What Long Island Ducks Baseball does

Long Island Ducks Baseball (legal entity: Long Island Ducks Professional Baseball Club, LLC) is a private professional minor league baseball franchise founded in 2000, headquartered in Central Islip, New York, and playing home games at the 6,800-seat Fairfield Properties Ballpark. The team competes in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, an MLB Partner League that functions as a developmental pathway to Major League Baseball, and is the all-time Atlantic League leader in wins and attendance with 9.5M+ cumulative fans and 724 sellouts since inception. As of February 2026, the franchise is owned by REV Entertainment, which also owns the Schaumburg Boomers and operates teams across three MLB Partner Leagues.

The franchise monetizes through five primary revenue streams: ticketing (individual game tickets, season tickets, mini plans, group tickets, birthday packages, mobile delivery); concessions and catering operated by Great South Bay Hospitality including The Duck Club restaurant and in-ballpark mobile ordering via the Catch app; corporate sponsorships (notably Fairfield Properties' naming rights, plus Catholic Health, PSEG Long Island, FourLeaf Federal Credit Union, and Discover Long Island); merchandise via the Waddle In Shop and online store; and ancillary services including paid QuackerJack mascot appearances ($175-$275), Kids Club memberships ($25-$90 annually), and the #OneFlock youth baseball clinic. Community programming is structurally significant, anchored by the 501(c)(3) QuackerJack Foundation, Heroes of the Game veterans recognition program active since 2015 (with Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency), host family partnerships, Little League support, and extensive school-visits by mascot QuackerJack.

The technology stack is intentionally lightweight and third-party: Glitnir for ticketing and online storefront, Catch for mobile F&B ordering, HomeTeam Network's Dugout TV for live streaming, and iScoreCentral for live scoreboard/stats. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across box office, phone (631-940-TIXX), and liducks.com, with multi-channel marketing across Facebook, YouTube, email newsletters, local media (Newsday, regional TV), and on-site promotional events (Bark in the Park, fireworks nights, Jewish Heritage Night, branded giveaways). The leadership team includes founder Frank Boulton, President/Chief Business Officer Michael Pfaff, Field Manager Lew Ford, VP of Communications Michael Polak, HR/Office Manager Christine Blumenauer, and Promotions/Community Relations Manager Gabrielle Hernandez.
