We want baseball... it's that simple.
Káiámát news three sports director á kaleb gillock á joins us á and he had a chance to talk with one of the area teams whose season hasn't been impacted by the coronavirus.
Yeah á the northwoods league says it is preparing for the upcoming season as usual... fortunately for them it's still two months out.
Jeremy aagard á the general manager á for the rochester honkers told me he is looking for another exciting year at mayo field.xxx i think it's just an opportunity that people are realizing that it's so much more than baseball, it's an opportunity for a night of entertainment with the on field promotions, with the different theme nights, even if you're not a baseball fan á there's something here that you're going to enjoy.
Under new ownership á the rochester honkers had a year for the record books in 2019... seeing an increase in attendance.
The boys of summer hope to return to the field in two months and keep the momentum going.
For now, the season is still on á but deskaheh bomberry... aka bomber... the teams new field manager is a little aprehensive.
Major league baseball is not going to be starting anytime soon and i have a hard time seeing amateur summer leagues starting before them and i could be wrong obviously.
Nevertheless á the northwoods league is preparing for business as usual.
With the college season being canceled recruiting is easier than it's ever been.
Because guys want to play.
They missed out on a bunch of games and they're anxious to play.
Every guy i've talked to since this all happened has been super excited about actually getting to play.
Players aren't the only ones who should be excited... the fans should be too.
The honkers have another big lineup of on field promotions, theme nights, and some of the best firework shows you'll see.
They hope the hot summer nights of baseball season become the light at the end of the tunnel.
You know our main hope is for a safe and healthy community but we hope we're that light at the end of the tunnel when
