George Weiss: Architect Behind Yankees Pennants and World Titles
Longtime executive George Weiss formed a powerhouse run with Casey Stengel for the Yankees producing 10 pennants and seven World Series titles. Named Major League Executive of the Year by Sporting News on three occasions, Weiss later joined the Mets in 1961 as president through 1966. His retirement den became a shrine of bats, scrapbooks, and mementos, reflecting a reserved but monumental behind the scenes figure in baseball history.
