Board Of Directors

Joseph J. Plumeri, III Joseph J. Finley Joseph Caruso ———————————————————————————————————————

WILL SMITH - General Manager/ C.O.O. Will Smith joined the Trenton Thunder in the fall of 2008 and in his three years as General Manager he has increased attendance, overseen high profile rehabilitation appearances, received a Humanitarian Award and following the 2011 season was named Eastern League Executive of the Year. Will’s leadership has led to an increase in attendance the last two seasons. In 2010, the Thunder’s total attendance jumped by over 12,000 fans and last season, attendance per game increased by 5%. The Thunder’s Major League affiliate, the New York Yankees, trusted two of their “Core Four” to Smith’s watch as Andy Pettitte (9/9/10) and Derek Jeter (7/2 and 7/3/11) were sent to rehab in Trenton. With an emphasis on increasing atten-dance and supplying the Yankees with the atmosphere and security worthy of the highest profile talent, Will and the team continued to be leading members of the community. In the fall of 2010, Smith and the Thunder were presented the Humanitarian Award by the American Conference on Diversity. Will began his career in baseball in 2001 after working as an engineer for several years. He attended the Baseball Winter Meetings in Dallas, TX, in December 2000 and partici-pated in the PBEO Job Fair where he accepted a job in New Haven, CT, with former East-ern League member, the New Haven Ravens. After two seasons selling tickets, advertising and merchandise, Will left New Haven for Hagerstown, MD, to work for the Hagerstown Suns (Class-A South Atlantic League). He earned two promotions in Hagerstown and was named General Manager in 2006. After two seasons running the day-to-day operations of the Suns, Will accepted an opportunity to return to Trenton and work for the Minor League team he had purchased tickets for while he was a college student at nearby The College of New Jersey.

ERIC LIPSMAN - Senior Vice-President of Corporate Sales & Partnerships The last remaining member of the original Thunder Front Office. Eric joined the Thunder organization in December of 1993 as the team’s Director of Marketing and Merchandis-ing. In 2001, Eric became the Executive Director of Marketing for both the Thunder and their sister team the Lakewood BlueClaws (Single-A Affiliate of The Philadelphia Phillies in the South Atlantic League). In September of 2005, Eric was promoted to the Vice President of Marketing for both clubs and in November of 2009, he was named Senior Vice President of Corporate Sales & Partnerships for the Thunder. Eric oversees all aspects of marketing for the Thunder including national, regional and local sponsorships, promotional night giveaways, and in-game promotions. He is also the editor of the Thunder Yearbook, which has won numerous awards over the last eighteen years. In 2003, Eric was selected to be a speaker at the Minor League Baseball Promo-tional Seminar in Cincinnati. He is a lecturer on Sports Marketing and the Business of Baseball at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, and a member of the school’s Sports Marketing Advisory Board. Eric also works closely with the Yankees on Major League Rehabs like Hideki Matsui, Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, and last year’s Phil Hughes and Derek Jeter assignments to Trenton. He also works with former Thunder players on the Yankees, like Joba Chamberlain, Bret Gardner, David Robertson and Robinson Cano on their promotional items that are given out at Waterfront Park. Before 2002, Eric was also in charge of the merchandising departments of the Thunder and the BlueClaws, and he was responsible for the creation and design of both the original Thunder Dugout Gift Shop in Trenton and the Claws Cove Gift Shop in Lakewood. Both teams have been in the top twenty in merchandise sales of all Minor League Baseball Clubs since their inceptions in 1994 (Trenton) and 2001 (Lakewood). Eric resides in Doylestown, PA, along with his wife, Sherry, children, Jaclyn, Troy, and Tyler, and a pair of famous golden retrievers, Chase and Derby.

