About Crane Kenney

Crane is in his 26th season with the Cubs organization. He was named President of Business Operations following the Ricketts’ family purchase of the Cubs in 2009 and is responsible for the strategic direction of the Cubs business operations and the development of the Wrigleyville campus. In his role, Crane is responsible for the organization’s growth, including new business development; design, construction and operation of its facilities; media strategy; government relations; associate recruitment and training; and development of a winning culture.

About Larry Baer

A fourth generation San Franciscan, Larry Baer has gained a national reputation as one of professional sports’ leading visionaries. Baer joined the Giants in 1992 as the executive vice president after he and Peter Magowan led the effort to assemble a new ownership group and negotiate the sale that kept the Giants in San Francisco. A limited partner of the ownership group, Baer was named chief operating officer in May 1996, team president in October 2008 and CEO on January 1, 2012. In his first year as president and CEO, the Giants won their second World Series Championship in three years. In 2014, the Giants won their third World Series title in five years.

As president and CEO, Baer serves as the club’s “control” person on all Giants, Major League Baseball and industry issues. Baer is responsible for the overall day-to-day functioning of the organization. Under his direction the Giants developed and constructed AT&T Park -- the first privately-financed Major League ballpark.  Since opening in 2000, AT&T Park has been widely praised as one of the “best ballparks ever built.”  The club has received unprecedented fan support – becoming one of only four teams to exceed three million in attendance eight consecutive years (2000-2007).
