Biography:
A baseball "lifer" for more than 50 years, Pat Gillick made the transition from a sore armed minor league pitcher to a team executive, brilliant at recognizing talent and building ball clubs. Scouting and player development stints with the Houston Astros and New York Yankees led to 27 seasons as a general manager with four teams, earning 11 postseason berths and 20 winning seasons. Gillick's leadership brought the Toronto Blue Jays their first-ever Fall Classic titles in 1992 and 1993, took the Baltimore Orioles and Seattle Mariners to the playoffs and earned a championship crown for the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies.
