What Did You Want to be When You Grew Up?

July 11th 2006

Have you thought back recently to when you were a child and you told your parents, brothers, sisters and friends what you wanted to be when you grew up?

Was it a fireman, nurse, doctor, or lawyer?

I guess those are some of the more popular professions kids dream about. For me, though, it was very clear…s professional athlete. But, it was also very clear early on that this was clearly one dream that wouldn’t be coming true for me to experience.

If I knew then what I know now about working in the sports business, what I do now may have been my dream many years ago.

Mud Hens Give Fans Championship Rings

April 6th 2006

With the recent Men’s and Women’s NCAA Basketball Championships, I found it interesting to read about how the Toledo Mud Hens – a great nickname for a triple-A baseball team - will celebrate its 2005 championship this week when they open the 2006 season tonight.

You can read here about all the details on how 2,000 fans will randomly receive their very own replica championship rings on Fri, Apr 7, and how 5,000 children will receive Championship Moments card strips on Sun, Apr 9, and a pair of Hens – well, not really “Hens,” but Hens “players” – will sign autographs before the game.

Additionally, all fans in attendance at tonight’s Mud Hens home opener will see the team raise the Governor’s Cup Banner, and have the opportunity to see the Governor’s Cup on display at the game.

What other activities would you recommend for a championship week celebration for any team sport?
