On January 29, 2026, one of the most prominent independent baseball teams in the country, the Long Island Ducks, officially changed hands as they were sold to REV Entertainment. This acquisition by REV Entertainment, a sports and entertainment company affiliated with the Texas Rangers, signals a new era for the Ducks, who have long been a staple of the Atlantic League and have made significant contributions to the world of independent baseball. The Ducks, founded in 2000, have built a strong legacy as a four-time Atlantic League champion and have been one of the league’s most successful and recognizable franchises. The team has consistently led the league in both attendance and wins, establishing itself as a beloved and dominant force within the Atlantic League.

For the Ducks, the sale to REV Entertainment is a pivotal moment in their history. The team has enjoyed sustained success over the years, both on the field and off, thanks to their loyal fanbase and commitment to high-level play. The team’s ability to consistently draw large crowds and compete at the top of the league is a testament to their popularity and solid leadership. This change in ownership offers a fresh perspective and potential new resources, which could open the door to even greater success in the coming seasons. REV Entertainment’s involvement brings with it the promise of innovation, both in terms of fan experience and operational capabilities, as the company’s expertise in sports management could further enhance the team’s position in the league.

Frank Boulton, who founded the Long Island Ducks and played an instrumental role in the creation of the Atlantic League, will continue his association with the team in an advisory role. Boulton’s enduring influence on the Ducks and the Atlantic League ensures that the team’s storied past will be honored while it transitions into a new chapter. His experience and insight into the world of independent baseball will serve as a valuable resource for REV Entertainment as they navigate this new ownership structure and look to build on the Ducks’ past successes.

REV Entertainment’s acquisition of the Long Island Ducks is part of a larger strategy to expand their footprint in the independent baseball world. The company, which is affiliated with the Texas Rangers, already owns several other independent league teams, further solidifying its growing influence in baseball outside of Major League Baseball’s traditional minor-league system. REV’s portfolio and vision for the future of independent baseball could result in exciting new opportunities for the Ducks, not only in terms of their on-field performance but also in terms of their broader role in the baseball landscape.

As the Long Island Ducks enter this new era under REV Entertainment’s ownership, the future looks bright. With the combined experience of Boulton’s continued involvement and the resources of REV Entertainment, the team is poised for continued growth and success. The Ducks will no doubt continue to build on their legacy as one of the premier franchises in independent baseball, further strengthening their place in the Atlantic League while also embracing new possibilities for innovation and expansion. Fans can look forward to an exciting new chapter for the team as they navigate the changing landscape of baseball and continue their commitment to providing high-quality entertainment for years to come.
