Professional Baseball Executive. During a 41-year career in baseball, from 1953 to 1994, he was General Manager for the Baltimore Orioles, California Angels and Milwaukee Brewers. Known as a shrewd executive, he made clever trades putting the teams together that played to win. In six seasons as general manager, the Orioles won the league pennant four times, the World Series in 1966 and in 1970. He left Baltimore for the Angels in October 1971 and set out to make another winning team. In his six seasons with the Angels, they never finished higher than fourth in the American League West and he became known as "Hangman Harry" because of his five managerial changes. Hired by the Brewers in 1977, he laid the groundwork for a pennant winning team. Under his direction for fifteen years as the Brewers general manager, the team had nine winning seasons including their only World Series appearance in 1982. He was awarded baseball's executive of the year by the Sporting News in 1970 and 1982. On July 24, 2003, he was inducted into the Milwaukee Brewers Walk of Fame. Cause of death, Parkinson's disease at age 77.
