Blue Crabs Baseball
I wrote about the Potomac Nationals, one of DC’s minor league pro baseball teams last month. And yet another new minor league team, the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs minor league baseball are now playing their first season in Southern Maryland.
The Blue Crabs are the sixth non-MLB pro baseball team in the Washington, DC area, for baseball fans to follow.
The others include the Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, Frederick Keys, the Hagerstown Suns, and Bowie Baysox.
Owned by Orioles Hall of Famer, Brooks Robinson, the Blue Crabs are one of the eight teams in the independent Atlantic League. Other teams include:
- Bridgeport Bluefish
- Camden Riversharks
- Lancaster Barnstormers
- Long Island Ducks
- Newark Bears
- Somerset Patriots
- York Revolution
Playing at the new Regency Furniture Stadium, with a seating capacity of 4,500 plus lots of outfield lawn seating, should make a Crab’s game an relaxing baseball experience.
Managed by Butch Hobson, who spent three seasons managing the Boston Red Sox (1992-94), the team will play 70 home games.
