After 20 years as a minor league baseball executive Jason Dambach knows all about pulling the tarp—literally. He started his career as a broadcaster for the Altoona Curve—but it was his work outside the broadcast booth that ultimately propelled him to President & General Manager of two minor league baseball franchises.
