He played major league baseball from 1971 to 1988 as 1st baseman for the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and the Atlanta Braves, appeared in the 1976, 1977 and 1978 World Series, and was selected in 1976 as an All-Star. He was the 1976 AL Rookie of the Year, and won the Gold Glove for fielding in 1978. In 1989, Chambliss became the manager for the Double-A London Tigers of the Eastern League, an affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The London Tigers won the Eastern League title in 1990, playing out of Labatt Park. That same year Chambliss was named Minor League Manager of the Year by The Sporting News. Chambliss was also a hitting coach with the Yankees, and has the distinction of being one of two men who have worn a Yankee uniform (player or coach) during each of the Yankees' last six World Series Championship seasons (1977, 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000) -- the other is former New York Mets manager Willie Randolph. He was also the hitting coach for the New York Mets. Chambliss worked as hitting coach of the Cincinnati Reds, until he was fired on October 11, 2006. He is currently the manager of the Triple A Charlotte Knights. SKU: L14769
