His MLB experience took him to managing positions with the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirate’s organizations. This experience then led to a second career in scouting with the St. Louis Cardinals, Cleveland Indians, Oakland As, and the Baltimore Orioles.
In 1974, he assisted in developing the MLB Scouting Bureau, a scouting service used by all Major League Baseball teams. He became the director of the Scouting Bureau, which helped in the evolution of the baseball scouting profession. He is the recipient of MLB’s Lifetime Achievement Award for his commitment and dedication to the professional baseball industry.
He was inducted into the Baltimore Orioles’ Hall of Fame for his contributions in advising them whom to draft and whom to trade for, which assisted the team in participating in four World Series.vizualizați mai puține
