About 7th Inning Stretch, LLC

The Stockton Ports are proud to be one of three teams owned by 7th Inning Stretch, LLC, a Stockton-based baseball ownership group, headed by Tom Volpe. 7th Inning Stretch was founded in 1999 when Volpe purchased the Visalia Oaks. The group moved its headquarters to Stockton when Volpe acquired the Stockton Ports in 2002. Ports President and General Manager Pat Filippone was added to the ownership group in July 2006, after serving as the CEO of the Fresno Grizzlies.

Two of the three teams owned by 7th Inning Stretch have won championship titles since joining the 7th Inning Stretch LLC Family. The Stockton Ports won the 2008 California League title and the Everett AquaSox won the 2010 Northwest League title.
