REV Entertainment, the sports and entertainment company of the Texas Rangers, have purchased the Long Island Ducks baseball team.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Long Island Ducks have competed in the Atlantic League since 2000 and play their home games at Fairfield Properties Ballpark in Central Islip. The Ducks, the all-time leader in wins and attendance in Atlantic League history, have led all MLB Partner Leagues in total attendance for five consecutive seasons, and have sold out a record 721 games all-time, according to a REV Entertainment statement.
The Ducks founding owner Frank Boulton will continue in an advisory role with REV Entertainment. In addition to founding the Ducks, Boulton also founded the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball and served as its chairman from the league’s inaugural season through January 2026, when he transitioned to member-at-large.
“I have always viewed my ownership of the Long Island Ducks as a public trust, and any successor had to be in lockstep with that belief,” Boulton said in the statement. “REV Entertainment has that commitment and is the right organization to guide the Ducks into the future and keep QuackerJack dancing on the dugout tops for many years to come. I am grateful to the fans, friends, sponsors and entire Long Island community for their support for 25 incredible seasons of Ducks baseball and am confident it will only get better as we enter the next 25.”
Besides the Ducks, REV Entertainment, based in Arlington, Texas, now owns and operates other teams throughout MLB Partner Leagues, including the Cleburne Railroaders and Kane County Cougars of the American Association of Professional Baseball, and the Schaumburg Boomers of the Frontier League.
“We’re proud to welcome the Long Island Ducks into the REV family,” Sean Decker, president of REV Entertainment, said in the statement. “Frank Boulton has built something truly special on Long Island. Our responsibility is to honor that legacy, build upon the foundation he established, and continue delivering an affordable, family-friendly experience while positioning the Ducks for long-term success.”
The Ducks’ front office will continue to be led by Michael Pfaff, president and chief business officer. REV Entertainment’s Sports Management division will oversee all business operations moving forward.
“This is an exciting time. While we have experienced unprecedented success in our first 25 years, we honor the past by safeguarding its legacy for generations to come,” Pfaff said in the statement. “In that spirit, I look forward to working with REV on continuing to provide Long Island with the cleanest, safest, most fan friendly and affordable way for people to spend their discretionary dollar.”
