Padres era Jack McKeon was the best! Looking just like my Uncle Stan (RIP) ‘Trader Jack’ was actually the General Manager and architect of the Padres club who would reach the World Series in 1984, before he took over the Manager position in 1988. Jack only lasted until the All-Star Break of the 1990 season before he pulled himself out. He lost the General Manager position just two months later.
