River Ave. Blues ยป Newark Bears fold

Newark Bears fold

October 25, 2008 by Mike 7 Comments

Hughes not sharp in Rising Stars effort
Willie's options

This isn’t exactly Yankees’ related, but it’s local and I’m sure people are interested. The Newark Bears of the independent Atlantic League have ceased operations and no longer exist, effective yesterday. Former Yankee Rick Cerone founded the team in 1998, and the Bears have had some notable alumni over the years including Rickey Henderson, Jose Lima and Jose Canseco. I don’t know the circumstances of the team’s folding, but I’m sure the recent economic crisis played a part. (h/t Robert Pimpsner)
