Baseball Jobs

Sports jobs, at times, carry  a certain stigma. They seem out of reach from the everyday person. Well,  that couldn't be further from the truth. Sports jobs are one of the  most recession proof industries in the market. Everyone loves sports.

Specifically, baseball jobs  are regarded as one of the easiest of all the sports jobs to break in  to. With 30 teams in MLB alone and countless Single A, AA and AAA affiliates  throughout the US. It's no wonder baseball jobs are so accessible. Alongside  the professional dealings of the business of baseball, Universities  everywhere hold major stock in the ever-growing programs and feeder  leagues, all of which are always creating more baseball jobs.

One person who has succeeded  from the abundance of baseball jobs is Michael Crowley, the 10th President  of the Oakland Athletics' baseball franchise. Crowley is in his 10th  year as acting President, and is holding strong as having the second  longest tenure in the organization's history.


Prior to his baseball jobs  beginnings with the Oakland Athletics, Crowley spent nearly 12 years  working for San Jose based Price Waterhouse and Fuller O'brien Paints.  Neither job had much to do with sports jobs or baseball jobs for that  matter.

Crowley joined the Athletics  organization in July 1997 as vice president and chief financial officer.  Considered a key figure in the A's resurgence as one of baseball's premier  franchises, Crowley has been committed to fielding a championship caliber  team with homegrown talent. He works closely with General Manager Billy  Beane on key player decisions and issues relating to the baseball operations  overall objectives and philosophies.
Crowley has developed a business  model whose goals and objectives are to provide an affordable entertainment  product on the field as well as delivering the absolute highest levels  of customer service to fans attending games at the McAfee Coliseum.  While Crowley stays involved with all aspects of the organization's  business affairs, including finance, sales, marketing, public relations  and community affairs, he has be at the forefront of building an outstanding  team that continues to deliver outstanding value.

Crowley's leadership skills  and business acumen were evident as he played an instrumental role in  the negotiations surrounding the team's acquisition of a 143-acre parcel  of land in Fremont, which will serve as the future home of Cisco Field.  He will continue to take a lead role in the development of the ballpark  and surrounding village.

Crowley continues the Athletics'  tradition of intense commitment to the greater community. Under his  leadership, the A's organization continues to be active in the Oakland  community and surrounding areas. The Oakland A's Community Fund supports  charitable organizations in their efforts to improve educational programs,  aid the underprivileged, assist in crime prevention, service children,  seniors and those who work to improve the quality of life throughout  the Bay Area.

In 1999, Crowley and his wife,  Kathy, played a key role in implementing Breast Cancer Awareness Day,  which has raised close to $600,000 for the American Cancer Society over  the last seven years. He also served on the board of top business executives  and community leaders which attempted to land the 2012 Summer Olympic  Games in the Bay Area.


A native Californian, the 42-year  old Crowley graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1985 with  a degree in business administration with an emphasis in accounting.  He earned his MBA from Duke's Fuqua School of Business in 1992. In November  of 2002, Crowley was named one of Street & Smith's Sports Business  Journal's 40 Under 40", honoring the nation's top sport executives  under the age of 40.
