Attain Sports and Entertainment has rolled out a “Name the Team” promotion, inviting fans to pitch their concepts to name the newly formed Frederick Atlantic League Professional Baseball club.
The company has also added key leadership executives with industry veterans Chuck Domino, senior vice president of baseball operations, and Mary Nixon, executive director of baseball operations, joining its management team.
“We are thrilled to welcome Chuck and Mary to the leadership team and look forward to hearing directly from the fans as we name the new ALPB team with an identity that represents this unique and growing region,” said Attain Sports and Entertainment CEO and Managing General Partner Greg Baroni.
“Together, we are committed to fun and affordable, family-friendly entertainment that creates magical memories,” Baroni said. “We look forward to providing insanely great game-day fan experiences, expanding our commitment to community engagement, delivering amazing customer service, leveraging the use of purpose-driven practical innovation, and investing in the professional growth and development of our growing team of players, coaches, and front-office staff.”
Domino and Nixon will initially focus much of their efforts on the MLB Draft League the Frederick Keys and the yet-to-be-named Atlantic League baseball team also based in Frederick, Maryland. They will also provide their leadership to support the Baltimore Orioles Double-A affiliate the Bowie Baysox.
Fans can submit suggestions for the new team’s name, together with an explanation of the name’s significance, through Jan. 27. For more information and to submit a nomination, those interested can visit www.frederickatlanticleague.com.
