John Francis "Frank" Cashen (September 13, 1925 – June 30, 2014) was a Major League Baseball general manager. He was an executive when the Baltimore Orioles won the 1966 World Series, and 1970 World Series while winning three consecutive AL pennants from 1969 to 1971. Later he became General Manager of the New York Mets from 1980 to 1991, and the club won the 1986 World Series during his tenure.
Cashen was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1925 and grew up admiring and playing baseball. He played second base at Loyola College in Maryland but was unable to hit well and did not pursue a playing career. Instead, he joined the Baltimore News-American becoming an award-winning sportswriter over 17 years at the newspaper. He spent nights at University of Maryland School of Law, graduating with a JD in 1958. He assumed his career would either be in journalism or law. Instead, he was hired by Jerry Hoffberger to be a publicity director for two Baltimore race tracks and later the advertising head at Hoffberger's National Brewing Company. In 1965, Hoffberger's brewing company purchased the Baltimore Orioles and Cashen eagerly accepted the position of executive vice president of the team.
We don? t have to talk
If it makes you cry
I can? t help but notice
You could use a friend
It? s a story of a boy who tried to be a man
Cruel heart
You won again
Cruel heart
You won again
We still need to hold you
We still need to show you
Cruel heart
You won again
Cruel heart
You won again
It? s not easy to undo
The tragedy that? s life
We can do nothing alone
But she always wants to fight
It? s a story of a girl but where do we begin
Cruel heart
You won again
Cruel heart
You won again
We still need to hold you
We still need to show you
