Mitt Romney’s son was briefly a Dodgers executive ‘who was just in way over his head’
Back in 2005, when they were owned by the McCourts, the Dodgers needed a new chief marketing officer and decided to hire then-Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s oldest son, Tagg Romney.
Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles Times writes that Tagg Romney ‘was woefully unqualified to be a baseball team’s marketing executive’ and ‘his one claim to previous sports marketing was at Reebok, where he was something called vice president for on-field marketing … his primary responsibility was to watch NFL and NBA games, counting how many times Reebok was mentioned or its logo caught on camera.’
Around a year later he left the job to join his father’s first presidential campaign and Dodgers sources told Dilbeck that Romney was a ‘very nice guy who was just in way over his head’ and a ‘vacuous-eyed, transparent political appointment.’
