Oneonta Tigers move to Norwich, CT

On one hand, it's good for me, because I have a shorter drive to see the Cyclones, but it's sad that yet another small town is losing a NY/Penn league team... http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news ... &fext=.jsp

We've been to little Damaschke Field in Oneonta three times. We planned our first three visits to Cooperstown to coincide with Oneonta home games. Back in 1982 we watched a strapping young right fielder for the Oneonta Yankees who went on to have a Hall of Fame career. Fella name of Elway.

The Norwich Navigators moved? I went to one of their games once against the Red Sox AA team. Hanley Ramirez hit a home run and made an error in the field.

The Gators weren't the Gators any more... they became the Connecticut Defenders (owing to the area's submarine heritage) a few years ago. I hope the O-Tigers take the Defender name and keep the logo, because I need to buy a new CD hat.

Sad for upstate NY. This happened when I lived in Watertown, they lost a rookie league Indians affiliate. It sucks for those folks who are local and were regulars.

Leaves Brook's Chicken the only reason to go to Oneonta (I ain't googlin' it but I guess they got a soccer hof there or something too). I'd go to Norwich to watch the Cyclones for a weekend game. Got friends in Westerly RI which is pretty close to impose on for accommodations. We should think about mini forum outings ... Brooklyn, Renegades, and Norwich now.

If I recall, Oneonta is where I had the best burger of my life, something like 15 years ago when I went to the Baseball Hall of Fame for the first time.
