Road Trip!

After work today, the front office is using our night off to check out another local team, the NJ Jackals (a member of the Can-Am League). In addition to spending some time together it is always nice to see how other teams in the area run their operation. For many of us, it will be our first visit to that ballpark, and we are all excited to check it out!

Relay in Full Swing

Hello from the Den - It is just before 1 AM. We are having a great time at the event. It has been both entertaining and emotionally moving. The ball park has truly been transformed into an arena of hope. Here are some great shots:

Live from Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium..It's Saturday! (and Relay for Life)

The day has arrived - today, tonight, and tomorrow the Bears are playing host to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. The field looks great! Head grounds keeper extraordinaire, Carlos, put a pattern of the Cancer ribbon in the outfield. Check back throughout the event for updates and highlights. The event is open to the public, so be sure to stop by.

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.
