George Dallas Green (born August 4, 1934) is a former pitcher, manager, and executive in Major League Baseball. After playing for the Philadelphia Phillies and two other teams, he went on to manage the Phillies, the New York Yankees, and the New York Mets, and managed the Phillies when they won their first World Series title in 1980. Green had a losing record both as a pitcher and as a manager. Nonetheless, in 1983, he was inducted into the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame. He achieved notoriety for his blunt manner.
Green was born in Newport, Delaware. A 1952 graduate of Conrad High School his nickname was Spider. After attending the University of Delaware, he was signed by the Phillies as an amateur free agent by scout Jocko Collins.
As a manager, Green was known for his gruff manner. "I'm a screamer, a yeller and a cusser. I never hold back", he said. He was notorious for his use of profanity.
An example of the way that Green had of speaking to the press about ballplayers was his comment about Scott Rolen in 2001: "Scotty's satisfied with being a so-so player. I think he can be greater, but his personality won't let him." Rolen would be elected to the All-Star team seven times and win eight Gold Glove Awards.

City and Colour began performing in small intimate venues while Alexisonfire disappeared for some time.
During an interview at the 2008 NXNE festival with DJ Dave Bookman of Toronto's CFNY-FM, Green confirmed that he was indeed named after the famous major league pitcher/manager of the same name. He stated that, although he was born on September 29, 1980, he had gone without a name at first; his mother was considering naming him Graham-Todd Green, but his father had bet on Philadelphia Phillies during the 1980 World Series that October and, after the team won, his parents decided on the name Dallas after the Phillies' manager.
This is the one we were hoping for
She loves while he lies
She held his back all the way now her arms so tired
Why didn't he stay?
This is the one we were hoping for
He cries when she loves
He laughs his way down to when he'll realize
Then he will say
"say you weren't cool, say you weren't fine, say you weren't tough enough, strong enough for my love?"
"say you weren't cool, say you weren't fine, say you weren't tough enough; strong enough for my love"
This is the one we were hoping for
She dies when he lies
She held her eyes down as he walked on by
Well she said oh no
He cries, she lies
Then he dies
Say you weren't cool say you weren't fine, say you weren't tough enough, strong enough for my love
