Happy Birthday Little Bobby!

Over the weekend, Bears infielder Bobby Hill celebrated his son's (little Bobby) 1st birthday. Many of the Newark Bears players went out to celebrate the milestone. Happy Birthday little Bobby!

Was it with birds in this town??!

Bears production intern, Lauren, was surprised this morning when she found a bird flapping around the production booth when she went upstairs to start getting ready for today's game. A window in the press box was accidentally left open over night after yesterday's game and the bird must have mistakenly flown in. It was a team effort to try and get the bird out of the production booth.





The birds are taking over! We don't get it

Annual Front Office Softball Game, This Friday!

The office is buzzing. This Friday, the front office will square off in the annual softball game. After hosting thousands of corporate outings this summer, it is nice to celebrate one of our own - and what better way then to play a softball game on a our state of the art field! Considering that much of the front office has college athletic experience, it is already getting pretty serious - and the teams have not even been announced! Smack talk is in full force - can't wait to see everyone put their money where their mouths are!

1st All Star Meeting

This morning the front office got together to discuss the upcoming 2009 All-Star game for the first time. Everyone chimed in with great ideas and suggestions and it seems that we definitely have our work cut out in order for us to put on a great event. So much goes into planning a large scale event such as this. Everything from hotels, give-aways, sponsors, logo design, and entertainment must be considered. It was really interesting to hear about other similar events (whether they be previous Atlantic League All-Star Games, the Belmont Stakes, or the MLS Cup) that members of the current front office have been involved in over the years. Discussing what made those events successful was certainly insightful into how we can make the '09 game one of the best ever. These are the type of events we live for!

While no major decisions needed to be made at this time, everyone was in agreement that the 2009 All-Star game must truly reflect the spirit of the city of Newark - and oh, it will.

Stay tuned for more updates on the All Star Game..
