One name down, two to go.

Owner John McLean of the introduced Holly Jones as the teamB次元官网网址檚 first general manager at Royal Athletic Park, the teamB次元官网网址檚 home park, on Tuesday.

Jones is originally from Oregon but comes with a decorated sales and marketing resum茅, including time spent at the National Basketball AssociationB次元官网网址檚 head office in New York. She also brings three years experience as the assistant general manager of the Corvalis Knights (Ore.), recent winners of the West Coast League.

B次元官网网址淭his is meant to be an exciting league with promotions and giveaways every night and ideally thatB次元官网网址檚 what weB次元官网网址檒l have,B次元官网网址� Jones said.

As GM sheB次元官网网址檒l handle the day-to-day business side of the franchise and was already five days in, she said.

First up is the next two names to be added to the club. One is the head coach, more commonly known around baseball as the field manager, who is responsible for the on-field product. The other is selecting the teamB次元官网网址檚 official nickname, which is underway through a name-the-team contest.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檒l have the name and logo ready for the end of September. Right now we want everyone to pitch their best ideas at ."

Mayor Dean Fortin was also on hand to welcome Jones, saying it didnB次元官网网址檛 take her a week to settle in as a true Victoria resident.

Fortin, McLean and Jones each wore a black baseball hat bearing a white V that resembled the logo of the Stanley Cup-winning Victoria Cougars of 1925. But the hat is just a placeholder, same as the Victoria Baseball Club name, McLean said.

Prior to the press conference McLean also clarified any confusion around the role of the GM, which in the big leagues is related to the roster. But there is no trading in the short, 54-game WCL season. The field manager does the recruiting and players sign a new contract every year, as long as they are NCAA eligible, which means they cannot be under contract to an MLB team.

As for the stadium, Jones said sheB次元官网网址檚 looking forward to using the Daktronics video board, which was installed and is owned by Darren Parker, owner of the now-defunct Victoria Seals (2009 to 2010).

Victoria will enter the West Coast League for June of 2013 and play 27 home games. Prior to June the baseball diamond of RAP will be refit to NCAA standards.
