About George Weiss (baseball)
- George Martin Weiss (June 23, 1894 – August 13, 1972) was an American professional baseball executive.
- Elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971, Weiss was one of the Major Leagues' most successful farm system directors and general managers during his 29-year-long tenure with the New York Yankees. Working as the head of the Yankees' player-development system from 1932 to 1947, he established it as one of the two best in the game, helping the "Bronx Bombers" win nine American League pennants and eight World Series championships over 16 full years.
- Then, during Weiss' 13 full seasons as the Yankees' general manager from October 1947 to October 1960, the team won ten AL pennants and seven more World Series titles, compiling a regular-season winning percentage of .622 (1,243–756).
- He later became the first club president of the New York Mets from 1961 to 1966 after that expansion franchise was formed.
