Mike Dunn (P with the New York
Yankees— Class AA) TESTIMONIAL
I could not ask more from Tom. He has been great as
an agent and a friend. From the first day I joined
Legends I have not been overlooked. I can’t say
thanks enough for what Tom and everybody else has
done for me.

Kevin's Testimonial
I met Tom in September of 2004 and ever since I have
known him it has been great. He has bent over
backwards for me and I really enjoy being a client.
Not just a client, but a true friend.
Tim's Testimonial
My name is Tim Redding, I have been with Tom
O'Connell and the Legends Management Group for 8
years. Every year seems to get better and better,
the personal attention that you receive is bar none
to any other agency out there. I have had teammates
tell me that their agent(s) doesn't see them
perosnaly as much as they would like. Tom is always
just a phone call away. The gang here at LMG is all
about the client (player). I was one of the first
clients that Tom O'Connell signed and brought to the
LMG family. I use the word "family" because that's
the attitude of the staff. They want you to feel at
home when you are with them. When my playing days
are over, I plan to join the offices of LMG to help
give back as much as I have received. So please,
when you are looking for representation, give LMG
and Tom O'Connell your utmost attention because
nobody can beat what they have to offer.
Nick's
Testimonial
My name is Nick Green, second baseman for the New
York Yankees. I have been a client of Tom
O’Connell and Legends Management Group since 1999.
The growth of Tom as an agent and of the company as
a whole, has been remarkable! Tom has built LMG
from the ground up, and has become a very well
respected agent throughout baseball. If there is
anything Tom can help me with, whether it’s my
career or my life, he is going to give it 100%.
Thanks to Tom’s hard work and constant
encouragement, there is nothing that seems
unattainable for me with my career. I can’t imagine
another agency making me as happy as I am with LMG!
The relationship I’ve built with Tom is
unexplainable. We have developed a personal
relationship that I think is important when picking
an agent. I know he is going to work hard for me,
because he cares about me as a person and wants
what’s best for me and my career. I am extremely
confident in his abilities as my agent, because of
his hardworking nature. He treats all of his
players the same and that is something that isn’t
always guaranteed in this business. Tom treated me
no different when I went through some hard times
early in my career, than he does today! He believes
in every player he represents. I am very
appreciative of the fact that Tom wanted to
represent me as a client and couldn’t imagine where
I might be had I not signed on with LMG six years
ago. I don’t think a player thinking of joining the
LMG family would be the least bit disappointed!!
Brad's Testimonial
"Super agent" Tom
O'Connell has more to offer in this business than
anyone I've come in contact with.
After wasting a year
full of empty promises made by a lesser agent, I was
approached by Tom and have been reaping the benefits
of his services ever since.
If you value honesty
and want representation that's always on point, then
T.O.C. is your man.
Juan's Testimonial
First of all, I want to take this opportunity to
thank the legends management family for welcoming me
to their company. My
name is Juan Padilla and I am aright handed reliever
for the New York Mets. I first meet Tom in NY while
playing for the Yankees. I
already had an agent but I was unhappy with their
lack of attention and support. I decided I had
nothing to lose by listening to Tom. After a few
weeks of talking to Tom and asking questions about
LMG, I decided to give them the opportunity to
represent me.
Since I have signed with Tom in 2004, he has been
there for everything I have needed. He has connected
me with so many different people that have, in one
way or another, enhanced my career on and off the
field.
Any agent can take care of your equipment needs, but
Tom is there for you anytime, for any reason. I look
forward to being a member of LMG family for many
years to come.
Mark's Testimonial
I've been with Tom for 3 years. I had a different agent
for the draft who I thought knew what he was doing.
I didn't really realize it at the time, but that guy
cost me $30,000 to $50,000 on my signing bonus. All
along I thought this guy was as good as it gets
until I met Tom. I met Tom while he was trying to
sign my AA roommate, and after hearing what he could
do for a career and the connection he had, I
realized that my current agent was worthless. Over
the past 3 years Tom has gone to any length to give
me the best opportunity to progress in my career and
in 2003 I debuted in the big leagues. Hopefully with
Legend Management's help there will be many more
successful years to come.
Evan's Testimonial
Tommy and Legends Management Group have gone above
and beyond for me. No other agency out there
can, or does, give the personal attention and time
to their clients. At any time, day or night, I
can always get a hold of Tommy. I was 100%
sure that when I signed with Tommy it was the best
decision I could have ever made when choosing an
agent.
Justin's
Testimonial
Where to start? First
of all, I would like to thank Tom O' Connell for
allowing me the opportunity to be apart of such a
first rate partnership. Tom and I have been in
contact since the fall of 1999, my Junior year at
Rollins College. He instilled his faith in me
at that point and his confidence in my ability has
yet to waver. Tommy is much more than just and
agent in the professional sense, he is an honest and
trustworthy friend. My experience with
Legends has been exceptional. They treat every
client, whether in rookie ball or the big leagues,
with same respect and undying attention. Tom
O' Connell is the hardest working agent I have ever
met and he expects the same out of his clients.
That is why Legends continues to blossom as
one of the most exciting agencies out there.
The future is bright for everyone involved with
Legends and we are all excited to be apart of it.
Jim's Testimonial
First time I met Tom was when I was in the Florida
State League. We were in Tampa playing the
Yankees and he was sitting in front of me kind of
dresses up and looking at stats on both teams.
He talked to me for 5 or 6 innings before he told me
he was an agent. He asked if I had an agent
and I laughed because I never been asked if I wanted
one before. I never thought I needed one.
That night he took a couple of guys to diner
including me, we had a great time and about two
weeks later I signed with him. I was always
nervous about signing but I took a chance on Tom as
he did on me. To the day Tom is still my agent
and hopefully will always be. Tom has always
been a phone call away and is more a friend than an
agent doing his job. I'm glad I met Tom not
only as an agent but as a person and a friend.
Tom thanks for everything.
Kurt's Testimonial
What can you say about Tommy except that he's the
man. There isn't much that this guy wouldn't
do for you. He's been there for me more ways
than one. As an agent, as a guy to turn to for
advice, and as a man who respects you just as much
as any other person out there. But more than
all of these things, he's been a great friend.
And not too many players in this game could say the
same about their agent. So if you have any
doubts about the man, just wipe them all away cause
you will not find a better agent in the game.
Steve's Testimonial
LMG is a top-of-the-line
agency which I have been privileged to be a part of.
I thank the whole LMG team for their hard work and
dedication to their clients. Tom O'Connell has
proven to be as hard working an agent as there is in
the game. I can't thank him enough for all his
efforts on my behalf. I look forward to many strong
years ahead in the future! Thanks again!
Jack's
Testimonial
We do business with many of the agents in
professional baseball both large companies and
individuals on a daily basis. We can say that
there are few agents, in our experience, that do
more for their developing players than Tom
O'Connell. He is a hands on player's
negotiator, friend, mentor, supporter and
facilitator. He is selective in his commitment
to players but once they have his support, it is
truly a significant factor in their rise
through the organizational systems. There may
be better publicized agents, there may be more
famous agents but there are no harder working,
competent and committed agents than Tom O'Connell.
He has the qualities that many profess to have but
few actually possess.
Rob's
Testimonial
Tom O'Connell is one of the most respected agents in
baseball. He has redefined the position to
take advantage of his leadership and mentorship
abilities uncommon to the traditional role of an
agent. Doing business with Tom has never
produced anything but positive results in an
extremely competitive arena. He is a true
professional and would be an asset to any client.
