Rick Brenner is calling it a career. The long-time baseball executive and president of the New Hampshire Fisher Cats - the Blue Jays Double-A affiliate, has decided to retire from the position.
Brenner, a two-time Eastern League executive of the year, is leaving to focus on his teaching career at Plymouth University, which happens to be his Alma Mater. His last day with the organization will be May 1st.
Brenner's sports career has spanned 31 years. It began in 1994 with the Trenton Thunder, where he spent six years as Chief Operating Officer and General Manager. In 2003, the team won the Larry MacPhail Award, previously given to the top promotional effort by a Minor League team, and the John H. Johnson President's Trophy in 2005, which previously recognized one team in all MiLB for its franchise stability, success, and community involvement.
«I'm incredibly appreciative to the community of Manchester and New Hampshire, to my previous partners and coworkers and to our ownership group Diamond Baseball Holdings. They've all been wonderful, and I wish them nothing but the best.
Fisher Cats president Taylor Fisher, who joined the team in Janaury, will help fill some of Brenner's role.
Rick has been a critical pillar of our community for years, and his leadership has had an immense impact on the Fisher Cats and Manchester. Personally, I'm grateful for the guidance and support he has provided me since I joined the organization. Rick's dedication to both the team and community has set a high standard, and his influence will be felt for years to come.»
Best of luck in your future endeavours Rick.
