job during the late 1960s. In his final trade, he acquired another future Hall of Fame pitcher, Steve Carlton, from the Cardinals on February 25, 1972. However, the Phillies' continued struggles on the field during the season led to Quinn's replacement as GM by Paul Owens, the club's farm system and scouting director, on June 3. Family Quinn represented the second generation in his family's four-generation participation in baseball management. His son Bob was a longtime executive in the game who served as general manager of the Yankees, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants; another son, Jack, was the owner and general manager of the Hawaii Islanders of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League and also served as GM of the St. Louis Blues franchise in the National Hockey League. His daughter Margo married longtime baseball executive Roland Hemond. His granddaughter, Kay Quinn, is currently an anchor for KSDK in St. Louis. And a grandson, also named Bob, is the former executive vice president, finance and administration, of the Milwaukee Brewers. John J. Quinn briefly scouted for the Houston Astros after he left Philadelphia. He died at age 68 in Stanton, California, on September 20, 1976.
