When Macon, GA made a bold move to bring baseball back to Historic Luther Williams Field in 2018, they did it in partnership with two industry veterans who literally wrote the book on ticket sales, Steve DeLay and Jon Spoelstra.
The first eight seasons of the Macon Bacon have been a smashing success with more than half the games being sold out. The Macon Bacon have become a national sensation and we’re looking for our next superstar. We are a collegiate summer baseball team and play in the Coastal Plain League. Our fans are treated with first-class entertainment and continuously have been in the top 5% in attendance in summer college baseball out of more than 200 teams and even have an average attendance of better than 30% of all Minor League Baseball organizations.
The Macon Bacon are led by Managing Partner & Team President, Brandon Raphael. Brandon, who has been the President since 2018, led a group to purchase the team in 2024. Brandon has more than 26 years of experience all over the country in Minor League Baseball, College Athletics and Major League Soccer.
