As manager As coach Colbert Dale "Toby" Harrah (born October 26, 1948) is an American former professional baseball shortstop and third baseman.

Harrah played the majority of his career for the Texas Rangers franchise, including his rookie season during the team's final year as the Washington Senators in 1971.

In a 13–11 Rangers win over the Baltimore Orioles at Memorial Stadium on August 6, 1986 which was the first-ever game in MLB history that featured three grand slams, Harrah hit the first one of the contest off Ken Dixon in the second inning.

[3] Harrah was noted for his good eye at the plate, placing in the top ten in the league for bases on balls on nine occasions, including an AL-best 109 in 1977.

Despite his superior statistical accomplishments, Harrah only received a single vote for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992, thereby removing his name from future ballots.

He did not match the awards or "counting stats" (avg, HR, RBI) of well-hitting contemporary shortstops like Cal Ripken Jr. and Barry Larkin, or third baseman such as Wade Boggs or George Brett, all of whom were on their way to HOF careers by the time Harrah was eligible in 1992.

In 1995 Harrah managed the Triple A Norfolk Tides to an 86–56 record, finishing in first place in the International League East Division.

In 1996 he served as the third base coach for the Cleveland Indians under Mike Hargrove, replacing Buddy Bell, who had been named manager of the Detroit Tigers.

[11] Tigers manager Jim Leyland noted that with so many players struggling at once, hitting coach Lloyd McClendon had been stretched thin.

[12] LaRussa had been the first to adopt a two-coach system when he named an assistant hitting coach, (Mike Aldrete), with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2008.
