Felipe Alou
Felipe Alou, a man whose name is synonymous with the Giants, returns
for his seventh season as a special assistant to the general manager after
serving as the clubs manager from 2003-06. He works closely with Brian
Sabean on special assignments, ranging from Major League scouting and
player acquisition to minor league instruction. He provides evaluations and
re-commendations at both levels.
The Dominican icon continues a long and storied career with the franchise, beginning with
his playing days as a member of the original San Francisco Giants club in 1958. He concluded his
four-year tenure at the helm of the Giants sixth on the wins list for San Francisco skippers with a
342-304 record.
The 2013 campaign will mark Alous 58th season in professional baseball. Following a
distin-guished 17-year playing career that ended in 1974, he was appointed a minor league manager in 1976 and remained in uniform each year through the 2006 campaign.
In 13 seasons as a Major League manager, the 1994 National League Manager of the Year posted
a 1,033-1,021-1 ledger and became just the 53rd skipper since 1900 to register 1,000 wins. The
Haina, Dominican Republic native is the first manager of Latin descent to win 1,000 games in
the big leagues, and is only the third foreign-born skipper to reach the milestone (current Giants
skipper Bruce Bochy, France, 1,182-1,230; and Harry Wright, England, 1,000-825).
Alou became the first Dominican-born manager in Major League history when he assumed
control of the Montreal Expos on May 22, 1992. He was the fourth Latin American head man born
in the Caribbean Islands, following Mike Gonzalez (Cuba), Preston Gomez (Cuba) and Cookie
Rojas (Cuba).
Primarily an outfielder during his playing days, the second Dominican-born player to reach
the Majors (following Ozzie Virgil with the 1956 New York Giants) was a three-time All-Star
during a 17-year career with the Giants (1958-63), Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves (1964-69),
Oakland Athletics (1970-71), New York Yankees (1971-73), Montreal Expos (1973) and Milwaukee
Brewers (1974).
Alou, and his wife Lucie, make their home in Boynton Beach, FL with their two children,
Valerie and Felipe, Jr. He is also the father of daughters Maria, Christia, Cheri and Jennifer, along
with sons Jose, Moises, Felipe Jose and Luis.
