SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS MISSION STATEMENT

The San Francisco Giants are dedicated to enriching our community through innovation and excellence on and off the field.


Laurence M. Baer PresidenT and chief execuTive officer

A fourth generation San Franciscan, Larry Baer has gained a national reputation as one of professional sports’ leading visionaries. Baer joined the team in 1992 as the executive vice president after he and Peter Magowan led the effort to assemble a new ownership group and negotiate the sale that kept the Giants in San Francisco. A limited partner of the ownership group, Baer was named chief operating officer in May 1996, team president in October 2008 and CEO on January 1, 2012. In his first year as president and CEO, the Giants won their second World Series Championship in three years.

As president and CEO, Baer serves as the club’s “control” person on all Giants, Major League Baseball and industry issues. Baer is responsible for the overall day-to-day functioning of the organization. Under his direction

the Giants developed and constructed AT&T Park -- the first privately-financed Major League ballpark. Since opening in 2000, AT&T Park has been widely praised as one of the “best ballparks ever built.” The club has received unprecedented fan support – becoming one of only four teams to exceed three million in attendance eight consecutive years (2000-2007). Currently, the Giants enjoy the longest active home sellout streak in Major League Baseball of 246 games. With the support of more than 29,000 full season ticket holders, the Giants sold out the 2011, 2012 and 2013 seasons and welcomed more than 3.3 mil-lion fans each year. The Giants have been the standard bearer in all of baseball for sponsorship revenue, and the ballpark continues to be one of the most popular venues in the country for special events. In 2008, AT&T Park was named Sports Business Journal’s Sports Facility of the Year, and in 2011 the Giants received Sports Business Journal’s Professional Sports Organization of the Year award.

Baer also serves as a key strategist and negotiator of the club’s major business and baseball transac-tions. This includes the Barry Bonds signing in November 1992, the naming rights agreement with AT&T (then Pacific Bell) in 1996 and other strategic business partnerships. He led the effort to host the 2007 All-Star Game in San Francisco and was the driving force behind the Giants partnership with Comcast to create a regional sports network for the Bay Area.

In 2013, Baer ensured that the longest tenured general manager and the longest active and most win-ning manager remained with the Giants by extending the contracts of Brian Sabean and Bruce Bochy. Baer worked closely with Sabean on strategic signings that keep several key players in Giants uniforms for years to come, including Buster Posey, Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner and Hunter Pence.

Baer also serves as President & CEO of Giants Development Services, which is currently developing Mission Rock – a new, mixed use urban neighborhood located on a 25-acre site across McCovey Cove from AT&T Park. Once completed, Mission Rock will include more than eight acres of parks and open space, an Anchor Steam Brewery, 650-1,500 residential units, 1.3 - 1.7 million square feet of office space, a parking structure to serve ballpark and Mission Rock patrons, and up to 250,000 square feet of retail, restaurants, and public amenities. The project is currently in the entitlement phase with groundbreaking projected for 2016.

After earning Phi Beta Kappa honors at the University of California in 1980, Baer joined the Giants as the club’s marketing director. In 1983, he left the Giants to attend Harvard Business School, followed by a four-year tenure at Westinghouse Broadcasting in San Francisco and New York. He finally returned to the Giants in December 1992 from CBS, Inc. in New York, where he had served as a special assistant to the network’s chairman, Laurence Tisch.

Baer has been the recipient of a number of prestigious awards throughout his career with the Giants. This includes the San Francisco Distinguished Leadership Award for civic leadership (1996), “Sports Torch of Learning Award” by the Scopus Society of the American Friends of The Hebrew University (1995), and the Anti-Defamation League’s Torch of Liberty Award (2001). In 2010, Baer was the named the “Person of the Year” by San Francisco Boys and Girls Club, and in 2012 he was honored as the Harvard Business School’s “Alumnus of the Year.” In March, 2014 Baer will be honored by University of California Berkeley with its “Excellence in Achievement” award.

Baer serves on the Board of Major League Baseball Enterprises, which oversees national television and radio contract negotiations, national sponsorship and licensing programs as well as the overall marketing of the industry.

Baer is a member of the Board of Directors of KQED, Inc., the San Francisco Committee on Jobs, the Bay Area Council, Comcast Sports Net Bay Area and is a member of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America Pacific Region Board of Trustees.

