Guest: Ellen Harrigan, current Los Angeles Dodgers VP of baseball administration and Blue Jays front office member from 1981-1995. This week, we’re joined by Ellen Harrigan, who is about to begin her 45th season working in baseball. She started out with the Blue Jays in Exhibition Stadium in 1981, as part of a skeleton-crew front office, and will receive her fourth career World Series ring next month (Blue Jays 1992-93, Dodgers 2020, 2024). Harrigan shares her story, from the quirky way she landed that first job with the Jays out of high school, to working for the modern-day Dodgers of Betts, Ohtani, Freeman and Sasaki. She was the first woman ever to be the general manager of a professional baseball team and has been a mentor, teacher and pioneer for women in baseball for decades.
