George Dallas Green (August 4, 1934 – March 22, 2017) was an American pitcher, manager and executive in Major League Baseball. After playing for the Philadelphia Phillies, Washington Senators, and New York Mets from 1960 through 1967, he went on to manage the Phillies, New York Yankees, and Mets. Green managed the Phillies when they won their first World Series title in 1980 over the Kansas City Royals, and as general manager of the Chicago Cubs from 1981 to 1987 he built the club which won a division title in 1984, the Cubs' first postseason appearance in 39 years. Green had a losing record both as a pitcher and as a manager. Nonetheless, in 1983 he was inducted into the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame. He achieved notoriety for his blunt manner.

Green was born in Newport, Delaware. He was the middle of three children. Green graduated from Conrad High School, and attended the University of Delaware. He played as a pitcher and right fielder for the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens baseball team. After Green pitched to a 6–0 win-loss record and an 0.88 earned run average (ERA) in 1955, his junior year, Jocko Collins, a scout for the Philadelphia Phillies, signed Green as an amateur free agent.
