Gennaro is also the architect of the Diamond Dollars Case Competition series, which has brought together students and baseball officials for a unique learning experience and networking opportunity for aspiring sports executives.

Happy Opening Day! As we open a new baseball season, check out an original collection of articles from the SABR Games Project on historic openers — from a Federal League debut in Baltimore in 1914 to the Blue Jays’ “home” opener in Washington, DC last year.
