Notes
Reunited...
and it feels so good
(04/19/08) The Sugar Bears held a "2007 reunion" before today's home game against the Blue Ridge Bombers, as nearly all the members of last year's team came back to the Cereal Bowl to watch the ceremonial hoisting of the franchise's DMBL-record seventh league championship banner. The Sugar Bears return 18 members of last year's team, so every game is pretty much a 2007 reunion. However, they wanted to have a special ceremony today because there are two ex-Sugar Bears on the Bombers
(Jim Edmonds and Michael Barrett). There were 34 players, plus the
injured Hideki Matsui, who played for last year's team,
and all but
seven came back for today's ceremony. The players who couldn't make it
are all on other teams this year: Joey Gathright and Scot Shields (with Arkansas); Brandon Lyon (with Hoboken); Cla Meredith and Mark Teahen (with Marietta); Jimmy Rollins (with Philly); and Casey Blake (with Tampa Bay). "We might have
reunion days the next time we have home games against those teams as
well," clubhouse manager Mike Caruso said. As to the game itself, the Sugar
Bears walloped Blue Ridge in typical 2007 fashion, winning 15-1.

Cubed!
(12/30/06)
The
Sugar Bears celebrated their third straight World
Series victory, and the sixth in their 11-year
history. Series MVP Milton Bradley hit .412 (1.503
OPS) with 3 HR, 8 RBI and 18 total bases in the six
games against Vancouver; for the post-season, he hit
.432 (1.569 OPS) with 6 HRs and 40 total bases. The
team now holds the record for most consecutive World
Series wins (three), most consecutive World Series
appearances (six) and most consecutive division titles
(six) -- all records they intend to extend next
season!
