COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Pat Gillick toured the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday in preparation for his July induction.
Gillick represents another baseball rarity: A Hall of Fame general manager.
The architect of World Series champions in Toronto and Philadelphia, Gillick was elected to the Hall of Fame in December by the expansion era committee and will be enshrined in Cooperstown along with Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven.
Gillick is one of four men who served primarily as team builders — along with Ed Barrow, Branch Rickey and George Weiss — to be elected to the Hall of Fame and will be the 32nd executive overall enshrined.
