Player Biography
“Baseball must always keep pace with the times,” Warren Giles said upon retiring after 18 years as National League president. Although he respected tradition, Giles refused to be bound by old practices. Serving from 1952 to 1969, Giles oversaw one of the most significant and dynamic eras in league history. He addressed franchise relocation, expansion and the construction of new stadiums during his tenure. Giles began his 51-year baseball career in 1919 as a minor league club president, and ran the Cincinnati Reds from 1937 to 1952, a profitable tenure that included pennants in 1939 and 1940.
