Since the early 1930s "MacPhail" has been a big name in baseball.
Three generations of this one family have provided leadership,
innovation and vision for the sport. Larry, Lee and Andy MacPhail,
representing very different eras of American life, have each
addressed baseball's needs and opportunities in his own way. During
the 1930s and 1940s Larry MacPhail served as general manager and
vice president of the Cincinnati Reds, executive vice president and
president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and part owner and president of
the New York Yankees. He was posthumously inducted into the
Baseball Hall of Fame in 1978. Larry's son, Lee, worked for 13
years in the Yankee organization before serving as general manager
and president of the Baltimore Orioles. Lee later served two
five-year terms as president of the American League and two years
as president of the Player Relations Committee. Lee was inducted
into the Hall of Fame in 1998, becoming the only son ever to join
his father in the Hall. Lee's son, Andy, worked in management
positions for the Chicago Cubs, the Houston Astros and the
Minnesota Twins before becoming president and CEO of the Cubs.
