George Dallas Green (1934 – 2017) American professional baseball pitcher, manager, scout and executive in Major League Baseball. He played for the Philadelphia Phillies, Washington Senators and New York Mets, from 1960 through 1967.
After the 1988 season, the New York Yankees fired manager Lou Piniella, replacing him with Green. The 1988 team had finished nine games over .500, but fell to nine games under .500 during Green's tenure. Green insulted Steinbrenner by referring to him as "Manager George" for his meddling with the team. Steinbrenner fired Green, in August 1989.
