Herman Franks, who managed the San Francisco Giants to four consecutive second-place finishes in the 1960s but who was also remembered in connection with an elaborate sign-stealing scheme during the NY Giants' dramatic 1951 pennant victory in their Polo Grounds years, died on March 30 at his home in Salt Lake City. He was 95.
