Pat Friday (baseball executive)

Francis Patrick Friday (January 16, 1924 - April 2, 1993) was an American baseball executive who served as general manager of the Kansas City Athletics for four full seasons during the 1960s.

When he was hired by Athletics owner Charlie Finley to replace Frank Lane as general manager, Friday had no experience in baseball.

The Athletics did not have a winning season in eleven years in Kansas City.

[3] Author Susan Slusser points out that Finley was really the de facto general manager during Friday's tenure.

[4] Friday died on April 2, 1993, in Highland Park, Illinois, at the age of 69.
