chuck domino leaves reading for richmond

Chuck Domino has resigned as President of the Reading Phillies to become the Chief Executive Manager with the Connecticut Defenders, who will be relocating to Richmond, Virginia, in 2010. Like the Reading Phillies, the Defenders are in the Eastern League. Domino, who joined the Reading Phillies in 1987 as General Manager, changed minor league baseball in Reading and throughout the Eastern League. Domino, who will continue his relationship with the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs, turned First Energy Stadium in Reading into a great venue for baseball. Richmond should count itself lucky to have snared him for their new team.
