Los Angeles Dodgers Information

A Legend in Baseball

For more of the second half of baseball’s history, few men have been central characters than has Emil Joseph Bavasi, an executive/pioneer who had a profound impact on both coasts and could talk out of both sides of his mouth. And Buzzie Bavasi indeed was a character during his half-century in the game, a shrewd but often tactless man who used the entire wide berth accommodated by an era before political correctness.

Living in happy retirement in La Jolla, California, with Evit, his bride of 66 years, Bavasi, succeeded the legendary Branch Rickey as the Brooklyn Dodgers general manager in 1951, now the LA Dodgers team. He retired from the Angels following the 1999 season. In-between, he also served as the San Diego Padres’ charter president and spearheaded organizations which captured four World Series and nine pennants.

Although the bottom line is quite impressive, Bavasi was always more about flair than feat. A personification of “old-school,” he was one of the guardians of the reserve-clause brand of baseball. He once said, “We operated by the Golden Rule. He who has the gold rules.”

Yet after free agency dawned in 1976, Bavasi became one of its most fervent exploiters. For all those reasons, Bavasi is on the 2008 Veterans Committee ballot on Executives/Pioneers with Barney Dreyfuss, Bowie Kuhn, John Fetzer, Ewing Kauffmann, Bob Howsam, John McHale Sr., Walter O’Malley, Gabe Paul and Marvin Miller.

As many as four candidates can be elected by a 75% vote of the 12-member committee, which will meet via conference call on the 2nd of December to make its decision. The results will be announced on the 3rd of December during the first day of the Winter Meetings in Nashville, Tennessee. Any living inductees will appear at a media conference on the 4th of December. Furthermore, a separate 10-man ballot of managers and umpires simultaneously will be voted upon by a different 16-person committee. Bavasi’s proudest career moment came early, in 1955, when he presented Brooklyn with the only, and long overdue, World Series title by a Dodgers team he would rule for 17 years with the iron hand given him by owner Walter O’Malley.

On the other hand, Don Baylor was suffering through a horrible season, a couple of years after reigning as the American League's 1979 MVP, when Bavasi swept through Anaheim Stadium’s press lounge and spotted a group photo on the wall of Baylor, Reggie Jackson, Rod Carew, and Fred Lynn. “What's Baylor doing in that picture with those hitters?” Bavasi said.

By 1979, Bavasi pushed away most of Southern California, not so much for his inability to re-sign free agent Nolan Ryan to a new contract as for his parting words about the Angels icon who that season had gone 16-14: “We'll just have to find a couple of 8-7 pitchers to replace him.”

After the durable Ryan notched his sixth no-hitter in 1990, Bavasi sent him a message: “Nolan, some time ago I made it public that I made a mistake. You don't have to rub it in.”

That was Bavasi, never afraid to eat his own crow. He did not hide from his mistakes, nor ever hid his opinions. His demeanor and approach may not translate to a different age of baseball, but his sensibilities still apply. Upon being appointed MLB’s youngest general manager in 2003 by the Red Sox, Theo Epstein credited a man 60 years his senior with the best advice he ever received. “Buzzie Bavasi said to remember that every time you're about to make a deal, the guy on the other end of the phone is just as smart as you are, probably smarter,” said Epstein.

Moreover, Bavasi is a true baseball patriarch. Eldest son Peter was Padres general manager before stints as president of the Blue Jays and Indians. Bill Bavasi is the current general manager of the Mariners, and held the same post with the 1994-99 Angels.

The LA Dodgers is indeed rich in history this team, will continue to make great stories in the history of baseball.
