The front office of the Alleghany County Nitros consists of one man and that man is Dan Russo. He is the owner, president and the GM of the team. He has been with the Nitros since they came into the NYCBL in 1998. He started as the General Manager and then became president and owner in 2002. He is a retired Army Sergeant and has lived in Wellsville for 30 years. He is on the County Legislative of Alleghany County and is also the Treasurer of the NYCBL and just earned the Daub Award for 2008 for his involvement in the NYCBL.
His vision for the league and his team are both very positive. He would put this league up against any other summer wooden bat league in this area such as the New England League or the Cape Cod League. The ownership is great and with two new teams coming in, in Cooperstown and Albany, this will increase the credibility of the league through the roof. As for his team, he wishes to maintain the positive image that they have and to give back to the community for what they have given his team as well as staying successful as a team as they have been in recent years along with 27 professional contract signings. That’s how Dan views both the league and his team.
