Known throughout the baseball community as the scout that can find the diamonds in the rough; Chris is best known for signing several independent players that have gone on to play in the Major Leagues. Chris had previous experiences as a scout with the Kansas City Royals, and Philadelphia Phillies. Chris’s professional career began as a player in the independent professional Leagues, with stops in the Big South League, and Northeast League. After his playing days had ended, he began coaching at the collegiate level with St. Johns University (Big East Conference), and Brewster Whitecaps (Cape Cod League). Chris’s professional managerial debut was in 2004, with the Bangor Lumberjacks of the Can-Am League. Chris has spent time at the helm of the Grays (Can-Am League), St. Joseph Blacksnakes (American Association), Atlantic City Surf (Can-Am), where he was awarded the Manager of the Year Award in 2007, and Brockton Rox (Can- Am League) in 2009-2010, where he led the team to its highest win total in club history, including back to back playoff appearances. In his professional managerial career Chris tallied a very successful .523 winning percentage. In 2006, Carminucci combined his on field managerial experience with being named Vice-President of Player Procurement for Ventura Sports Group, while also forming CSG Sports Consulting Company. Ventura enlisted Carminucci’s expertise to help build rosters for their teams that eventually included the Atlantic City Surf (Can- Am League), El Paso Diablos (American Association), Grand Prairie Airhogs (American Association), and Laredo Lemurs (American Association). Carminucci has served as President of the Atlantic City Surf in 2008, where he was instrumental in leading the Surf to its highest average attendance in league history. In 2009, Carminucci while performing his on field managerial duties was hired to oversee the off-the-field operations of the Brockton Rox Professional Baseball Club, and Shaw’s Convention Center as CEO and President. In 2010, Carminucci founded the Western Connecticut Baseball Academy, operated out of the Newton Youth Academy in Newton, Ct. In 2011, Chris was instrumental in the formation of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League of New England, a summer collegiate baseball league that began play in the summer of 2011. The league inaugural season consisted of four teams, Martha Vineyard Shark’s, Torrington (CT) Titans, Nashua Silver Knights, and Seacoast Mavericks. Chris served as CEO of both the Sharks and Titans that first year. While on the board of directors of the FCBL, a position he currently maintains, Chris helped orchestrate the league expansion to ten teams by its third year of operation. Chris’s love for teaching coaches about the game and instructing at baseball clinics and camps, has taken him all over the world. A native of Westchester County, N.Y., when away from the ballpark, Chris enjoys spending time with his wife, Lauren, and their daughters, Emma, Kate, and Elle. .

  • Chris Ames Created an Alter Ego Named the World Famous Monkey Boy
    Playing careers are not the only improbable dreams chased in the remote outposts of the minor leagues. In 1998, a young minor league salesman named Chris Ames created an alter ego named The World Famous Monkey Boy. The WFMB was a peanut hurling, Super Soaker toting, break-dancing dynamo in a tattered costume shop bear suit, held together by duct tape and re-purposed to an approximation of the simian form with a cheap plastic monkey mask. Ames developed the character largely through a series of happy accidents. His manic after-hours impersonation of a co-worker caught the attention of Ames’ boss, Billy Johnson, a former minor league mascot himself who was looking for a promotion to liven up the opening weekend debut of his new club, the Nashua Pride. Ames’ day job as the Pride’s ticket sales manager quickly brought him into contact with Ted Giannoulas (The San Diego Chicken) and Dave Raymond (The original Phillie Phanatic), two icons of character-based entertainment who swung through Nashua on their annual summer circuits of the minor leagues. By 2001, Ames was working in software sales, but was not finished with Monkey Boy. Using sick days and vacations, he booked himself as a touring act in minor league ballparks around the country, working up the nerve to dive-in full-time in the spring of 2003. In developing his business, Ames would face many of the same challenges as ballplayers toiling in the minor leagues, battling injuries and balancing his love of entertaining with the priorities of raising a family and making a living.

In a number of years in city government, I can’t say that I’ve ever seen or certainly a bigger crowd that we have tonight. I wanted to mention that we have a lot going on downtown. Just this past weekend, Positive Street Art put on their arts festival in French Park and Renaissance Park. We had the dinner on Main Street put on by Great American Downtown. Both were extremely well attended. Both had a lot of energy, and a lot of people, and a lot of enthusiasm. We also have a lot of residential conversions going on. We have the Franklin Street conversion with Brady Sullivan converting the former Nashua Corp. to 200 units of housing. Just today Brady Sullivan bought the next building on that row – 44 Franklin Street which has been owned by a group of local people for and with that acquired an additional 100 units of parking.
