Club Executives

Marv Goldklang Chairman For an organization to be successful it must start at the top, and Marv Goldklang’s work with the Charleston RiverDogs has been nothing less than sensational. Under his administration, the RiverDogs earned the 2013 Larry MacPhail Award, symbolizing “the top promotion effort in all of Minor League Baseball.” Goldklang has reached several long-time goals in baseball including the opening of Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park in 1997 and participating in five of the New York Yankees’ World Championship ceremonies as a part-owner. He has also seen his other minor league clubs thrive in St. Paul, Minn., Fort Myers, Fla.; and Hudson Valley, N.Y. He is a former Wall Street attorney and merchant banker. Marv and his wife, Sheila, have four children and reside in New Jersey.

Mike Veeck President As president of the RiverDogs and several other minor league clubs, Mike Veeck is synonymous with wholesome, family-oriented fun and success. All of his franchises, including the RiverDogs, have established attendance records in recent years; but more importantly, the organizations take great pride in their concern for their fans. In addition to his baseball interests, he operates Veeck Advertising Professionals in Charleston, authored the book “Fun is Good,” coordinates the Veeck Promotional Seminar, and teaches a course as a Visiting Professor in The Citadel’s Department of Health, Education, and Sport Science (HESS). Mike, his wife, Libby, and two children, William “Night Train” and Rebecca, reside in Mt. Pleasant.

Bill Murray Director of Fun

Far from an absentee owner, Bill Murray can be seen at “The Joe” on any given night. In recent years, he has caught and thrown out ceremonial first pitches and coached first base. In addition to the RiverDogs, Murray also holds co-ownership of the Goldklang Group’s teams. He is an accomplished actor and a graduate of “Saturday Night Live.” He has starred in such films as Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Meatballs, Stripes, Quick Change, Groundhog Day, What About Bob?, Rushmore, Charlie’s Angels, The Royal Tenenbaums, Lost in Translation and The Life Aquatic. In 2004, Murray won a Golden Globe for Best Actor and was nominated for an Academy Award in the same category for Lost in Translation.

Dr. Gene Budig Co-Owner

Dr. Gene A. Budig, past president of Major League Baseball’s American League, has been a partner of the Charleston RiverDogs for several years. Dr. Budig was a university president/chancellor for 22 years before assuming the top job in the American League (1994-1999). He headed Illinois State University, West Virginia University and the University of Kansas. He currently serves as a senior advisor to Major League Baseball, and is a retired major general in the Air National Guard/United States Air Force. He and his wife, Gretchen, live on the Isle of Palms.

Peter B. Freund Co-Owner Peter Freund is the President of Trinity Packaging Corporation, a privately held plastics manufacturer headquartered in Armonk, N.Y. He is the fourth generation in his family’s business, which began as a paper company in 1917. A lifelong baseball fan and New York Yankees season ticket holder, Peter is fulfilling his dream of ownership in professional baseball having signed on as a partner in the Charleston RiverDogs in 2009. He and his wife, Mimi, reside in Pound Ridge, N.Y. with their twin daughters, Winnie and Wren, and visit Charleston as often as they can.

Alton C. Phillips Co-Owner Al Phillips was born in Sumter, S.C. and has lived in Charleston since he was a child. Phillips earned a B.S. degree in Industrial

Management from Clemson in 1985. After obtaining his MBA from UNC in 1988, Phillips began work with Carolina Eastern, a

Charleston-based company that markets and distributes fertilizers. In 1995 Phillips became President of Carolina Eastern and

has continued to hold that office to this day. Phillips is active among the Charleston community, serving on the board of Porter-

Gaud School and Palmetto Agri-Business Council. In addition to serving in the community, Phillips has a minority partnership

interest in various baseball clubs. He is married to Kathryn Pearce Phillips with whom he has four children.

2013 Season in Review

Stars Shined In Charleston in 2013

Though Coming Up Short of a Postseason Berth, the RiverDogs Enjoyed Another Memorable Year

CHARLESTON, SC – Over the course of a 140 game season, every team is bound to have its ups and downs, and the

2013 season was no different for the Charleston RiverDogs. Fortunately for the RiverDogs and their fans, the ups seemed

to far outnumber the downs.

