⚾ Great Program at the Rotary Club of Harriman!
July was filled with exactly program and we were very pleased to welcome Chris Franklin, Vice President of Operations for Boyd Sports, LLC, as our guest speaker at the Rotary Club of Harriman.
Chris has more than 20 years of experience in professional baseball, with a career spanning ballpark operations, fan experience, food and beverage, business development, and team management. Before joining Boyd Sports, he spent 10 years in the Frontier League as General Manager of the River City Rascals in Missouri and the Joliet Slammers in Illinois. He has now spent 11 years with Boyd Sports, helping lead operations for the organization, which includes the Knoxville Smokies and several Appalachian League teams.
We appreciate Chris taking the time to visit Harriman, share his experiences, and give our Rotarians a behind-the-scenes look at the business and operations of professional baseball.
Thank you, Chris, for a great program and for spending time with the Rotary Club of Harriman!
