April 20, 2023 – Carolina League (CarL) – Fredericksburg Nationals News Release
FREDERICKSBURG, VA – The following is a statement from the Silber Family (Art, Lani, and Seth) regarding some important developments with the Fredericksburg Nationals:
We recently opened our third season in Fredericksburg to a sell-out crowd at Virginia Credit Union Stadium. The season is off to a great start, with many exciting events forthcoming at the Stadium and in the community, with the expectation of seeing records crowds throughout the summer and hopefully bringing a Carolina League championship to Fredericksburg.
Our launching of the FredNats and success over the past three seasons is due in large part to our Executive Vice President and General Manager, Nick Hall.

We are greatly saddened to announce Nick’s departure. Nick is leaving to pursue a tremendous opportunity for him and his family in his hometown of St. Louis. He will be joining the Major League Soccer franchise, the St. Louis City SC, in a senior position in their organization. It is a wonderful next step in his career path. He is a wonderful and valued friend, whose presence will be greatly missed. Nick will be with the FredNats through our game on Friday, May 5. Please take the time to stop him on the concourse, thank him, and wish him the best of luck with his move.
Our franchise, nonetheless, will not skip a beat and will continue to grow our impact in the greater Fredericksburg community.
We are tremendously excited to announce that Robbie Perry, our current Assistant General Manager and Vice President of Creative Services, is being promoted to Interim General Manager and will be responsible for all FredNats’ activities and operations. Robbie has also been with us since the…
