After Schieffer left the team, President Bush appointed him Ambassador to Austrailia in 2001, where he served until 2005, when he became the U.S. Ambassador to Japan.

“I commend Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig’s appointment of Thomas Schieffer as the monitor of the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, who has been critical of the current Dodger leadership.

“With his experience and leadership as a public servant and former president of the Texas Rangers, Thomas Schieffer will be a transformative figure in restoring the traditional Dodger legacy of integrity and providing a family-friendly environment that will be a welcome development for Dodger fans across Los Angeles County,” Antonovich concluded.
