For the Love of the Game hires former pro

After Keizer City Council granted
management of Keizer Little Park to For
the Love of the Game, the nonprofi t offi -
cially hired Corey Paul to run the day-to-
day operations at the park.
The Vancouver, Wash. resident will
be the lone full-time employee of For the
Love of the Game. He will oversee sched-
uling of fi elds and maintenance of the
park.
“We interviewed a few folks, but Corey
was always the top choice in our minds,
just because of his background and all of
his baseball experience,” said Mavericks
League CEO and For the Love of the
Game founder Mickey Walker. “He has
kind of been at every level of baseball,
so having that kind of experience, espe-
cially when it comes to a complex like
this, is going to be invaluable.”
Prior to his experience in managing
facilities, Paul was drafted by the Seattle
Mariners in the 16th round of the 1987
MLB Draft. He spent four years in the
Mariners system where he shared an out-
fi eld with Ken Griff ey Jr. while playing
for Bellingham — the organization that
would later become the Salem-Keizer
Volcanoes when Mavericks League
owner Jerry Walker moved the franchise
in 1997.
Paul says that the relationship he
formed with Jerry Walker more than 30
years ago was the catalyst for why he was
Corey Paul will oversee scheduling of fields and maintenance of the park.
