Player Biography
The architect of state-of-the-art teams in both Kansas City and Atlanta, John Schuerholz switched careers in his mid-20s – going from middle school teacher to front office executive. After learning on the job with the Orioles in the late 1960s, Schuerholz joined the expansion Royals and helped lay the groundwork for one of the most consistent teams of the late 70s and early 80s. He became the youngest general manager in baseball in 1981 with the Royals, fine-tuning the roster into the club that would win the 1985 World Series. Moving to Atlanta in 1990, Schuerholz quickly turned the Braves into a National League powerhouse, winning five NL pennants and the 1995 World Series from 1991-99 – making him the first GM in history to capture World Series titles in both leagues. Leading the Braves to 14 straight postseason appearances from 1991-2005, Schuerholz established himself as one of the game’s top talent evaluators.
