柯尼勒斯‧亞歷山大‧麥克吉利庫狄 (Cornelius
Alexander McGillicuddy) 於1862年12月22日出生了
麥克將他的球隊取名為「運動家」 (Athletics) ，並且擔任該隊經理長達50年之久。大家都稱呼他為麥克先生。記者們很容易就可以拍到麥克站在長凳子上的照片。他總是穿著正式的西裝。他從來都不曾穿過球隊的制服，另外，除非賽前會議室在俱樂部舉行，否則他也很少到俱樂部玩樂，這是他在進入大聯盟前就養成的習慣了。他習慣在場上用揮舞計分卡的方式來調度球員，因此也讓他贏得了「場上的第十位球員」。不管他的特殊風格為何，康尼‧麥克就是有創造一支冠軍隊伍的能力。
Mack renamed his team the Athletics and remained the manager and owner for 50 years. Mr. Mack, as he was respectfully referred to, was easy to spot on the bench (and in this photograph). He was the man in the business suit. He never wore a uniform and rarely went into the clubhouse, except for a pre-game meeting, a practice he began in the major leagues. His habit of directing his players on the field by waving his scorecard earned him the title "10th Man on the Field." Whatever his particular style, Connie Mack had a knack for creating a winning team.
