The Bamford Bears have officially entered the I-70 Baseball Classic! The first event for the Bears since the All-Star Baseball Classic (last February) promises to be a first class event filled with top-notch rivalry’s and an even playing field! The newly added I-70 Classic is the newest official “major” of the ASB season and the third event of 2009!
The I-70 Classic is a four night event that consists of an evening of drafting a team, an evening of round robin games and two evenings of playoff games that are a best 2 of 3. Only career players are used for the event!
“I could not be happier!” Ron Santo said after taking batting practice at Brisson Field in Merrimack. “I have not seen very much of the Bears, but I do know that Pete Rose (the Bamford team captain) is a heck of a competitor that plays the game with everything he’s got… Heck, the guy can play just about anywhere on the field and we all know he can hit!”
Participating Teams:
McCall Mudhens (Ryan)
Merrimack Owls (Joe)
Westport Fleas (Matt)
Bamford Bears (Jeff)
All I-70 Classic games will be hosted by the newly renovated McCall Memorial Field in McCall. (a tour and pictures of the new field later this week)
