    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Geoff Safford July 7, 2018 (707) 508-5021 Mendez Signs Contract With Pirates Organization Mendez becomes first member of Silverados to be promoted to affiliated baseball Napa, CA – The Napa Silverados are pleased to announce that reliever Deivy Mendez has signed a contract to join the Pittsburgh Pirates Organization. The hard-throwing right hander becomes the first Silverado to be promoted to affiliated baseball after a successful stint with Napa. The native of the Dominican Republic makes his way back to affiliated ball after spending the last six seasons in the minors. San Rafael Pacifics Pitcher Max Beatty was the Pacific Association’s last affiliated promotion in 2017. Assistant General Manager Megan Castellucci shared the excitement of many in the Silverados organization after hearing the news of the promotion of Mendez. “This is such an exciting day for the Silverados,” Castellucci said. “This is a very special moment for Deivy Mendez, the Silverados Organization, and the Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs. We wish him nothing but success with the Pirates Organization.” Mendez was completely dominant in his last five outings with the Silverados out of the bullpen. The flame-thrower allowed no runs, and two hits over his last eight innings pitched with 19 strikeouts. Mendez struck out the side in five of the last eight innings that he pitched. He finished with 23 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings total. Manager Tito Fuentes Jr. thought Mendez did a great job of using the Pacific Association as a Platform to prove he could perform at a high level.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Minor League Baseball: The Pacific Association and Community Engagement Abstract Attendance at all levels of baseball is the lowest it has been in 15 years (Kessler, 2018). And with decreasing levels of and social capital, communities are losing trust and civic engagement (Putnam, 2000). Sports teams foster higher levels of trust within their communities (Walker & Kent, 2009). Corporate Social Responsibility provides a way to foster this trust through activities led by sports teams in a community. This includes players visiting schools, libraries, or hosting camps and clinics. This makes Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) much more effective with the inclusion of sports teams (Walker & Kent, 2009). Previous studies addressed the different strategies of CSR related to sport (Babiak & Wolfe, 2009) and how factors besides CSR can influence attendance at sporting events (Horowitz, 2007). This thesis examined to what extent employing CSR helps minor-league baseball teams attract support.
