About Sandy: Sandy was named Chief Executive Officer of the San Diego Padres on April 19, 2005. The Padres posted a winning record in each of his three seasons with the club. As one of Major League Baseball’s highest-ranking officials, Sandy oversaw baseball administration, umpiring, on-field operations, security, and facility management in the Office of the Commissioner. Under Sandy’s leadership, the Padres made strides in community and military outreach, including the presentation of several events at PETCO Park and brining the semi-finals and final game of the inaugural World Baseball Classic to San Diego in 2006 and 2009. Previous to his time with the Padres, Sandy was in charge of various special projects involving international play, including Major League Baseball’s participation in the historic games with the Cuban National Team in the spring of 1999 and the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, where Team USA won the Gold Medal. He has also been instrumental in the creation of Major League Baseball academies in Australia and Italy, and, domestically, the Urban Youth Academy in Compton, CA. Sandy holds degrees from Dartmouth College (1969) and Harvard Law School (1976) and also served four years as a Marine officer with a tour of duty in Vietnam.
