When it comes to their support in the community and commitment
to the Tacoma Athletic Commission, they always "Answer the Bell".
A former Bellarmine Prep football and basketball standout, Mario Menconi and his company have been extremely supportive of the Banquet of Champions, the Shanaman Sports Museum, the Tacoma-Pierce County Baseball-Softball Oldtimers Association, and the Playgrounds to the Pros book--all TAC projects. We thank Mario Menconi and his staff for their championship attitude!!
The TAC enjoys supporting the Tacoma Rainiers
TAC members celebrate the 84th birthday (April 21) of Clay Huntington (seated in middle), a founder of the TAC and the sole living member of the organization that was started in 1943.

Clay Huntington and Stan Naccarato lay claim to being the "elder statesmen" of the Tacoma Athletic Commission--a dubious honor to be sure.
