Jim McNamara began his career with the then Lakewood BlueClaws in January 2004, as Group Sales Assistant. Over the last 20 years Jim has been a Group Sales Manager, Director of Group Sales and Vice President of Ticket Sales. Now, as the Vice President of Community Relations & Sales for the Jersey Shore BlueClaws and as Executive Director for BlueClaws Charities, he works to keep the BlueClaws connected with the Jersey Shore Community year-round. In addition to that, Jim oversees the fundraising efforts for BlueClaws Charities, which provides financial support to non-profit organizations around the Jersey Shore. Jim is extremely proud of the work he and his co-workers do out in the community to give back to the people and organizations that support the team and help create such a fun and unique energy at the ballpark each summer.
“Jimmy Mac” originally from Matawan, has spent his whole 20 year career with the BlueClaws and while there have been several exciting and memorable days and nights at the ballpark, two stand out to him. One, is September 15th, 2006, the night The BlueClaws won their first South Atlantic League Championship and the celebration that followed. The other is July 3, 2018 when Jim and his wife, along with several of their friends and family members in attendance, found out they were having a baby boy with a special fireworks gender reveal before the biggest fireworks show of the year! Jim lives in Keyport with his wife Amy and kids Connolly & Emmie.
Let’s congratulate Jim McNamara on his tremendous accomplishments and dedication to Jersey Shore BlueClaws and the Jersey Shore Community!🦀 ⚾ 👏