The season began on April 5 after a rain out in Greenville on April 4. In that series, the team went on to drop two of the

three games. Though the weather in Charleston took a while to heat up, the RiverDogs did not. Charleston rattled off a

14-10 April record and 19-10 record in May, sitting atop the South Atlantic League Southern Division standings for much

of the first half.

On an individual level, several players made a quick impact on the RiverDogs season, and it did not go unnoticed by the

Yankees. Robert Refsnyder, playing in his first full professional season, hit .370 in thirteen games for the RiverDogs, with

an on-base percentage of .452. Refsnyder became one of the earliest RiverDogs promoted, heading to Tampa on April

18.

Fans in Charleston were treated to some outstanding pitching in 2013 as well. The pitching staff featured Dominican right-

hander Rafael DePaula. In the first half with Charleston, DePaula went 6-2 with a 2.94 ERA and 96 strike outs in just 64.1

innings. He also held SAL opponents to an astonishing .189 opposing batting average.

Joining DePaula on the SAL leaderboards early in the season was Gabe Encinas. A perfect record of 3-0 carried Encinas

through his first seven starts while he also posted a microscopic 0.77 earned run averaged. The pair highlighted the

pitching staff until a season-ending injury sidelined Encinas in May and DePaula’s promotion at the All-Star Break.

A playoff appearance was within the RiverDogs’ grasp until a June slump dropped the club to second place, where they

went on to finish the first half. Six RiverDogs were named to the SAL Southern Division All-Star team. DePaula and

Encinas were accompanied by catcher Peter O’Brien, who in 53 games in Charleston hit 11 home runs on his way to a

.325 batting average, a .394 on base percentage and a .619 slugging percentage and relievers Dietrich Enns, Ben Paullus

and Alex Smith.

As the second half began first baseman Greg Bird continued his outstanding season for the Dogs. Bird terrorized SAL

pitchers, especially in Greenville. The lefty slugger had a season for the ages in 2013 finishing with an average of .288

with 20 homers, 36 doubles, 84 RBI, and a Minor League best 107 walks. Bird was without a doubt Charleston’s MVP.

Possibly the biggest story of the year for the RiverDogs came down July 1, as the Yankees assigned three-time American

League MVP Alex Rodriguez to Charleston. Rodriguez made his 2013 debut with Charleston in a two-game rehab stint.

On July 2 and July 3, Rodriguez, former RiverDog Eduardo Nunez (also rehabbing from New York) and the RiverDogs

took center stage in the Holy City, playing in front of packed crowds each night.

July saw the RiverDogs steamroll opponents en route to a 17-10 record for the month and once again found themselves

well within the hunt for a spot in the SAL playoffs and a chance for Charleston’s first postseason berth since 2005.

Unfortunately, a late July doubleheader at The Joe against Hickory started of a stretch during which the RiverDogs

seemingly hit the skids. The team could not find a way to win games, and fell to five games out of first place with a month

left in the season.

Familiar faces for fans in the Lowcountry played major roles for the RiverDogs late in the year as outfielder Daniel Aldrich,

a College of Charleston and Wando High School product, made his Charleston debut in late July. Former South Carolina

Gamecock Tyler Webb became a key cog in manager Al Pedrique’s bullpen after being drafted in the tenth round by the

Yankees in June.

Similar to the first half, the RiverDogs were in prime position to contend for the SAL Southern Division crown coming down

the stretch, but a slew of doubleheaders thanks to weather earlier in the season proved too difficult. Charleston came up

just short, closing with a third place finish to the season’s second half and an overall record of 75-63.

Although the RiverDogs missed the playoffs, their regular season finale served as an impressive closing act to the year.

Pitchers Rookie Davis and Derek Varnadore combined for a one-hitter and Bird hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the

ninth inning for a 1-0 victory at The Joe against Rome.

There was certainly a lot to cheer about for RiverDogs fans in the year 2013. In the end, it was another memorable

season of baseball at The Joe.

