Ep. 36 | The Startup Story of the Richmond Flying Mummies with GM Trevor Amerson on The Hub with Michael Allen

A baseball team doesn't magically appear when the first pitch is thrown. It gets built through long days, unexpected challenges, and a lot of trust earned one handshake at a time. On Episode 36 of The Hub with Michael Allen, we sit down with Trevor Amerson, General Manager of the Richmond Flying Mummies, to discuss what it really takes to launch a Northwoods League summer collegiate baseball franchise in Richmond, Indiana. Trevor shares the realities most fans never see, including host families, player housing, transportation logistics, hotels, sponsorships, staffing, and stadium improvements. He explains why his role is only "five percent baseball" and how the organization is focused on building something much bigger than a team by creating a lasting experience for communities across Wayne County. We also discuss the Flying Mummies brand, the story behind the name, the merchandise fans are buying, theme nights, community engagement, and the ownership group helping bring summer baseball back to Richmond. Plus, Trevor shares some behind-the-scenes stories from year one, including the unique Napoleon Dynamite connection that has become part of the franchise's story. Hosted by Michael Allen and proudly sponsored by Manpower Eastern Indiana, The Hub highlights the people, businesses, and organizations strengthening companies and communities across eastern Indiana.
