Although the team did not win the Eastern League championship, their achievements in both business and baseball operations led to this award. Squirrels Chief Operating Officer Ben Rothrock expressed pride in the organization's community impact and future prospects. This marks the second time a Richmond-based club has received this award, with the Richmond Braves previously recognized in 1997.
