All graphics have been improved to make the resolution as good as possible, but the reader should remember that many came from copies of old newspaper articles and photos. Credit to the source of the photos, etc. is provided whenever it was available. We realize that many items are not identified and regret that we weren’t able to provide this information. As far as the newspaper articles that are not identified, 99% of them would have to be from one of three possible sources. The Courier- Journal, The Louisville Times or one of the Voice publications.

"Chuck" & Susan Y. Armstrong - Katherine, "Chuck" & Dorrie Waggener High Scrapbook: Charles Gilbert Armstrong (60) Courtesy of http://www.bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=35 Biz-Baseball Chuck Armstrong- President- Mariners, by Maury Brown, Monday 9, January 2006 Chuck Armstrong has been through the bad, and now, good times with the Seattle Mariners. This interview touches on how he came to work for the Mariners, what options they were looking into after a tile fell from the roof of the Kingdome, how the team is now marketed as a ‘regional’ club, marketing of Ichiro, and how the Mariners plan to work with Kenji Johjima. Armstrong also touches on the use of Safeco’s roof, whether the field dimensions might be changed, how a team in Portland might be viewed, fiscal discipline as it pertains to player payroll, and much more. The Emerald City. The Space Needle. Lattes.The Seattle Mariners. They’re all linked together now. Seattle is a solid market, and moreover, its MLB franchise is a success as a business-- better, than many may even know (I’ll get to that in the interview). There was a point in the 70s and ‘80s when the idea of MLB and Seattle, well.., that market just wasn’t going to fly. Bowie Kuhn says he believed in Seattle at the time he was commissioner. Even when the Pilots collapsed in 1970 and some guy from Milwaukee known as “Bud” carted the team off, there were those that believed that the Pacific Northwest would be a growing and untapped market for Major League Baseball, It surely didn’t start as much when the Seattle Mariners were christened in 1977. The club arrived via expansion after the City of Seattle and the State of Washington brought litigation against the AL over the move of the Pilots to Milwaukee. Entertainer Danny Kaye and five local Seattle businessmen had stepped up and purchased the club. The club failed misera- bly in the standings as well as failed to draw in the overly spacious Kingdome, which the Mariners shared with the NFL’s Seahawks. In 1981, California real estate magnate George Argyros purchased the club and, while there was little change initially, things started to slowly move in a more positive direction. Chuck Armstrong was the general counsel for Argyros’ real estate holdings and had moved up quickly through the ranks to manage Argyros’ growing business assets. In 1983, Argyros brought Armstrong from Southern California to Seattle to as- sume the role of president of the Mariners. The club had just come off an abysmal 102-loss season, and Argyros was look- ing to turn around what few fans the club had from something more than casual apathy. As they say, “winning cures all ills” in sports, and in 1984, the Mariners got to respectable 74 wins. In 1989, Argyros sold the team to Indianapolis communications mogul Jeffery Smulyan. That meant Armstrong was to be out of work. He soon landed back in Seattle when he accepted the position of interim athletic director for the University of Washington for a short time, after which he left to work at a Seattle law firm. At the behest of then U.S. Senator Slade Gor- ton, Armstrong was recruited with a number of other business leaders to try to keep the Mariners in Seattle when Smulyan discussed relocating the club to Tampa Bay. Eventually, a group headed by Nintendo CEO Hiroshi Yamauchi purchased the mariners in 1992, and Armstrong was, once again, brought in as president of the Mariners. Since that time, the Mariners have vaulted out of the cellar in the standings and moved into a new facility in Safeco Field. The club has become, by all business standards, a stunning success. The key, as Armstrong details it, is in marketing the Mariners as a regional sports entertainment option, not just a “Seattle” team. ______ In the following interview Armstrong touches on the early days of his of his career, how the Mariners were turned around, and the marketing of the club— from key players such as Ichiro to their newly acquired catcher, Kenji Johjima. Other top- ics include fan comfort and the use of Safeco Field’s roof, whether Safeco’s dimensions might be changed, how another team in the region might impact the Mariners, team payroll restrictions, other uses of Safeco as an entertainment facility, and much more. With SABR 36 being hosted by Seattle in late June and early July 2006, its members will be able to see the fruits of Arm- strong’s labor of love up close and personal. — Maury Brown BizBaII: You had an unbelievable intersection of events in life, with your bar exam, your military draft, and your marriage all happening right on top of each other. Can you tell us about this event and if it had any influence on how you deal with pressure in the business? Waggener High Scrapbook: Charles Gilbert Armstrong (60) Courtesy of http://www.bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=35 Biz-Baseball Chuck Armstrong-President-Mariners, by Maury Brown, Monday 9, January 2006 Armstrong: You know, it was 1967, and I’m from Louisville, KY. Muhammad Ali—he was known as Cassius Clay in those days—was a conscientious objector, and the whole focus of the draft was on that draft board. So that was the toughest draft board in the country. I had graduated from law school--I went to Purdue for Engineering and then went on to Stanford Law School, and was studying for the California Bar Exam. I got my draft notice and had my induction physical in the summer of 1967. I figured if I was going to go in, I would rather go in the Navy. So, I filed dual applications with the Navy as a line officer and for the JAG Corps. They only accept you as a JAG Officer if you’d passed the bar. The California Bar Exam was given the last week of August, and I got married on September 1, 1967. So, its a 3-Day bar exam. On the second day of the Bar Exam, I opened my mail and here’s my induction notice, informing me that I’m supposed to be inducted into the Army on Septem- ber 1, which was my wedding day. So I took the California Bar, got inducted into the Army, but instead joined the Navy the day after the Bar Exam, and I got married a day or two after that... and yeah, that is stress and pressure. Fortunately I passed the Bar, I’m still married over 38 years, I have three wonderful children, and I had a great experience in the Navy.

  • UW School of Law
    UW School of Law Transcript - Moneyball Jason: All right, everybody. Thank you for showing up today. Now I'm just going to give you a little, brief introduction of our speaker, Chuck Armstrong. Graduated from Stanford Law, and then went on to serve in the Navy. After serving in the Navy, he worked in a commercial holdings company named Argyros, in which he was their general counsel. Argyros actually purchased the Seattle Mariners in 1981. By 1983, Mr. Armstrong was the president of the Mariners. After that, he had a brief stint, in the late '80s and early '90s, where he was away and, among many things that he did at the time, he actually served as the interim athletic director at the University of Washington. So, he has ties here, and he was obviously nice enough to come today. In 1992, he regained his position as president and has held that ever since. During that time period, the Mariners have seen unprecedented growth. They're one of the main revenue- earning ball clubs in all of Major League Baseball. His jobs include everything in the business that they do, he basically is in control of. And, like I said, he's overseen the building of Safeco Field, which was a very big deal, the strike in '94, and was part of the winningest team - Seattle Mariners, most wins in all of Major League history. So, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, Chuck Armstrong. [applause] Chuck Armstrong: Thanks, Jason. Am I miced up OK? Can everybody hear me all right? I'm not sure what all you all want to talk about, so I want to leave a lot of time for Q&A.
