Timber Rattlers on the Rise

Sunday's Life & Style section at www.postcrescent.com had a few Timber Rattler notes.

First, apparently, one of the five readers of this blog is On the Rise:
Who: Tom Kulczewski

What and where: Kulczewski is director of operations for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, a minor league baseball team that serves as the Class A Midwest League affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.

What he says: "The best part is coming to work at a ballpark every day and being at a place you love," Kulczewski said. "You feel like you're really a part of something special."

What sets him apart: In his current position since 2003, Kulczewski is something of a jack-of-all-trades figure within the Rattlers front office. His many duties include handling the upkeep at Fox Cities Stadium to making sure Rattlers players and coaches are taken care of in terms of travel arrangements and uniforms.

There are a few other unofficial duties that he has as well: Letting me go through the old programs that he has in his office for material on this blog and reading this blog.

Also, the Rattlers are an organization you should Keep an eye on:
Who are they: The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, a minor league baseball club that serves as the Class A Midwest League affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. They play at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium, 2400 N. Casaloma Drive in Grand Chute.

What's new: Fox Cities Stadium underwent its second major renovation project of 2006 when its playing surface was re-graded and dressed with new sod during the off-season.

The project cost between $60,000 and $80,000 and was paid for entirely by the Fox Cities Sports Authority, a nonprofit organization that owns the stadium and leases it to the Rattlers.

"It's looking fantastic," Rattlers president Rob Zerjav said. "It looks like you could just take a marble and roll it and it will be a steady grade down to the warning track."
I'll have to try that. Anyone have a marble?
