Allan Benavides is the General Manager of the Eugene Emeralds. He’s been with the team for 15 years and has MANY Tshirts to prove it! He let me choose from a giant bag of Emeralds and Monarcas gear to create this non-traditional Tshirt quilt. Allan radiates joy and energy–his enthusiasm for the Ems and Monarcas is contagious. He got me excited about minor league baseball because it’s fun, local, friendly, and a little wacky. This quilt is also fun and friendly. It’s tilted on its side with baseball themed edge-to-edge stitching by Susan Miner and a cozy flannel backing.