League History

There have been five different South Atlantic Leagues in the history of minor league baseball, spanning from 1904 to the present with a few breaks. The first ran from 1904-1917 as a Class-C league, then started again in 1919, also Class-C. This time it ran from 1919-1930, moving up to Class-B beginning in 1921. The SAL was re-born as a Class-B league from 1936-1942, shut down for World War II and returned in 1947 as a Class-A league. The Class- AA Southern Association folded after the 1961 season and the SAL was promoted to AA in 1963 to take its place; a year later the name was changed to the Southern League and it is still in operation today. The South Atlantic League name went unused for 16 years until in 1980 when the Western Carolinas League brought back the name to replace its own, and the Sally moniker continues today.

Charleston’s Pro Baseball History

The city of Charleston’s rich professional baseball history dates back to 1886, when the Seagulls took the field as members of the Southern League. Since then, Charleston has hosted more than 70 seasons of professional baseball, from the Rebels and Rainbows at College Park on Rutledge Avenue to the present day RiverDogs at “The Joe” on the banks of the scenic Ashley River. From the deadball era of the late 1800s to the blazing base running of B.J. Upton in the early 21st century, Charleston and professional baseball have been closely tied together.

Near the turn of the century, the Sea Gulls began play at College Park. This initial 20th century Charleston baseball team was a member of the Class-C South Atlantic League. The Sea Gulls existed from 1904-1919 in Charleston, but did not field teams during the 1910, 1912 and 1918 seasons. The 1907 team captured the South Atlantic League championship.

In 1920, the Charleston entry in the South Atlantic League was named the “Palmettos,” but it was shortened the following season to the “Pals.” The Pals, now garnering a more prestigious Class-B minor league designation, would become the most successful minor league team in Charleston baseball history. The 1921 team finished with an 83-64 mark and a league pennant, but fell to Columbia in the championship series.

The 1922 team came back with a strong 80-48 record and brought home the league playoff championship. The Pals were paced by future Hall of Fame outfielder Kiki Cuyler, pitchers George Pipgras and Joe Kiefer, and other future major leaguers who helped the 1922 team also defeat the Wilson Bugs, who were the Virginia League champions that season. Despite the on-field success, the Pals left Charleston during the 1923 campaign and became the Macon (GA) Peaches. The city would be without professional baseball for the better part of 17 years.

Baseball returned to Charleston midway through the 1940 season when R.E. Lamonte brought his Class-B South Atlantic League franchise to town from Spartanburg and began playing as the Rebels. The 1940 team finished at the bottom of the league with a dismal 44-106 record, the worst in Charleston pro baseball history. The 1941 team again struggled, propelling Lamonte to orchestrate a working agreement with the Nashville Vols of the Southern Association. The arrangement made an immediate impact on the performance of the Rebels.

The 1942 Rebels, managed by second baseman and future major leaguer Cecil “Dusty” Rhodes, got hot at the end of the season and took home the league pennant. The Rebels were able to pass Macon in the standings but fell to the Peaches in the championship playoff series. With the country in the midst of World War II, the South Atlantic League suspended operations for three seasons beginning in 1943. Play picked back up in 1946 with a Class-B designation. The Rebels had a mediocre showing that season, but improved in 1947 and took home another league pennant with an 87-65 record in 1948. Again, however, the Rebels couldn’t find postseason success and the playoff title went to Greenville.

The 1949 Rebels, a Chicago White Sox farm team, became the first Charleston team to be affiliated with a major league club. The Rebels’ 1950 outfit was managed by famed “eephus” pitcher Rip Sewell, but following a good showing in 1950, the team’s level of play declined and they left town following the 1953 season. Again, for a stretch of five seasons, the city was without professional baseball.

In 1959, the White Sox returned to Charleston by stationing its Class-A team in the city. The team would be known as the ChaSox for the first season and the White Sox through the next two campaigns. Dismal records and even bleaker attendance figures equated to a brief stay for the franchise in the city. Following the 1961 season, the White Sox left town and the final multiple-season drought without pro baseball in Charleston ensued.

