Vic Verchereau welcomes Zac Clark, who is General Manager at Lansing Lugnuts.

Games have been going in Lansing since they broke ground for the Capital Building in 1872, but 30 years ago, a new game was brought to downtown Lansing... minor league baseball!  Business deals and family memories have been made ever since!  The Lansing Lugnuts franchise is among the nation's most successful, and 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of baseball on Michigan Avenue.

After joining the Lugnuts as Assistant General Manager, Dansville Michigan native, Zac Clark, moved up to General Manager in January 2023.  He earned his bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University and his master’s degree from East Tennessee State University before entering the baseball world as an intern with the Martinsville Mustangs.  As the Lansing Lugnuts General Manager his duties go well beyond baseball with his role in helping people enjoy the ballpark in many creative ways.

The 2026 season planning is well under way, and there is a lot to do and enjoy before the first pitch!  Come on down to the corner and listen in to Host Vic Verchereau and Zac Clark as they bring in some warmer weather and opportunities to enjoy this Central Michigan gem!  This is Michigan Corners... C'mon down!
