Choosing the person to interview for this assignment was difficult at first, trying to determine which sport and how to contact that person. I first started with the Toledo Mud Hens, but didn’t receive any call backs. I also contacted the Lansing Lugnuts and the West Michigan White Caps and again no call backs.

Looking up their front office staff on their website I seen that Angela Olivas is the Director, Marketing and Communications for the team.…
