At the risk of over- stating it, I see that quest as a calling, not a job.” Since 2007, Burrell has served as president and chief ex- ecutive officer

  • Tito Francona Smiled on Monday As He Recalled His First Drive up to Cleveland So Many Decades Ago
    Return to Cleveland a Francona family affair By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | 10/08/12 4:35 PM ET CLEVELAND -- Tito Francona smiled on Monday as he recalled his first drive up to Cleveland so many decades ago. When the city was within view, just breathing everything in let him know he could get to like this town. "I saw the steel mills and saw all the smoke," Francona said. "I took a good whiff of it and said, 'You know what? This is just like home.'" Home for Francona is New Brighton, Pa., a steel town located roughly two hours southeast of Cleveland, where Francona suited up for the Indians during the 1950s and '60s. Cleveland always felt like his second home, so Francona was thrilled to be back inside Progressive Field on Monday morning. That is where the Indians officially introduced Terry Francona -- Tito's son -- as the 42nd manager in the franchise's long history. During his press conference, Terry Francona offered a warm smile and thanked his dad for being there, along with his wife, Jean. It was clearly a special moment for the Francona family. Terry will never forget telling his dad he was going to be the manager of the Indians. "I kind of cried a little bit," Terry Francona said. "I didn't want to, but it just happens. You can't take a job because your dad was a good Indian, but it's still a good story. My dad spent six years here. This is my third stint with the Indians, and it's pretty special.

  • Title VII & MLB Minority Hiring
    TITLE VII & MLB MINORITY HIRING: ALTERNATIVES TO LITIGATION Aaron T. Walker* "It has long been my conviction that we can learnfar more about the conditions, and values, of a society by contemplating how it chooses to play, to use its free time, to take its leisure, than by examining how it goes about its work. "' --A. Bartlett Giamatti, Former Major League Baseball Commissioner. I. INTRODUCTION In 1997, Major League Baseball (MLB) celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the modem day color barrier as the first African American player in the league's history. However, as all thirty MLB teams memorialized Robinson throughout their stadiums, critics challenged MLB to be honest about its progress in minority hiring.2 In the fifty years following Robinson's milestone, only four minority managers and one minority general manager (GM) had been hired by MLB teams.3 Since then, there has been minimal progress in minority hiring. At the commencement of the 2007 MLB season, two minority general managers (GMs) and five minority managers lead MLB teams.4 Despite * B.A. 2003 University of Virginia; J.D.
