Pat Gillick was considered one of the finest baseball minds in the history of the game. A three-time World Series-winning general manager, he led the Blue Jays, Orioles, and Mariners to the postseason before coming to Philadelphia and constructing a team that broke the Phillies' 14-year playoff drought. Under his leadership, the Phillies won consecutive division titles and the 2008 World Series, their second in club history. As Phillies general manager, he acquired Brad Lidge, Jayson Werth, Jamie Moyer, Shane Victorino, and Pedro Feliz. Following his time as general manager, he served as president in 2015 and as a senior advisor. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2011.
