Barnstormers



Here's one from way back. This is Clipper Magazine Stadium in Lancaster, Pa. Home of the Lancaster Barnstormers of the independent Atlantic League. 2005 was the inaugural year for the Barnstormers and the kids and I went to a game here on July 31st. Chalk up a win for the home team this night they beat the Newark Bears. And every once in a while you get to check off something on your baseball to-do list, this game allowed us to witness our first bench clearing brawl.
The Atlantic League continues to grow adding a team in York, Pa. last year and one in Southern Maryland this year. Tickets are at times hard to get, which is a good thing for the franchise, and the league plays through mid-September, two weeks longer than the Minor Leagues.