After 11 seasons without professional baseball, the Pittsburgh Pirates fielded a farm team at College Park for the 1973 season. The team roster included future Yankee second baseman Willie Randolph. The Pirates played in the Western Carolinas League through the 1978 season, and then the team departed Charleston. 1979 would be the last year in which Charleston would not play host to a professional minor league baseball team.

In 1980, the Royals, a Kansas City farm team, began play at College Park. The Western Carolinas League took over the South Atlantic League moniker, and the current stint of minor league baseball in Charleston can trace its roots to the 1980 season. That first Royals team took home a Southern Division championship but fell to Greensboro in the playoffs. Kansas City’s success at the major league level was echoed through its highly-regarded farm system, as the Royals brought back another Southern Division title in 1984 but again fell in the playoffs, this time to Asheville. Prominent Royals included pitcher David Cone and 1984 SAL MVP Kevin Seitzer.

For the 1985 season the Charleston club switched affiliations and became a San Diego Padres farm team. The change in parent organization also came with a change in name. The team became known as the “Rainbows” for the 1985 season, alluding to Charleston’s historic Rainbow Row on East Bay Street. Future major league stars Roberto and Sandy Alomar, Jr., along with Carlos Baerga, each graced the field at College Park.

The 1988 team took home a Southern Division title only to fall in the playoffs to Spartanburg. Following that team’s success, Charleston baseball fans would endure 11 consecutive losing seasons.

Amidst the losing seasons, Charleston baseball officials decided to change the team’s nickname to the “RiverDogs” for the 1994 season. The team, a Texas Rangers affiliate from 1993-96, continued to struggle on the field, but the fans started turning out in high numbers, prompting the club to look for a new home in Charleston.

With considerable help from the city of Charleston and a partnership with The Citadel, the RiverDogs opened the 1997 season at brand new $19.5 million Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. Along with a new, picturesque stadium came a new affiliation with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The first season at The Joe set a new single-season attendance of 234,840, a record that would be eclipsed five of the next six seasons (1998-03) at the ballpark. The record was even broken in 2002 despite the outlandish game night promotion of “Nobody Night” when no fans were allowed into the ballpark until the game became official, thus allowing the RiverDogs to set the record for lowest single-game attendance, zero.

The 2003 season resulted in a winning campaign on the field and at the box office. The RiverDogs were led by B.J. Upton, who was named the SAL’s Most Outstanding Major League Prospect, an award that turned out to be deserved when Upton made his major league debut the following season with Tampa Bay. The team’s single-season attendance record of 259,007 was achieved, yet at least one game, dubbed appropriately “Silent Night,” the thousands in attendance didn’t roar with approval for the victory over Capital City. Instead, fans were encouraged to use signs to cheer the RiverDogs on in silence.

In 2004, postseason baseball made its first appearance in Charleston since the 1988 season, ending a span of 16 years without a playoff game. The RiverDogs earned the wild card berth, but they were swept two-games-to-none by Capital City. The team was led by Delmon Young, the second consecutive RiverDog to earn Most Outstanding Major League Prospect honors from the league.

The 2005 season saw the beginning of a new era in Charleston as the RiverDogs became a Class-A affiliate of the 27-time World Series Champion New York Yankees. The team ran away with the first half Southern Division crown and set a RiverDogs record for single-season victories with an 80-58 mark. Five players and two coaches took part in the midseason All-Star game, and outfielder Tim Battle was named the game’s MVP. The team’s success ended early in the postseason, as the RiverDogs were swept in the first round of the playoffs for the second straight year, this time by eventual league champion Kannapolis.

In 2006 the RiverDogs celebrated their 10th season of baseball at “The Joe” and finished the first and second halves in third place in the Southern Division with a 78-62 mark. The ‘06 campaign was highlighted by an all-time Charleston pro baseball attendance record of 267,908 fans. Ben Jones, playing in his second season with the RiverDogs, became the city’s all-time career leader in home runs (35) and RBI (165). He also took home the team triple crown in 2006, hitting .298 with 21 home runs and 88 RBI.

