"We're very fortunate to be able to add four quality people to our staff. We got to know Glyn throughout the season and he proved to be an exceptional game day employee for us. We're excited to have him join us full time. Ivy comes to us from outside professional sports, but her track record in sales speaks for itself and we're sure she'll thrive in her return to Michigan. Ashley brought incredible enthusiasm to the ballpark experience this past year and we're glad she's found the perfect fit interacting both with our clients and fans. Kimberly brings a wealth of experience to our radio operation. She will be a great asset for our entire organization."
