The Acadiana Cane Cutters added Bill Levy as the team’s new general manager. Levy comes to Acadiana from the Augusta Greenjackets (Low Class A; Sally League), where he served as the group sales manager. He has been in minor league sports, primarily affiliated baseball, for the last 20 years.  Originally from Wilmington, DE, Levy has a BBA in sports management from Robert Morris University (PA), and a Masters degree in Education Administration from Delta State University (MS).  Tis is his second GM role, as he led the day-to-day business efforts for one season of the Columbus RedStixx (Low Class A; Sally League), before they relocated to Lake County, OH, and became known as the Captains. Levy, who moved along with that franchise, worked a total of five seasons in a couple of different roles for the Captains.   

“We are excited to have Bill join the organization,” said team owner Richard Chalmers. “He has many years in minor league baseball, promoting just the type of atmosphere that we are establishing here at the Cane Cutters.  We look forward to an even better season for 2014, as we plan to be THE place to be in Acadiana in the summer.”
