Roy Hamey Autograph
Henry Roy Hamey (June 9, 1902 – December 14, 1983) was an American front-office executive in Major League Baseball (MLB). A longtime employee of the New York Yankees, he was appointed the club's general manager in November 1960. Inheriting a pennant-winner from his predecessor, George Weiss, he maintained the Yankees' dominant position in MLB by producing three additional American League champions and two World Series champions in three full seasons before retiring in the autumn of 1963. Hamey also spent nine years as the general manager of two National League franchises, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies, during the period between 1947 and 1958. More about Roy Hamey

A native of Havana, Illinois, Hamey's early employment included working in an office job with Standard Oil of Indiana and managing vaudeville theaters.
He entered minor league baseball in 1925 as business manager of Class B Springfield of the Three–I League. In 1934 he joined the Yankees as front office boss of their Class A Binghamton Triplets club in the New York–Pennsylvania League. He arrived as Weiss, then director of the Yankees' farm system, was building a minor league organization that would rival, and perhaps surpass, the St. Louis Cardinals' pioneering system. After Hamey's success at Binghamton, Weiss transferred him to business manager of one of New York's two highest-tier farm clubs, the Kansas City Blues of the top-level (then called Double-A) American Association. Stocked with Yankee prospects, the Blues were almost annually competitive in the prewar years and during World War II. Read even more about Roy Hamey at Wikipedia
