“Miscellaneous News and Information”

Now that we are almost a month removed from our final game of the season, I wanted to mention some very exciting happenings around the Goldeyes office. So, here it goes in no particular order.

• CFO Jason McRae-King and his wife Jen welcomed their third child on September 24, a little girl named Poet Liv Ellena. Poet’s sisters Meguire and Piper-Prairie are very excited about the new addition to their home.
• Goldeyes radio guy Paul Edmonds wed his beautiful bride Tanis on September 19. The wedding was a spectacular event held outside at their homestead, appropriately named the “Triple Play Ranch”.
• Former Goldeyes pitcher Matt Davis and his wife Jamie became parents for the first time with the arrival of Matthew Walter Davis on September 27.
• Shane Tucker, who served as the team’s Director of Retail Operations for just shy of two years, is returning to the MTS Centre to work in concert retail operations. Shane did a great job for the Goldeyes including bringing some fantastic new retail items to the Dugout Store at the ballpark. September 30 was Shane’s last day with the Goldeyes. Megan Tucker joined us on October 1 as our new Director of Retail Operations, welcome Megan!
• Bonnie Benson (front desk receptionist) and boyfriend Kevin are expecting a child due on Christmas Eve.
• Communications director Jonathan Green and wife Dayna moved into their brand new home on September 15 and will celebrate their first wedding anniversary on Thanksgiving Day, October 12.
• Box office manager Kevin Arnst and Beth Jackson were engaged on July 2 and will tie the knot on October 9, 2010.

Congratulations and good luck to all!

Finally, while this isn’t regarding a Goldeyes staff member, I would be remiss if I didn’t wish my brother Doug a very happy birthday today. Happy birthday Doug!