The 2007 season brought yet another record-breaking attendance figure with 284,718 fans clicking the turnstiles at “The Joe,” as the team enjoyed its fifth consecutive winning season. Third baseman Mitch Hilligoss provided the season’s dramatics by posting a team and SAL record 38-game hitting streak, which led to his selection to the league’s postseason All-Star team.

Six of the Yankees’ top 30 overall prospects graced the RiverDogs roster at the start of the 2008 campaign. The RiverDogs set new club marks for victories in a month (20-6 in April), victories in a half (45-25 1st half), and tied for the most victories in a single season with a final 80-59 mark. However, the RiverDogs missed the playoffs, falling one game behind the Asheville Tourists in the first half title chase. 18-year old catching phenom Jesus Montero became the fifth RiverDog in six years to earn postseason All-Star honors, finishing second in the league with a .326 average and pacing the loop with 171 hits. At the box office, the RiverDogs enjoyed the second-best attendance mark in the history of the organization boasting 279,606 fans, good for an average of 4,173 patrons per home contest.

The 2009 campaign saw Charleston miss playoffs by one game for the second consecutive season, finishing just behind Greenville for the first half pennant. In one stretch, the pitching staff hurled 33 consecutive scoreless innings over three straight shutouts, both firsts since joining the Yankees organization. Pitcher David Phelps, outfielder Melky Mesa and infielder Corban Joseph were named to the SAL Postseason All-Star team. Outfielder Abraham Almonte also notched a league-best 26-game hitting streak, finished tied for second in the loop in triples (11) and fifth in steals (36), while ranking 11th in Charleston baseball history in career hits (224) and RBI (102).

The RiverDogs went 65-74 in the 2010 season, marking the first losing campaign since 2002. The team still delighted the fans that season as Riley Park saw its third-best attendance figure, with 269,023 fans being entertained on the banks of the Ashley River. Memorable occasions came on May 5 at Lakewood, when the team recorded its first triple play since 2003, Aug. 13 at Hickory, when J.R. Murphy cranked two home runs, including the team’s first grand slam in over two years, and ended up with nine RBI, one shy of tying the SAL record, and Sept. 6 versus Greensboro, when the RiverDogs won their season finale in walk-off fashion, 2-1 in 10 innings. Infielder Rob Lyerly was the team’s lone representative on the SAL Postseason All-Star team, boasting a .312 average with 157 hits, each third-best in the circuit.

The RiverDogs were again unable to post a winning record in 2011, but many players achieved individual success on the field. Pitcher Mikey O’Brien, catcher J.R. Murphy, infielder Kyle Roller, outfielders Ramon Flores and Slade Heathcott were all selected to the All-Star Game. The season also saw the promotion of ten players to High-A Tampa. One of the players who stayed in Charleston was pitcher Shane Greene whose 128 strikeouts were the fourth most in the South Atlantic League. The team highlight of the year came in the season’s home opener, when they overcame a four-run ninth inning deficit against Rome to win the game 9-8 in 10 innings.

In 2012, the RiverDogs had a special year on and off the field. Charleston jumped out to an early lead in the standings at the start of the season thanks in part to Dante Bichette Jr., Cito Culver, and Tyler Austin. In June, “The Joe” hosted the annual All-Star game, which had an amazing turnout. Though the RiverDogs did not make the playoffs, they did clinch their first winning record since 2009.

The 2013 RiverDogs came close to snapping Charleston’s playoff drought, but the streak extended to eight years after finishing near the top of the Southern Division standings in each half. Greg Bird led the SAL with 107 walks and a .428 on-base percentage to go along with his team-high 20 home runs. The season also featured rehab appearances from three-time American League MVP Alex Rodriguez and former RiverDog Eduardo Nunez.

The Yankees Organization The New York Yankees are one of the most prestigious sports franchises, not just in baseball, but in the entire world. The Yankees lead all Major League Baseball franchises with 27 World Series championships, 40 league pennants, and 18 division titles. The Yankees have also been considered the world’s most valuable baseball team by Forbes Magazine for 16 consecutive years, with the franchise’s value listed at $2.3 billion in the publication’s most recent assessment in 2013. In addition to the organization’s rich history and worth, many famous players and personalities have been associated with “the Pinstripes.” Hall of Fame inductees that represent the Yankees at Cooperstown include Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Casey Stengel, and 2014 selection Joe Torre. The Yankees can also claim MLB record holders Mariano Rivera (652 career saves) and Don Mattingly (six grand slams in a season) among its most famous products.

