Bob Quinn (baseball grandson)


Robert E. "Bob" Quinn (born 1936) is a retired American professional baseball executive. Quinn spent almost 30 years in senior front office positions in Major League Baseball and worked as the general manager of three clubs: the New York Yankees (from June 8, 1988, through October 12, 1989), Cincinnati Reds (from October 13, 1989, through the end of the 1992 season) and San Francisco Giants (from December 1, 1992, through September 30, 1996). He was the general manager of the 1990 World Series champion Cincinnati Reds.

Quinn is a third-generation member of a family involved in baseball management since the turn of the 20th century. His grandfather J.A. Robert Quinn at one time was an owner of the Boston Red Sox and Boston Braves and general manager of the St. Louis Browns and Brooklyn Dodgers. His father, John J. Quinn, was GM of the Braves in Boston and Milwaukee and the Philadelphia Phillies between 1945–72. A brother-in-law, Roland Hemond, is also a longtime baseball executive and the former general manager of the Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles. And Quinn's son, also named Bob, is the Milwaukee Brewers' executive vice president, finance and administration, the fourth generation of the Quinn family to work in senior management positions in professional baseball.
