Joining Pitt’s baseball team as a freshman walk-on in 1968, Macha went on to become one of the program’s most accomplished players. In 1971, he ranked among the nation’s leaders in batting average, RBI and slugging percentage. As a senior captain in 1972, Macha continued to produce at a national level and was a Sporting News Honorable Mention All-American. Selected in the sixth round of the 1972 draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates, he played six Major League seasons. Macha spent three campaigns with the Pirates (1974, 1977-78), two with the Montreal Expos (1979-80) and one with the Toronto Blue Jays (1981). He batted .256 for his MLB career. From 1982-85, he played professionally in Japan, batting .304 with 82 home runs. Macha then transitioned to coaching, serving on the staff of the Expos (1986-91) and California Angels (1992-94) before joining the Oakland A’s in 1998. Macha ascended to manager of the A’s from 2003-06 and later skippered the Milwaukee Brewers (2009-10). He compiled a 525-447 regular-season record and led the A’s to division titles in 2003 and 2006.
