This is actually correct. His first manager was Jimmy Dykes, who was born in 1896.
If you want to play the degrees of separation game, Jimmy Dykes first manager was the HOF manager Connie Mack, who was born during the Civil War.

I don't know if it's as hot as this, but Alex Gordon had a pretty hot August in 2014 during the first playoff push.
