Sandy Alderson

Richard Lynn Alderson (born November 22, 1947 in Seattle, Washington) is the CEO of the Major League Baseball San Diego Padres.

Prior to the Padres, Alderson worked for MLB's commissioner’s office, where he was executive vice president for baseball operations between September 1998 and 2005.

The son of a career Air Force pilot, Alderson attended Dartmouth College on a NROTC scholarship and graduated in 1969. He then joined the United States Marine Corps and served a tour of duty in Vietnam. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1976.

After law school, he worked for Farella Braun & Martel in San Francisco, California. Roy Eisenhardt, one of the firm's partners, left to become president of the Oakland Athletics when his father-in-law bought the team. In 1981, Alderson joined Eisenhardt to became the A's general counsel and was later named the team's general manager. The A's won four division titles, three pennants and the 1989 World Series during Alderson's tenure. He was a mentor to Billy Beane of Moneyball fame.
