Meet Jake, the Ticket Leprechaun
December 1, 2016 - Coastal Plain League (Coastal Plain)
Gastonia Grizzlies News Release
The Gastonia Grizzlies would like to introduce the Ticket Leprechaun, Jake Brewer! Jake is entering his fourth season with the Grizzlies. Jake takes care of all the Grizzlies Members.
Jake is from Franklin, North Carolina. He attended Franklin High School where he played varsity basketball. After Franklin High School, Jake attended Western Carolina University. He graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor's Degree in Sport Management. Shortly after graduation from Western Carolina University, Jake joined the Grizzlies as an intern in the summer of 2014.
After spending the 2014 season as an intern with the Grizzlies, Jake was asked to join full time to oversee the Grizzlies Membership program. Jake immediately began building relationships with members, which is where Jake's title the "Ticket Leprechaun" came from. A member Terry Jones once told Jake, "don't take offense, but you could be the mascot for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish." After Jake was hired a couple months later, Jesse, the owner of the Grizzlies, had a similar thought. He said "Jake, don't be offended- but would you dress up at our games like a Leprechaun? You kind of look like one!" Jake thought it was a great idea, and the Grizzlies are all about being fun and different- so he now has the most unique title in the world; he is the only Ticket Leprechaun!
Jake's best Grizzlies moment was during this past summer. Jake was on the first base side talking to fans during a Grizzlies game. As Jake was talking with Grizzlies fans, a little boy was walking up the stairs with a slushy. The little boy, slipped and fell spilling his slushy. The boy started crying and ran to his parents. Jake immediately rushed across the ballpark to get the boy another Sun Drop slushy. Jake brought him back a slushy, and when he did the kid stopped crying and smiled. Everyone in the grandstand that saw what happened started clapping. Jake had the following statement on the situation, "This is a moment that stands out to me because taking care of people is what we are all about."
Jake enjoys having moments like these happen while working for the Grizzlies, but when Jake has free time, he can be found playing in basketball and softball leagues. Jake also enjoys collecting baseball cards and memorabilia.
If you are interested in becoming a Member of the Grizzlies, feel free to contact Jake at and he would love to take care of you!
