Glen Rosenbaum
Glen Otis Rosenbaum (born June 14, 1936) is an American former professional baseball player, coach, and front-office official who spent four decades as a member of the Chicago White Sox organization.[1] He was born in Union Mills, Indiana.
A 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m), 180 lb (82 kg) right-handed pitcher in his playing days, he had an 11-season (1955–1965) active career in the ChiSox' farm system, winning 95 of 140 decisions (.679)[2] but never reaching the Major League level.
In 1968, he became the team's batting practice pitcher, and was promoted to a full-time coaching position on manager Chuck Tanner's staff on August 14, 1973,[3] serving through 1975.[4] After serving strictly as a batting practice pitcher for another ten seasons, Rosenbaum rejoined the White Sox' coaching staff in 1986, and was an aide to managers Jim Fregosi and Jeff Torborg through 1989.[4]
He then was the club's traveling secretary until his retirement after the 1998 season.[5]
