  • Frank F. Boulton '69
    Frank F. Boulton '69 Frank Boulton was born on Long Island and moved to the Bay Shore/Brightwaters area at the age of three. He graduated in 1969 from Bay Shore High School where he was an outstanding student-athlete. He attended Villanova University and graduated in 1972 with a B.S. in Finance. Following graduation he started a 23-year career on Wall Street in the U.S. Treasury and Mortgage backed bond industry. He retired from Smith Barney in 1994, as Senior Managing Director of the Government Bond Department. He returned to Wall Street in 1996 to serve as the Senior Executive Vice President in charge of the Fixed Income Department for Yamaichi America, and served in this capacity until 1999. Always an avid baseball fan, Frank owned three farm teams, two affiliated with the New York Yankees, the other with the Kansas City Royals. However, his real dream was to bring minor league baseball to Long Island and, after formidable challenges, the Long Island Ducks made their debut in 2000 with Frank as principal owner. In six years, more than two and a half million people have enjoyed minor league baseball on Long Island because of Frank's initiative. He is also founder and chairman of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, principal owner of the Long Island Rough Riders soccer team, and has served as President of the Prince William Canons Professional Baseball Club, Chairman of the Board of Harrelson Sport Group, Inc., Co-Chairman of the Albany Colony Yankees, and Vice President of the Eastern League of Professional Baseball.
