Grady Little Biography

Grady Little is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on March 30, 1950 in Abilene, Texas, United States. William Grady Little (born March 30 1950) was an ex-manager in Major League Baseball, currently in charge of an office in the back office at the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was manager of his team the Boston Red Sox from 2002 until 2003, and The Los Angeles Dodgers from 2006 until 2007. The team was part of the Kinston, North Carolina, Professional Baseball Hall of Fame in

2001. Charlotte Baseball Hall of Fame 1985, and was accepted into the Hagerstown Suns Hall of Fame on April 13, 2009.

From 1996 until 2001, Little was a coach between 1996 and 2001. He was a coach for Padres, Red Sox, and Indians.

However, the 2003 season (and Little’s entire tenure with the Red Sox) is mostly remembered for his controversial decision during Game 7 of the 2003 American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees. The Red Sox led the game 5–2 in the 8th inning, and were five outs away from reaching the World Series. Little visited the mound after starting pitcher Pedro Martínez gave up three straight hits, and a run from Derek Jeter, but he decided against taking out the ace pitcher, who had thrown 118 pitches to that point. The Yankees tied the game the next at-bat when Jorge Posada hit a two-run double, and went on to win the game (and the pennant) in the 11th inning off of a home run by Aaron Boone.

When Little’s contract was not renewed by the Red Sox, the independent minor league Brockton Rox announced plans to give away Grady Little bobble arm dolls to the first 1,000 fans to attend the May 29, 2004 game. The doll’s arm bounces to simulate a manager’s call to the bullpen, displays the date October 16, 2003 (the date of Game 7 of the ALCS) and Little’s win total from the 2002 and 2003 seasons. The plans were canceled when Little objected to his likeness being used. In an agreement with the Rox, Little permitted the dolls to be sold with the provision that the money raised from the sale would go “to the Professional Baseball Scouting Foundation, which provides relief to retired scouts in financial peril”. The initial selling price was $38.36 (two times $19.18, 1918 being the last time the Red Sox won the World Series) but later auctions of autographed versions sold for as high as $255.

The 1975-79 seasons, He stayed off baseball and became an agricultural worker.
