The O’Malley’s Part 2 – Peter

Peter O’Malley was born on the 12th of December 1937 in Brooklyn, New York. We all know who his parents were. He spent his childhood as a child of privilege. His dad’s success allowing the family comforts many of the citizens did not enjoy due to the depression.

He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. And then from the Wharton School of Business in 1960. Peter’s first job with the Dodgers was Director of Dodgertown in Vero Beach. He was named to that position in 1962. Walter basically wanted Peter to work his way up. He was not just going to bring him to the top of the tree.
