(AL) York Ballpark not Dead Yet, Newark Adds A's Experience
(Atlantic League) The proposed York baseball team isn't dead yet. The York Outdoor Recreation Complex Committee (convienently enough, spelling YORCC) was working under the pressure of a July 1st deadline to secure plans and matching funds for a $12million state grant to build a 6,000 seat stadium on Arch St. A representative for Governor (and confirmed sports nut) Ed Rendell corrected YORCC this week, telling them the grant doesn't expire until October 31, 2008.
What does this mean for Atlantic League fans? It could mean that there will be a York team (owned by the same group that's bringing us the Lancaster Barnstormers), but we may not see it until 2009 or even 2010, depending on when construction actually begins.
Farther north in the Atlantic League, the Bears announced today the signing of former Oakland A's outfielder Jose Herrera. The 32 year old is a lifetime .283 minor league hitter who spent the last few years playing in Mexico.
