Strike Out Cancer!

The Cancer Treatment Centers of America sponsored Strike Out Cancer day at the Den this past Sunday. It was a very touching event, and the Bears were proud to be apart of it. Following the game, the CTCA lead a survivors stroll around the bases. Here are a few words from the participants..



Also, don't forget you continue to help the Bears strike out cancer this coming weekend by participating in the Newark Relay for Life. It's not too late to sign up!

Congrats are in Order!

Big weekend at the ball park and many congratulations are in order. First, Bear's Pitcher Rich Scalamandre proposed to his girlfriend on the field after Friday's game. In case you missed it, Rich put together a special slide show for the video board, and then got down on one knee. Don't worry..she said yes!

After the June 18th game, Manager Wayne Krenchicki secured his 1,000th managerial win. 661 of those 1,000 wins have come in the Atlantic League. Finally, special congrats to former bears player Val Majewski - he was picked up by the Astros organization, and is now a member of the AA Corpus Christie Hooks. Congrats to all!

Did You Know?

The city of Newark is home to more then just Bears Baseball. Many famous Americans were born and raised in this great city (we are just saying...)

Just to name a few...Whitney Houston, Shaquille O'Neill, Randy Foye, Daisy Fuentes, and Queen Latifa all have Newark roots!

Fan Cam - Special Edition

The Bears had a special guest in stadium - Jacob Lamboy. He is not just any fan. He is one of the little leaguers featured on the cover of the 2008 pocket schedule. Here is his famed photo as well as a recreation.

Chia Shaggy Update Part 3

In record time...Chia Shaggy has a full head of grass! The front office has been taking turns watering Shaggy, and rotating him towards the sun. It truly is the little things that make working in minor league baseball exciting. Good times!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow...

ROY G BIV! The front office staff was on hand at the ball park last night hosting a private event for the Fresh Air Fund. After a brief rain shower in the midst of the event, a beautiful rainbow emerged over center field. Check it out!

StarFish To Perform on Sunday!

Our friends from the band Starfish will be performing before the Bears game this coming Sunday June 22nd. Their performance will follow the kids clinic also taking place that morning. Bring the whole fam for a great day at the ball park!
