Historic Atlantic League Baseball makes way to Hall of Fame Posted by tbnBBM On 02/02/2016 Cooperstown, NY - The distinctive red and blue stitched official baseball used by the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball has been added to the permanent collection at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y. In addition, the ball is currently on display as part of the “This Year in Baseball” exhibition. “It is an incredible honor to have a piece of league and professional baseball history as part of the Hall of Fame’s collection,” says Atlantic League President Rick White. “We are profoundly appreciative of the Hall’s consideration and encourage all of our fans to pay a visit to Cooperstown.” The baseball represents the first artifact from the Atlantic League to be place in the Hall of Fame. It was debuted on July 8, 2015 at the league’s 18th Annual All-Star Game, held at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Bridgeport Bluefish pitcher D.J. Mitchell, who was representing the Liberty Division, delivered the ball to York Revolution outfielder Brandon Boggs before the ball was removed from play. The Atlantic League adopted the red and blue stitched baseball as a way to honor baseball’s rich heritage as America’s pastime. The baseballs are a tribute to the original baseballs used by the American League until 1934, when Major League Baseball adopted red stitched baseballs in both leagues. Each baseball is created by Rawlings Sporting Goods, the Atlantic League’s official supplier of baseballs since its founding in 1998. They represent a first in the game’s modern era, as each of league’s eight teams’ baseballs bear the unique signature of their Club Director along with that of White. They are now used league-wide during all regular season and postseason games and are available for fans to purchase in all team stores. Copyright © 2021 thebaynet.com. All rights reserved. Page 1.

ALSO INSIDE Remembering Manute Bol • Patching Up the Bluefish • UB’s Poet Laureate 1 President’s Line Dear Friends: As I walk through campus on these beautiful fall days, it gives me great pleasure to see so many familiar faces—upper-classmen, professors, and staff—and also the hundreds of new students who these days crowd the PedMall. More than 5,100 students from 80 nations have chosen UB as the place where they will enrich their minds, pursue their dreams, and forge friendships that will last a lifetime. Together, we make UB a truly vibrant and exciting community. The beginning of every academic year brings excitement, but in 2010-2011 we have several new initiatives and programs to celebrate. The Physician Assistant Institute and the Pre-Pharmacy partnership with the University of Connecticut have added energy to the already-lively Health Sciences Division. Even before their courses began, these two new programs had a waiting list of eager applicants. Students at the Shintaro Akatsu School of Design (SASD) will be opening a storefront in downtown Bridgeport, providing local businesses and individuals the opportunity to commission graphic design projects that will benefit the Neil Albert Salonen local business community as well as providing invaluable experience for our students.

Blue Crabs' Dan Reichert Is ALPB Pitcher of the Year
Blue Crabs' Dan Reichert Is ALPB Pitcher of the Year Posted by TBN On 10/04/2010 The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball has announced that Southern Maryland Blue Crabs right-hander Dan Reichert has been named the 2010 Atlantic League Pitcher of the Year. Reichert went a career best 18-9 this season, breaking the league record for wins in a single season. He also led the Atlantic League in innings pitched (189.0) and strikeouts (148), and tied for the league lead with 29 starts, a career high. Reichert set the single season wins record in a 7-2 Blue Crabs victory over the York Revolution on September 17 at Regency Furniture Stadium. His 18 wins surpassed the 17-4 record of Denny Harriger in 2006, who posted that mark for the Lancaster Barnstormers in their championship season. In order to break Harriger’s record, Reichert had to win each of his last three starts. At 15-9, he defeated the Newark Bears on September 7 at Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium, and then beat the Long Island Ducks on September 12 at Suffolk County Sports Park before earning the record-setting win in his final start five days later. Reichert’s most outstanding start came on June 19 at Long Island where he threw a complete game shutout in game one of a day/night doubleheader. He struck out 10 batters and led the Crabs to a 7-0 victory. The veteran was also named Atlantic League Pitcher of The Month for July, after posting a 3-1 record with a 2.46 ERA in five starts.
