Jamestown – Jim Riggleman, a member of the 1971 Jamestown College baseball team, was named interim manager of the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.

Riggleman, who was currently serving as the Reds’ bench coach, takes over for Bryan Price. Price was 279-387 in four-plus seasons as the Cincinnati skipper. The Reds are 3-15 this season and have lost 10 of their last 11. Pitching coach Mack Jenkins was also relieved of his duties.

The 1971 Jimmies finished 11-10, but a three-home run game by Riggleman was one of the season’s highlights.

Following his freshman season at Jamestown, Riggleman transferred to Frostburg State University in Maryland. After finishing his college career in 1974, he was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Originally from Rockville, Md., Riggleman has managed for all or parts of 12 seasons in the big leagues, including stops at San Diego, Chicago (NL), Seattle, and Washington.
