"Trader Jack," as he is fondly referred to by Padres fans, spent 11 years with the organization, serving as general manager from 1980-90. In the last three of those seasons, McKeon was also the 12th manager in Padres history, going 193-164. But it was while he was with the Padres from 1979 through 1990 — as both general manager and manager — that McKeon earned his nickname. “I don’t have to trade, but I’m not afraid to pull the trigger,” McKeon once said. “If I can improve the Padres with a trade, I’ll consider anything. I’m a gambler. I always have been. I’m aggressive and I’m confident. I’m not worried about making a mistake because I think I’m going to be right much more often than I’m wrong.” - mlb.com, 2017

I save managers in the First_Last.fg format so as not to overwrite any MLB or MiLB playing day facegens they have. The manager profiles don't use the Historical Minors code so it works out.

Tremendous!


Thank you!
