Graziano addresses business issues affecting the great American pastime, including the outlook of sports in today's climate, managing negotiations, and the financial pressure for profitability.

The 2003 season marks Bob Graziano’s 18th with the Los Angeles Dodgers and his sixth as the Club’s President.

He was named to his current post in 1998, becoming the 11th President in franchise history. Graziano has built a tremendous reputation in Los Angeles due to his community involvement and civic leadership. He was instrumental in the development of the Dodgers Dream Foundation, a non-profit benefactor that contributes funds to local educational and recreational organizations.

Graziano has been responsible for the overall day-to-day functioning of the business side of the organization since being appointed Executive Vice President in 1997. In addition to his expressed commitment to providing talent at the major league level, he has been dedicated to constant improvement in scouting and minor league development.

After earning summa cum laude honors and a Business Administration degree from USC in 1980, he joined Ernst & Young as a certified public accountant. In 1984, he worked for the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee in ticket operations.
