    SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS MISSION STATEMENT

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

  • San franciSco GiantS 2015 | 19

    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. In 2014, the Giants won their third World Series title in five years.

    As president and CEO, Baer serves as the clubs 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 327 games. With the support of more than 30,000 full season ticket holders, the Giants sold out the 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons and welcomed more than 3.3 million 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 Journals Sports Facility of the Year, and in 2011 the Giants received Sports Business Journals Professional Sports Organization of the Year award.

    Baer also serves as a key strategist and negotiator of the clubs 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.

    Baer worked closely with the Giants Baseball department 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 clubs 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 networks 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 Leagues 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 Schools Alumnus of the Year. In 2014, Baer was honored by the University of California Berkeley with its Excellence in Achievement award and received the Civic Leadership Award from the American Jewish Committee.

    Baer chairs Major League Baseballs Long-Term Strategic Planning Committee and serves on MLBs Business and Media Board and MLBs Legislative Affairs Committee.

    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.

    Baer and his wife, Pam, co-chair the San Francisco General Foundation Campaign Committee in support of the new hospital, which will open toward the end of 2015.

    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 Franciscos Senior Vice President and General Manager on Sept. 30, 1996. During his 18 years as GM, he has seen the Giants capture seven post-season berths (including four World Series appearances and three Championships), with the club having earned more than half of its 11 overall playoff appearances since moving West.

    Over the last five seasons, under Sabeans watch, the Giants have won three World Series titles, becoming the first team to win three titles in a five-year span since the New York Yankees won four from 1996-2000.

    Since Sabean assumed the GM reins following the 1996 season, the Giants have won three World Championships (2010, 2012, 2014), four National League pennants (2002, 2010, 2012, 2014), five NL West Division flags (1997, 2000, 2003, 2010 and 2012), two Wild Card entries (2002, 2014) and forced a Wild Card tie-breaker game with Chicago in 1998, while posting a 1,556-1,358-1 (.534) mark during that 18-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 Sabeans tenure. In addition, under Sabean, the Giants are one of only three teams in the Major Leagues that have been to the World Series four-or-more times since 1997 (also: Cardinals, four times and Yankees, six times) and are third in the National League with seven post-season appearances in that span.
