We were all told that if we wanted to get our foot in the door, sales is the way to go. Nope. Selling is the way to go for salespeople. Media is the way to go for media people. Marketing is the way to go for marketing people. Make sense?
This isn’t the job for someone who simply wants to be in sports. This is the job for the person who is driven to be the best, wants to learn how to be great, and wants to be the next president of a team.
The Sacramento River Cats (Triple-A, San Francisco Giants) have dominated the landscape of Minor League Baseball since their inception in 2000. Not only are the River Cats at the top of the attendance race every year, but they are also coming off of an unprecedented 12th PCL Division Title in 20 years and boast 2 back-to-back PCL Championships (2003-2004, 2007-2008). In 2019, the River Cats won a record-setting third Triple-A Championship (2007, 2008, 2019). Most of any organization.
And this is where you come in.
