As coach Timothy Earl Flannery (born September 29, 1957) is a former Major League Baseball player who spent 11 seasons with the San Diego Padres, from 1979 to 1989.

It wasn't until his fifth season, 1983, that Flannery hit his first Major League home run—a solo shot off the Chicago Cubs' Chuck Rainey.

He made three plate appearances in the 1984 National League Championship Series and reached base all three times.

Trailing 3–2 in game four of the series, Flannery hit a lead-off single in the fifth inning, and scored the tying run of the Padres' 7–5 victory over the Cubs.

[5] In game five, he reached on a ground ball that trickled through the legs of Cubs first baseman Leon Durham to score the tying run.

[9] Team organist Danny Topaz would greet Flannery's plate appearances with the imposing strains of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries.

[9] After a two-year hiatus from baseball, he became manager of the Padres' Northwest League affiliate Spokane Indians in 1993.

The following season, he led the California League's Rancho Cucamonga Quakes to a 77–59 record, and in 1995, he was handed the reins to the triple A Las Vegas Stars.

[17][18] He has sung the national anthem with Bob Weir and Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead several times, including during the 2012 and 2014 playoffs.

[19][20] Flannery has also held benefit concerts in support of injured Giants fan Bryan Stow.