For many years, Baer’s wife, Pam, has spearheaded fundraising efforts for San Francisco General Hospital. Together, they are serving as Co-Chairs of the San Francisco General Foundation Campaign Committee, which raises capital to rebuild the hospital and trauma center.

Larry and Pam Baer reside in San Francisco with their four children.

Brian R. Sabean senior vice PresidenT and GeneraL ManaGer

Brian Sabean, who is currently the longest-tenured General Manager in Major League Baseball, was named San Francisco’s Senior Vice President and General Manager on Sept. 30, 1996. During his 17 years as GM, he has seen the Giants capture six post-season berths (including three World Series appearances and two Championships), with the club under his watch having earned more than half of its ten overall playoff appearances since moving West.

In 2012, Sabean was named Baseball America’s Executive of the Year as he stew-arded the Giants to their second World Series Championship in his tenure as General Manager. During the campaign, he acquired several key players and was strategic with call-ups down the stretch of the season.

In his 22nd year with the organization, and 29th season as a baseball front office executive, the 57 year-old Sabean was honored as 2010 Major League Baseball Executive of the Year by the Boston Chapter of the BBWAA. He was tabbed with the same honor by both The Sporting News and Baseball America in 2003.

Since Sabean assumed the GM reins following the 1996 season, the Giants have won two World Championships (2010 and 2012), three National League pennants (2002, 2010 and 2012), five NL West Division flags (1997, 2000, 2003, 2010 and 2012), been a Wild Card entry (2002) and forced a Wild Card tie-breaker game with Chicago in 1998, while posting a 1,468-1,284-1 (.533) mark during that 17-year span. This winning percentage is sixth overall in MLB, the third best in the National League and best in the NL West Division during Sabean’s tenure. In addition, under Sabean, the Giants are one of only four teams in the Major Leagues that have been to the World Series three-or-more times since 1997 (also: Cardinals, four times, Red Sox, three times and Yankees, six times) and are third in the National League with six post-season appearances in that span.

Recently under Sabean’s watch, the Giants’ organization has received prestigious awards, being named the Topps Organization of the Year in both 2009 and 2011 and the Baseball America Organization of the Year in 2010. These awards are given to Major League teams that show outstanding performance, depth and talent throughout their Major and Minor league teams.

In his first year as the Giants’ GM, the Concord, NH native finished second in The Sporting News’ 1997 Executive of the Year balloting. He seized national headlines for his bold player moves that season, engi-neering some of baseball’s most successful blockbuster trades, which catapulted San Francisco to its first divisional championship in eight years.

During his tenure as GM, Sabean has acquired some of the game’s best players via trades. They have included Giants’ All-Stars Jeff Kent, Jason Schmidt, Marco Scutaro and Robb Nen, as well as standout per-formers Ellis Burks, Joe Carter, Andres Galarraga, Kenny Lofton, Jose Mesa and J.T. Snow. The Giants’ GM has been known to bring reinforcements during the July 31 trading deadline, acquiring the likes of Carlos Beltran, Javier Lopez, Hunter Pence, Freddy Sanchez and Randy Winn.

The team architect also brought future Hall of Famers Omar Vizquel to San Francisco in 2005 and Randy Johnson in 2008, while adding Giants’ All-Star Benito Santiago in 2001, two-time Gold Glove catcher Bengie Molina, three-time All-Star Tim Hudson in 2013 and five-time National League All-Star (and eventual 2010 World Series MVP) Edgar Renteria in 2009.

Before his promotion to GM in 1996, Sabean served one season as the club’s Senior Vice President, Player Personnel in 1995 and enjoyed a three-year stint as Assistant to the General Manager and Vice President of Scouting/Player Personnel. Prior to joining the Giants, Sabean played a vital role in developing the Yankees’ farm system into one of baseball’s finest. During his eight-year tenure with the Yankees, he held several positions of increasing responsibil-ity, including Director of Scouting from 1986-90 and Vice President of Player Development/Scouting from 1990-92.

Sabean, who graduated from Concord (NH) High School in 1974 and Eckerd College (St. Petersburg, FL) in 1978, served as an assistant baseball coach at St. Leo (FL) College in 1979 and the University of Tampa from 1980-82. He was then promoted to head coach at Tampa in 1983, holding that post for two years, compil-ing a 61-36 record and making the school’s first-ever appearance in an NCAA regional tournament in 1984.

Sabean and his wife, Amanda, have two sons, Aidan and Declan. They are also the proud dad and stepmom to Colin, Sean, Brendan and Darren.
