Bill Smith '80 has been named general manager of the Minnesota Twins. An article in the St. Paul Pioneer Press (9/13/07), titled "Smith steps out from Ryan's shadow," notes that "Smith got his first glimpse into baseball management in 1979, when he was a student at Hamilton College in upstate New York. That year Major League Baseball's winter meetings were held in Toronto, so Smith bought a bus ticket and traveled there." Smith joined the Twins in 1986 as assistant director of minor leagues and scouting and, in 1994, he was named assistant general manager.
