The Case of the Missing Freshmen Soccer Trophy

Community Relations Manager, Stu Smilowitz is very proud of his 1998 Most Improved Freshmen Soccer trophy. So proud, that he displays it on his desk. Until recently! The trophy (and all its glory) has gone missing- as if it disappeared into thin air! Is this theft? An office prank? Did it grow a pair of legs and run off to the freshmen soccer fields where it yearns to roam free? Who knows, and only time will tell. Stay tuned for further updates on the case of the miss freshmen soccer trophy.

Thank You Fans! / (fall) Cleaning

Thanks again fans for a great 2008! We have had some awesome moments at the ball park because of you. It is hard to believe it is over, but it is time once again to shut down the seasonal aspects of the ball park. Don't worry though, the front office works (just) as hard during the off season too. We will be here all winter long, getting ready for an even better 2009. Stay tuned for updates throughout the off season. Also, we want to hear from you! Feel free to voice your opinions on the blog!

Thanks again fans, and we will see you in 2009!

The Tickets Are Counted!

Thanks to Bears intern, Nadera, the raffle tickets for tonight's $25,000 grand slame give away are officially counted!

Fans, when you enter the ball park tonight you will be handed a raffle ticket - be sure to hold on to it, because that is your pass to cash! If a bears player hits a grand slam, you may be entered to win $25,000. But you got to be in it, to win it - so be here tonight!

All-Star Meeting #2

The front office is about to go into our second All-Star Game brain storming meeting. Since our first meeting, many ideas have begun to spring into action and it will be great to see where everyone's heads are at and any sort of progress we have made. Update to follow.

The Rally Pop!

During today's nail biting extra inning win, members of the Newark Bears front office staff strategically all "popped" the collar of their staff shirts to signify what is now being called "The Rally Pop" - only moments later, Bear's outfielder, Jose Herrera went on to hit the game winning home run. Coincidence? We think not. Regardless, the rally pop will stay in affect as the Bears head into the highly contested series against the York Revolution. Pop your collars y'all!

hi from the press box. We are currently in our 16th inning of baseball tonight here at the den. Although the Bears dropped the first game, all of the High School Musical activities were a blast and it seemed as if the crowd had a great time. You can never get enough baseball. See you here again tomorrow!
