Rick Brenner President & General Manager

Rick Brenner

The 2012 season will represent Rick's 19th season in Minor League Baseball, his sixth as President and General Manager of the Fisher Cats and seventh as President of DSF Sports, the parent company for the Fisher Cats and the Bowling Green (KY) Hot Rods, Class A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays.

As an executive in Minor League Baseball, Brenner has led his respective organizations to many prestigious awards throughout his career, most recently as the winner of the the Larry MacPhail Award as the nation's best in promotional effort with the Fisher Cats in 2010. Previous honors include Baseball America's Double-A Bob Freitas Award with the Fisher Cats in 2009 and the 'Best Sporting Event to Take Clients To' in the New Hampshire Business Review's Best of Business Awards for four consecutive seasons. Rick previously led the Trenton Thunder to a pair of notable honors: the John H. Johnson President's Trophy as the nation's best baseball franchise in 2005 and the Larry MacPhail Award in 2003.

His organizational accolades have led Rick to several individual honors. In 2009, he was named the Baseball Executive of the Year by Ballpark Digest. He has been named Eastern League Executive of the Year twice, including 2008 with the Fisher Cats.

Rick's leadership has developed the Fisher Cats into one of the top drawing teams in the Eastern League. In 2011, the Fisher Cats posted an official attendance that exceeded 373,000 during the regular season, including a single-season record of 21 standing-room only crowds. Including the 2011 Eastern League All-Star game, four playoff home games, and additional non-game day events, more than 420,000 attended Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

The Hot Rods have earned special distinction during their first three seasons. The team was voted 'Best of Bowling Green' as the 'Best Place for a Date' and 'Best Place for a Family Outing' in the Bowling Green Daily News' year-end awards. Through three seasons, the Hot Rods have drawn nearly 750,000 fans, setting a new single-season official attendance of 237,070 in 2011.

Under Rick's direction both the Fisher Cats and the Hot Rods have developed a strong philanthropic reputation in their respective communities. The Fisher Cats and the Fisher Cats Foundation have raised more than $1,84 million for regional non-profit groups, headlined by the annual Granite State Baseball Dinner, which generated $155,680.15 for charity in 2011. In three seasons, the Hot Rods have already contributed more than $200,000 in cash, goods, and services to charitable organizations in South Central Kentucky.

Rick is an active member in the community and Minor League Baseball. He serves on the boards of the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce as well as board of the Double-A Eastern League and Class A Midwest League.

Brenner, who is a graduate of Plymouth State University, resides in New Hampshire with his wife, Jenn, and their two children.
