Robert Franciscus Eenhoorn (born February 9, 1968) is a Dutch former professional baseball player and manager. He played four seasons of Major League Baseball as a utility infielder for the New York Yankees and California/Anaheim Angels. On September 27, 1997,[1] Eenhoorn became the first Dutch-born player to hit a home run in the Major Leagues since Jack Lelivelt in 1912.[2][3] The feat was later repeated by Greg Halman and Didi Gregorius. All other Dutch MLB players to have hit home runs were born elsewhere, mainly in the country's Caribbean territories, most notably the Curaçao natives Andruw Jones and Hensley Meulens.
From 2009 to 2014 Eenhoorn served as the technical director for the Netherlands national baseball team.
Since 2014, Eenhoorn has been the general director of the Dutch football club AZ Alkmaar.[4] In March 2015, he hired another former Major Leaguer, Billy Beane, as an advisor.[5]
