Great BookBy CustomerWhen most people think about sports and North Carolina they think about college basketball or NASCAR. Both are very popular in the Old North State, but Minor League Baseball has a huge fan base here as well. Cradle to the Game is the ultimate minor league travel guide for North Carolina. Each team has a history, a breakdown of the stadium, and tips for food and lodging.I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I do enjoy attending a good minor league game every now and then. The atmosphere is so special, and Mr. Cryan seems to capture that in this book. I highly recommend it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. North Carolina Baseball Road Trip!By R. CryanAny baseball fan planning a summer trip through North Carolina would do well to bring this book along. The author spent a decade and a half working in baseball all over the state - in the Carolina League, the Coastal Plain League, and the Appalachian League.The book recounts North Carolina's rich baseball history, offers detailed descriptions of her grand old (and new) ballparks, and even provides information on food and lodging. The glory of North Carolina baseball. past and present. is richly detailed in the Second Edition of Cradle of the Game: Baseball and Ballparks in North Carolina. The comprehensive volume explores minor-league and leading college ballparks large and small. It will entertain readers interested in Tar Heel state baseball history, and serve as a guide to visitors of today’s ballparks.The Tar Heel State has a special place in the baseball world; it’s a place where affiliated teams play at almost every level — from rookie ball to Triple-A — and college players complete in the NCAA and the Coastal Plain League. In Cradle of the Game, their stories are richly told, with a chapter devoted to each of the teams competing the state.Author Mark Cryan has many years of North Carolina baseball experience, starting out in the business by working for legendary minor league executive Miles Wolff. Highlights of the book include interviews with Wolff, who talks about his involvement in making Bull Durham, as well as with legendary manager Jack McKeon, who reflects on life in the game.From Mark Cryan’s introduction:Today, crowds continue to gather to see history-rich teams like the Asheville Tourists and the Durham Bulls play in beautiful, modern facilities, teams like the Charlotte Knights and the Greensboro Grasshoppers bring baseball into revitalized urban centers, and cheer on amateur teams like the Edenton Steamers and Wilson Tobs in ballparks built before many of their fans were born.From the beautiful beaches of the Atlantic Coast to the rugged Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina prides itself on “having it all,” and surely the baseball fans of the region are blessed as well. With affiliated minor-league teams ranging from Rookie classification to Triple A and with four different minor leagues overlapping, North Carolina has a total of 9 professional teams, eight collegiate-level Coastal Plain League teams, and over a dozen Division I college programs. The national governing body also calls North Carolina home, with Cary hosting USA Baseball in a beautiful multi-field complex. That’s more baseball per capita than just about any state in the nation, and maybe the most baseball crazy place in the world outside of Latin America. A traveling fan in North Carolina need never go a night without a cold drink and a scorecard in his hands between March and September.This is the second edition of Cradle of the Game.From Miles Wolff, who wrote the Foreward to Cradle of the Game:Baseball—it’s been woven into the fabric of North Carolina for well over a century. In that time the state has undergone a remarkable transition from a poor rural state with textile mills and tobacco farms to a modern economy of high tech industry and growing cities. And yet, during this transformation, baseball has been a constant—part of the tapestry that makes this state unique.Mark Cryan’s book will give the reader a great picture of baseball in the Tar Heel state. He is well equipped to paint this picture, having been part of the baseball scene as an operator of several minor-league and summer-college teams over many years. Other states in the U.S. have strong baseball traditions, but North Carolina’s ties are unique, and Mark’s volume points out North Carolina’s special place in the baseball universe.

The Morehead City Marlins are a member of the Coastal Plain League, a summer college wood-bat baseball league with teams in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia. In 2021, the team will play a 50 game schedule from late May through early August (excluding playoffs), with at least 26 home games (excluding exhibitions) at Big Rock Stadium. The Marlins employ a small full-time staff led by the General Manager. Interns will thus perform integral duties over the course of the season, assisting in all areas of operation. The Marlins are looking for current undergraduates or graduate students in sport management, or related fields, that are serious about a career in professional or amateur team sports. If you are a successful candidate, you will get the opportunity to gain practical experience in multiple areas of team operations, including sales, marketing, promotions, stadium operations, ticketing, merchandising, media and public relations, and management. You will be working with Buddy Bengel, the owner of the Marlins, a veteran of the Coastal Plain League, and an important member of the Morehead City community. What does this mean to a potential intern? It means that Marlins management understands what skills and experience are needed to succeed in this business. You will be challenged with a variety of responsibilities designed not only to ensure the success of the Marlins in 2021, but also to impress hiring officials with teams, leagues, and organizations in the future.

We will continue to assess the situation and communicate with our fans, players and staff regarding ticketing policies and procedures, important safety measures and accessing Ting Stadium. The goal is to maintain as many games as possible. Questions about ticket exchanges: Single Tickets Single game tickets have not gone on sale to the general public as of April 29, but we will be releasing purchasing information in the coming weeks once the schedule has been announced and confirmed.

    2020 Summer Intern Opportunities

    2020 Summer Intern Opportunities The Asheboro Copperheads are members of the Coastal Plain League, a 15-team summer collegiate wooden bat baseball league sanctioned by both the NCAA and Major League Baseball, headquartered in the Raleigh, NC area, with teams located in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia. The league plays a 52-game regular season schedule with play beginning in late May and culminating with the league playoffs, which normally conclude in early August. The CPL has been in operation since 1997 and the Copperheads have been a member of the league since 1999. While the CPL is an amateur league, teams are operated under the National Association (Minor League) model used by MLB-affiliated and independent professional minor league teams. The Copperheads offer unpaid student internships during the season to college students.Through their respective schools and in conjunction with the Copperheads, students may receive academic credit for their internship duty. While students are not paid, housing will be arranged if needed at NO COST through the team’s host family program. Internships begin in mid- May, or as the student is available following the end of the school term, and run through early to mid-August depending upon the team’s participation in CPL post-season play. Interns may be asked to remain available for a couple of days following completion of play to assist with season-ending tasks if it does not interfere with the student’s return to school. Internship duties may include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Sales, Marketing & Merchandising - Stadium & Team Operations - Community & Media Relations (Print & Broadcast) Interns will be required to work a varied schedule and must be available for all home games (weekdays and weekends).
