Venuto’s various roles included selling and managing tickets and sponsorship, building an Events Department, overseeing customer service and customer experience for Ripken Baseball, acting as General Manager, and acting as Host President for the Cal Ripken World Series.

Highlights, during Venuto’s tenure with Ripken Baseball, include leading the Aberdeen IronBirds’ Ticketing Department to sell out every single game for three straight seasons.  Her efforts helped cement a culture that led to ten straight years of consecutive sellouts.  Venuto created, established, and grew the Ripken Stadium Events Department.  Ripken Events became an industry leader in this non-traditional revenue sector.

As Ripken Baseball added more minor league teams, Venuto moved into a corporate role and immensely aided in the startup of the new franchises helping to lead the teams to attendance increases and records.  Amy was the Host President of the Cal Ripken World Series, overseeing all aspects of this international event.  Under Amy’s leadership, the Cal Ripken World Series set attendance records three consecutive years.
