Topics Leadership Sports Related About Dayton Moore Dayton Moore begins his 10th full season with the Kansas City Royals, being named Senior Vice President-Baseball Operations/General Manager on May 30, 2006. He officially assumed his duties, becoming the sixth general manager in franchise history, on June 8, 2006. From day one, the goal Moore set out to accomplish was bringing a World Championship back to Kansas City, a dream that was brought to fruition in 2015. The Royals bested the New York Mets in five games to win the franchise's first World Series championship in 30 years. The club became just the fourth since 2000 to reach the Fall Classic in back-to-back seasons after coming up just short of a title in 2014. The 2015 season was one for the ages as Kansas City stormed to its first American League Central crown, winning an A.L.-best 95 games, which was their highest total since 1980. The club became just the second in Major League history to improve its win total in six-straight seasons. Along the way, the Royals set records in attendance, drawing 2.7 million fans to their 81 home games; local television viewership, recording an MLB-best 12.3 household rating during the 2015 season; and All-Star selections, sending seven players to the Midsummer Classic in Cincinnati, including four position players who were named starters. For his part in the success during the 2015 season, Moore was named the Esurance MLB Award for the Best Executive.

  • A's News Clips, Sunday, March 27, 2011 A's Notebook: Brandon
    A’s News Clips, Sunday, March 27, 2011 A's notebook: Brandon McCarthy earns No. 5 spot in starting rotation By Joe Stiglich, Contra Costa Times PHOENIX -- The A's starting rotation came into focus Saturday as manager Bob Geren announced right-hander Brandon McCarthy as his fifth starter. McCarthy, a 6-foot-7 right-hander, joins Trevor Cahill and left-handers Brett Anderson, Gio Gonzalez and Dallas Braden, who will precede McCarthy in that order. Signed to a one-year, $1 million deal in December, McCarthy is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in six appearances (three starts) in the Cactus League. His ERA inflated after a poor outing Friday against the Los Angeles Angels, when he allowed 10 hits and six earned runs. But McCarthy, 27, strung together a series of strong performances before that while showing pinpoint control. He's struck out 20 and walked just one in 26 innings, a main factor in Geren's choosing him over right-hander Tyson Ross. "He's got some previous experience and had a great spring," Geren said before a 4-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies. "It wasn't an easy decision and I'm happy it wasn't. That means guys are throwing the ball well." McCarthy is 20-24 with a 4.56 ERA in 110 career games (56 starts) with the Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers. But injuries have limited him to 45 appearances in the majors since 2007. He suffered stress fractures in his right shoulder in 2007 and 2009, and inflammation in his right forearm sidelined him for the first four months of 2008.

  • The Year of TEAM As We Close out 2017 and Look Ahead to 2018, We Want to Thank You for Your Support of “C” You in the Major Leagues
    “Building tomorrow’s leaders through America’s pastime.” 2017 Year In Review — The Year of TEAM As we close out 2017 and look ahead to 2018, we want to thank you for your support of “C” You In The Major Leagues. Whether you’ve donated your money or your time, you’ve been vital to changing lives in Kansas City in 2017. You’ve undoubtedly heard the acronym TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More. Usually TEAM is preached by countless coaches across the country, but away from sports, perhaps nowhere is that acronym more evident and true than in the nonprofit world. Lives cannot change without all of us working together. One of the most exciting things in 2017 came in September when we made a grant that put us over the $500,000 mark. It’s incredibly humbling to think that we — all of us — have been able to grant more than $500,000 to 45 organizations since CYITML started in 2014. Later in this program you’ll be able to see a list of those organizations and causes but of those 45, 32 have directly helped folks in our community. Our hope is that by January 2020, with your help, we will pass $1 million in grants. What an incredible impact that will have in Kansas City! At the same time, however, during the past couple years, as we’ve researched the needs of people in underserved areas of Kansas City, we’ve honed our focus even more. Besides making grants, we’re doing what we can with our own programming to reach people at a younger age to give hope, encouragement, and character-building leadership messages.
