Join us as author and sports historian Lee C. Kluck explores his book, "Leave While the Party's Good: The Life and Legacy of Baseball Executive Harry Dalton." In this definitive biography of Dalton (1928–2005), Kluck tells the full and colorful story of a man many consider the first modern baseball executive.
Harry Dalton was a front office executive in Major League Baseball for more than forty years, serving as general manager for the Baltimore Orioles (1966–71), the California Angels (1972–77), and the Milwaukee Brewers (1978–91). He was the principal architect of the Orioles’ dynasty and of the only American League Championship the Brewers ever won.
Lee C. Kluck is a sports historian from Stevens Point. He is a frequent contributor to the Society for American Baseball Research. This is his first book.
