Dale Curtis Sveum (/ˈsweɪm/ SWAYM; born November 23, 1963) is an American former Major League Baseball (MLB) player and manager.

He was a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, and New York Yankees.

During his time at Pinole Valley High School, Sveum was recognized as an All-State and All-American quarterback,[1] in addition to playing baseball and basketball.

One of his personal highlights came early in the season, when he hit a walk-off home run at County Stadium to give Milwaukee a 6–4 victory over the Texas Rangers.

[1][6] Sveum led the team to a 7–5 record to close out the 2008 regular season,[7] which was enough for the Brewers to make the playoffs for the first time since their World Series run in 1982.

[9] After the season ended, newly-extended general manager Doug Melvin announced Sveum was out of the running for the managerial spot and hitting coach Jim Skaalen was fired.

[14] On October 3, 2013, the Kansas City Royals announced they had hired Sveum as a coach and infield instructor, reuniting him with Yost (serving as manager).
