Well now, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ ’bout this Jim Small feller, lemme tell ya, he’s quite the big shot in baseball. You might not have heard of him, but he’s been around for quite a long time, climbin’ up the ladder and makin’ a name for himself in the big leagues. From what I know, Jim Small ain’t just any ol’ fellow—he’s a senior vice president at Major League Baseball (MLB), and he’s been workin’ in the international part of things for many years. A real important job, I tell ya!
Jim Small, his full name is James Arthur Small, was born back in 1937, March 8th, in a place called Portland. Now, that makes him a pretty seasoned fella—been around a long time, seen a lot. And he’s one of them who really knows how to get things done in the baseball world, especially when it comes to MLB and their operations outside the good ol’ U.S. of A.
For 15 years, Jim was the head honcho of MLB’s Asia Pacific region. Now, that’s a mighty long time to be in charge of such a big area, and I reckon he done a mighty good job too. Under his watch, MLB made a lot of headway in Asia. He was the one makin’ sure all them baseball leagues, players, and fans across Asia were properly looked after, and there’s no doubt he had a big hand in growin’ the game over there.
So, after all them years doin’ a great job in Asia, they went and promoted Jim Small to Senior Vice President of International Business at MLB. That means he’s the one who’s helpin’ Major League Baseball grow and expand all over the world. Sounds like a big job, don’t it? Well, it sure is! He’s got a whole lotta responsibility on his shoulders, makin’ sure MLB keeps its international business runnin’ smooth. And with all that experience behind him, it’s no wonder they gave him such an important position.
What’s even more interesting is that, after all these years, Jim Small’s movin’ back to New York, where it all started for him. I reckon that’s where his heart is, right in the big city. But even though he’s goin’ back to New York, it’s clear that his work with MLB ain’t done yet. He’s still got a lot of business to handle all around the world.
So, who is this Jim Small guy? Well, he’s a feller who’s been makin’ moves in the baseball world for decades. He started out a long time ago, just like most folks do, and now he’s sittin’ at the top of the heap, helpin’ MLB expand its reach worldwide. He’s worked his tail off, and now he’s reaping the rewards. If you ever find yourself wonderin’ how baseball got so big around the world, you might wanna look at folks like Jim Small, who’ve been workin’ hard behind the scenes to make sure the game grows.
All in all, Jim Small ain’t just some feller you forget about. He’s one of them important folks in the MLB, doin’ his part to make sure the game stays big, not just here, but all over the world. You might not hear his name every day, but I reckon he’s done a whole lot more for the sport than most folks even realize.
