context_page_description: Gregory Lynn Legg, is an American professional baseball second baseman, who played in Major League Baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies, in two seasons. During his playing days, Legg stood 6 feet 1 inch, weighing 185 pounds.
  Legg spent a total of 13 seasons as an active player, all in the Philadelphia organization, later managing the Phillies' Minor League Baseball Double-A farm team, the Reading Phillies, for whom he had previously played.
  In 2009 and 2010, Legg was the hitting coach for the back-to-back South Atlantic League-champion Lakewood BlueClaws. He returned to Reading, as field manager of the Fightin Phils, for the 2017–2018 seasons. Legg joined the Lehigh Valley IronPigs’ coaching staff, for the 2019 season.
context_section_description: After leaving the Red Barons, Legg stayed with the Phillies franchise, moving to the Clearwater Phillies as their hitting coach for 1994 and 1995; the team finished with the Florida State League's best record in his second year. In 1996, Legg was inducted into the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Athletic Hall of Fame by his alma mater on January 27. He was the hitting coach for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons that season, when the team posted a 70–72 record.
  In 1997, Legg was given his first managing position, leading the Batavia Clippers to the New York–Penn League finals, where they lost to the Pittsfield Mets. He managed the Martinsville Phillies in 1998, and returned to Batavia in 1999, where the newly renamed Muckdogs lost in the semi-finals. He led the Piedmont Boll Weevils to another semi-final defeat in 2000, and was named the Lakewood BlueClaws' inaugural manager in 2001.
  In 2002, the Reading Phillies named Legg their manager, and he accumulated a 76–66 record in his first season. It was his only winning record, however, in three seasons as the team's manager; his 202 wins are the fifth-best total among Reading's managers. For the 2005 season, Legg moved to Clearwater, with the team now known as the "Threshers", taking over the manager's duties from Mike Schmidt. In two seasons with Clearwater, he improved the team from a .301 winning percentage (41–95) to .482 (67–72), and he proceeded to the Williamsport Crosscutters for the 2007 season.
  For the 2008 season, Legg returned to Lakewood as the hitting coach, helping the BlueClaws to an 80–60 record. In July 2008, during the Beijing Olympics, Legg served on the staff of the major league club as a short-term replacement as bullpen coach for Roly de Armas, who was on the staff of Team USA. In 2009 and 2010, Legg and the BlueClaws staff led the team to back-to-back South Atlantic League championships.
