The Feature Attraction

      The program was given by former General Manager of the Quad City River Bandits, Kirk Goodman. Kirk will be leaving the area for a different venture but related some of his happy memories of the past four years in the Quad Cities. Kirk has spent a total of 16 years in minor league baseball. Kirk cited a number of examples of how innovation was brought into the marketing of the club and felt pleased that he was leaving on a high note. Kirk remarked that the cooperation and commitment of the City of Davenport had been very well received. He closed by encouraging everyone to participate in and support minor league sports.