The City of Charleston

The City of Charleston is located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean at the juncture of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers. Occupying 88.14 square miles, Charleston has 7.6 square miles of a vital, bustling downtown which is home to the city’s central business district. The peninsula’s dense urban streets sit in dramatic contrast to the vast expanses of marsh which lay in buffer around the highlands. Over half of the city’s population lives in West Ashley or James Island, which lie just to the west of the peninsula. West Ashley and James Island are a mixture of old and new; older neighborhoods with brick homes and graceful oak trees settle in with newer subdivisions and commercial centers. John’s Island, more rural in character, combines an intricate network of waterways with fertile farmland, residential property and limited commercial development. Daniel Island and the Cainhoy Peninsula, which lie east and north of the city, are among the most recently annexed areas of Charleston. The pristine Daniel Island, a full 4,500 acres in size, is just beginning to reflect the thoughtfully planned, environmentally sensitive community mapped out in the Daniel Island master plan. As one of the first English settlements in the New World and the site of the first shot fired in the Civil War, Charleston claims a significant place in American history. In 1670, when English explorers arrived at Albermarle Point near present-day Charleston, the first permanent settlement in the state began. Today, Charleston thrives as a contemporary city with old-world charm. From carriage rides to cobblestone streets, touring around Charleston is like stepping back in time. This genteel port city still shows its charm in its pastel-colored houses shaded by moss-covered live oak trees. Many of these antebellum structures, along with a number of plantation homes, are now open to visitors either to tour or for overnight stays. The wealth of early rice and cotton barons is still seen in the magnificent homes and mansions of “The Battery” along the Charleston Harbor or in the many plantation gardens along Ashley River Road, a scenic highway about 15 miles from downtown Charleston. America’s first museum, The Charleston Museum, was founded in 1773 and is located in down Charleston. Its permanent exhibits include artifacts and collections both from the Lowcountry and the world as a whole. Another American “first,” the nation’s first steam locomotive used for passenger service, The Best Friend of Charleston, made its premiere run for six miles on Christmas Day in 1830. The train’s regular service went from Charleston to the Savannah River. A replica is on display adjacent to the Charleston Visitor’s Center. Fort Sumter, located in Charleston Harbor, is the site where the first shots were fired between the North and South to launch the American Civil War. During this first battle in the War Between the States, Abner Doubleday was stationed at the fort as a member of the Union Army. Doubleday has been linked to baseball history since the early 20th century when the “Mills Commission” released a report stating, erroneously, that Doubleday was the game’s inventor. In nearby Mount Pleasant, Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum allows visitors to climb aboard the second United States Aircraft Carrier, The Yorktown. The Yorktown fought many historic battles during World War II, patrolled the western Pacific Ocean during the Cold War years and recovered the crew of Apollo 8, the first manned spacecraft to circle the moon. On tour of this massive ship, visitors see exhibits of bomber and fighter planes on the hangar bay plus letters and other mementos from the crew. The museum also includes tours of the submarine Clamagore, the Coast Guard cutter Ingham, the destroyer Laffey, a re-creation of a Vietnam naval support base and the Medal of Honor Museum. As in other coastal cities, recreation in Charleston revolves around water. Tennis and golf are popular as well, and the mild climate makes them year-round sports. The city operates a municipal golf course and 40 tennis courts. Charleston’s numerous parks and scenic, tree-lined streets provide ample space and a beautiful backdrop for walking, jogging and cycling. The annual Cooper River Bridge Run, attracting more than 40,000 runners in 2007, is one of the most popular races in the Southeast. Waterfront Park, deemed “this generation’s gift to the future” by Mayor Riley, is a popular destination for residents and visitors alike. Additionally, hosts of private and public facilities round out the city’s extensive inventory of recreational facilities.
