Mariners' Adamack wins Fishel Award

11/16/2005
Mariners executive Randy Adamack, who ranks second to Dave Niehaus on the organization's seniority list, has been selected as the 2005 winner of the Robert O. Fishel Award for Public Relations excellence.
All but three of Adamack's 31 years of Major League service have been with the Mariners, beginning in 1978, when he became the director of public relations. He has served in various capacities since then and currently is the vice president of communications.
"We are absolutely pleased and thrilled that our own Randy Adamack has received the 2005 Robert O. Fishel Award," Mariners president Chuck Armstrong said. "This award is well earned, justly deserved and we extend our heartiest congratulations to Randy."
The annual award is named for Fishel, a longtime American League public relations vice president.
Adamack served as the Cleveland Indians' director of public relations from 1975-78 before joining the Mariners. In his current position, Adamack continues to play a key role in the club's efforts in media relations, broadcasting and advertising, and for special events, such as the 1979 and 2001 All-Star Games and Seattle's participation in the AL playoffs in 1995, 1997, 2000 and 2001.
A native of Conneaut, Ohio, Adamack is a 1973 graduate of Wittenberg University and attended the sports administration graduate program at Ohio University.
The Robert O. Fishel Award goes to the "active, non-uniformed representative of Major League Baseball whose ethics, character, dedication, service, professionalism and humanitarianism best represent the standards propounded by Robert O. Fishel."
The selection committee consisted of past winners, current PR directors, Major League Baseball officials and the Baseball Writers Association of America.
