Ed Doherty (baseball executive)
Edward Sylvester Doherty, Jr. (ca. 1900 – July 8, 1971) was an American front office executive in minor league and Major League Baseball. He served as the first general manager in the history of the second Washington Senators franchise (now the Texas Rangers), from the expansion team's formation following the 1960 season through the end of the 1962 campaign.
==Minor league executive==
Doherty had spent the previous 7½ seasons as president of one of the three Triple-A minor leagues of the day, the American Association. Doherty's early career included a stint in the front office of the Boston Red Sox as publicity director〔Spink, J.G. Taylor, ed., ''The Official Baseball Guide.'' St. Louis: The Sporting News, 1947〕 and six seasons (1947–52) as president of Boston farm teams—the Scranton Red Sox of the Class A Eastern League and the Louisville Colonels of the American Association. After assuming the league presidency, he led the Association through a tumultuous time during which it lost (or would lose) some of its most established cities (Milwaukee, Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. Paul—as well as new entry Houston) to Major League franchise shifts and planned expansion. He also faced a threat from a putative third Major League, the Continental League, that would have taken many of those same markets had it been born. With the loss of Milwaukee and Kansas City, and struggles in less successful venues (Toledo and Columbus), Doherty oversaw the Association's expansion into markets such as Charleston, Denver, Omaha, Wichita, Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth, during that period.
Doherty was one of the most vocal opponents of Major League Baseball expansion, leading the minor leagues' resistance to rumored plans at the 1959 baseball winter meetings.〔''The New York Times,'' November 29, 1959, page 37.〕 Ironically, Doherty would gain his Major League general manager job when the original Washington Senators franchise decamped for the American Association's Minneapolis and St. Paul territories after 1960 to become the Minnesota Twins, creating an opening for an expansion club in the U.S. capital.
