  • Major League Soccer/Triple-A Baseball Task Force Report and Recommendations Background: Summary of Initial Proposal
    Major League Soccer/Triple-A Baseball Task Force Report and Recommendations March 2009 Background: For the past couple years, Major League Soccer (MLS) has been in an expansion mode. MLS returned to San Jose in 2008. Seattle was awarded the 15th team franchise in early 2008 and will begin play this year. Also in 2008, MLS awarded the 16 th franchise to Chester, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. The Chester team will start play in 2010. In the spring of 2008, MLS announced that it intended to take proposals for two additional expansion franchises which would begin play in 2011. Merritt Paulson, the owner of the Portland Timbers and Portland Beavers, approached the City and indicated he wanted to submit a proposal to MLS for one of the available expansion franchises. The franchise fee paid to MLS for an expansion team has increased dramatically during the recent expansion period. The Toronto team began play in 2007 and paid a fee of $10 million. The next year, the San Jose team began play and paid a fee of $20 million. In 2008, Seattle and Chester paid $30 million for their expansion teams. The announced fee for the two franchises to be awarded in 2009 is $40 million. Shortstop LLC is the name of the business entity formed by Mr. Paulson for the operation of the teams. The current Portland Timbers are a First Division team in the United Soccer League. This league shares an affiliation with Major League Soccer (MLS) and with the international soccer governing body FIFA. MLS is the highest level of competitive soccer played in the United States.

  • 2020 International League Field Managers Eight Il Clubs to Be Led by New Skippers This Season
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 11, 2020 2020 INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE FIELD MANAGERS EIGHT IL CLUBS TO BE LED BY NEW SKIPPERS THIS SEASON When the International League's 137th season opens on April 9, eight of the circuit’s fourteen teams will have a new manager leading the quest to capture the coveted Governors’ Cup trophy. Only six managers return from the 2019 season, although several of the League’s new field generals bring pre-existing ties to their teams and communities. It is the first time since 2006 that more than half of the circuit’s clubs changed managers during an offseason. The reining IL Manager of the Year Damon Berryhill is the International League’s longest- tenured manager, preparing to begin his fourth season at the helm of the Gwinnett Stripers. Also hoping to get his team back to the postseason is Brady Williams, who took Durham to the finals in his first year with the Bulls in 2019. They will be challenged in the South Division by another returning manager in Norfolk, Gary Kendall. The 2018 IL Manager of the Year, Lehigh Valley’s Gary Jones, will lead the IronPigs once again this season. Like Jones, Brian Esposito in Indianapolis is also at the helm for the third straight campaign. IL Hall of Famer Billy McMillon will manage the Red Sox for the franchise’s final season at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket. Two men have found themselves moving from a coach’s role to the manager’s chair in 2020. Pennsylvania-native Doug Davis (former Syracuse manager) takes over in Scranton/Wilkes- Barre after three seasons coaching, while in Columbus, Ohio-native Andy Tracy is the new manager after helping lead the Clippers to the 2019 Governors’ Cup title as hitting coach.

  • VP Direction Meeting, Sept 22/23
    Job Title: Group Sales Coordinator HOW TO BECOME A SUPERSTAR To become a superstar with teams, you need to first know that it all starts with tickets. Tickets are the lifeblood of sports. Once you learn tickets—truly learn how to market tickets--then it’s on to sponsorships. Learn both, and you’ve got the right ticket to run teams. There are two types of tickets we sell: season ticket plans and group tickets. We sell both and we put a lot of time and energy into selling both. We don’t give you the Yellow Pages and tell you to go sell. Our philosophy is train, train, train, and when we get tired of that, we train some more. Our goal is to accelerate your growth as fast as we can. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING We sell group tickets a lot different than most other teams. Most teams will start selling groups in April or May when the season starts and the boss says to stop selling season tickets and try to sell groups. They’ll get a few birthday parties and the local Kiwanis Club to come out, but not much more. We sell group tickets twelve months out of the year. We build our database from October through December. By the time we send out our catalog, our database will be 20,000 names of good group leaders and prospects. That is a list of gold when it comes to selling group tickets. You’ll be part of the most aggressive group sales force in all of minor league baseball selling group tickets to businesses, schools, churches, youth leagues, and anyone else we can think of.