Tony Franklin returns for his sixth season as Thunder Manager in 2012, making him the longest tenured manager currently in the Eastern League as well as the longest tenured manager in Thunder history. Franklin guided Trenton to back-to-back Eastern League Championships in 2007 and 2008. In 2008 and 2010, Trenton finished the regular season with the best record in the Eastern League (86-54, 83-59). The 2008 Eastern League Championship was Franklin's third title as manager. In 1993, he led South Bend (Single-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox) to the Midwest League Championship. The Thunder also became the first Eastern League team to win back-to-back championships since the Harrisburg Senators won four consecutive titles from 1996-1999. Franklin owns a career managerial record of 997-906 including a record of 405-323 with Trenton (records include post-season). Prior to his time in Trenton, Franklin spent most of the last 11 years as the Minor League Infield Instructor for the San Diego Padres. His managerial career began with the White Sox organization as the manager for Geneva (NY) of the New York-Penn League in 1982. Franklin spent four seasons in Geneva, making the playoffs in 1985. After one season with Wytheville (Appalachian League), he guided the White Sox affiliate in the Florida State League, the Sarasota White Sox, to a playoff appearance in 1989. Franklin spent two years as the skipper of the Birmingham Barons of the Southern League, including 81 wins in 1991 and a berth in the Championship Series. While in Birmingham, Franklin was the manager of former Heisman Trophy winner Bo Jackson. Before Trenton, his last managerial stint came with Las Vegas in 2000. Franklin filled in for Duane Espy and guided the Stars to a 43-50 mark. Franklin was honored by San Diego in 1997 with the Jack Krol Award for Outstanding Minor League Instruction in the Padres’ organization. Franklin’s playing career included six seasons in the Minors with the Cincinnati Reds, (1970-75), and one year with the Chicago Cubs (1976). While with the Reds, Franklin played alongside former Reds Ken Griffey, Sr. and Dan Dreissen. Franklin and his wife, Haiba, have three children, Derrick, Wayne and Shelby.

Did You Know Current Philadelphia Phillies TV broadcaster Tom McCarthy was one of the original members of the Thunder’s front office. McCarthy was hired in 1993 to be the team’s Director of Public Relations and radio broadcaster. The College of New Jersey graduate ascended to the position of Assistant General Manager in 1996 before finally leaving the team after the 1999 season to further his broadcasting career. Another former Thunder front office member, Andy Freed, is currently the radio broadcaster for the Tampa Bay Rays. Freed spent five years in the Thunder radio booth from 1996-2001 and also broadcast Rider men’s basketball and The College of New Jersey football during his tenure in Trenton.

Did You Know

In fact, the Thunder left a franchise-record 25 men on base during the contest.

2011 Scranton-Wilkes Barre Notebook The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees were one of only four teams

in the International League in 2011 to have six different players record at least 100 hits. Jordan Parraz (128), Kevin Russo (123), Jesus Montero (121), Brandon Laird (120), Jorge Vazquez (119), and Greg Golson (101) all reached the 100-hit mark for the season.

1st baseman Jorge Vazquez (R, HR, TB, RBI, SLG, OPS) and outfielder Jordan Parraz (G, H, 2B, BB, OBP) led Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a combined eleven different offensive categories. Vazquez finished in the top-6 of the International League in four offensive categories (HR, RBI, TB, SLG) including his league-leading 32 home runs and second best 93 RBI’s.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s pitching staff combined for four low-hit games (allowing 3 hits or less) in 2011, two more low-hit games than any other team in the International League. These four low-hit games consisted of two 1-hitters (D.J. Mitchell 7/2/11, Manny Banuelos 8/29/11), one 2-hitter (Dellin Betances 8/29/11), and one 3-hitter (David Phelps 9/4/11).

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre pitching staff combined to finish in the top-4 of the International League in five different categories (ERA, CG, SHO, H, R) including leading the league in complete games and shutouts.

Because PNC Field is undergoing a $40 million reconstruction project, six different venues will host the SWB Yankees’ home games in 2012. Frontier Field in Rochester, NY (37); Alliance Bank Stadium in Syracuse, NY (10); Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, PA (8); Dwyer Stadium in Batavia, NY (7); Coca-Cola Field in Buffalo, NY (6); and McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, RI (4) will be the homes to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in this upcoming season.
