Mlb General
How should I go about becoming a General Manager in baseball?
All I can ever imagine myself being in the future is a GM of a MLB team, ever since I was about 11. I really want to do this and am 100% sure of it. I am presently in high school and won’t graduate for 2 more years. What could I do that will prepare me for my dream job. ie. what classes could I take in HS and college and so forth, and things in life.
PLEASE HELP
Well – first off you need to go to college and get your degree in finance / business management. Then study law and have a good understanding of contract law. As the GM you need an understanding of the broad spectrum of everything that goes on with a team.
Second – know the game. Know the rules, the in and outs, and appreciate and respect the history of the game. Be able to evaluate talent. Study young players, take notes, then see if you were right a few years later. Knowing young talent makes a GM great and gives him options to make deals later. Look at Billy Bean in Oakland – that guy keep the A’s competitive year after year with young guys, after he moves his studs for money reasons.
You need to be prepared to pay your dues doing other jobs for an organization, hence a good education – there are only 30 of these jobs out there and most guys don’t get a GM job until late 30′s early 40′s. Theo Epstein is the exception. If it is truly your dream, stay focused and study other GM’s. Especially the successful ones – note their work ethic, their background, how long it took them to get their break. Good Luck
