The front office for the Mohawk Valley Diamondawgs consist of team owner and President David N. Dittman and also General Manager Travis Heiser. For David, it started for him as a youngster as he grew up around baseball. His father was the attorney for the Phila Phillies for 40 years. He bought his first wooden bat collegiate baseball team in 2000 in the Peninsula Pilots.
Travis Heiser is the General Manager of the Mohawk Valley Diamondawgs and is entering his second season with the team as the General Manager. He is a native of Canajoharie, N.Y. and coached the St. Johnsville high school baseball team. Travis has been with the team since 2007 starting out as an assistant coach. Travis was an all-star as a player in college as he played for Fulton-Montgomery Community College. He was a New York State College Baseball All-Star before he went to play for Endicott.
Their visions of both the club and the league are very positive. The NYCBL is the league of the future says Dittman. With the addition of Albany in 2009 and Cooperstown in 2010 the NYCBL will join the group of elite summer wood bat leagues. For the Diamondawgs, the goal is pretty simple and that is to be the number one summer wooden bat team in the country. “We have the best stadium, the best host families, the best fans, a growing number of advertisers and a marketing area begging for a great BASEBALL franchise-we will be that” says David about the future of the club.
