New Bedford wants to join
Cape Cod Baseball League
CCBL exploring
possible growth
options
By Kathleen Manwaring
kmanwaring@barnstablepatriot.com
With the season fast ap-
proaching, the Cape Cod
Baseball League is talking
about expanding.
Making a strong play for
the addition of a CCBL team
for their city isNew Bedford.
According to the New Bed-
f ord Standard-Times , Mayor
Scott W Lang is pursuing
the creation of an expansion
team.
Chuck Sturtevant, chair-
person of the CCBL expan-
sion committee acknowl-
edged that talksabout expan-
sion in general are under way
and that a full report will be
presented to the executive
board on April 5. "There are
manypros and cons to expan-
sion,"he said. "It would be of
significant cost to the league.
We are looking into further
fact-finding.We as a commit-
tee need more direction from
the executive board."
Should theexecutiveboard
seriously consider the mat-
ter of expansion, it would
mean adding two teams to
the league to balance the
roster. "Unless we had two
towns that wanted teams,
we couldn't do it," said Stur-
tevant.
In support of the proposed
expansionisJohn Wylde,gen-
eralmanager of the Wareham
Gatemen. Wylde, a member
of the league's five-person
expansion committee, feels
the expansion makes sense
because of New Bedford's
size and fan base. "There is
a wonderful evolving market
here,"he said."It would seem
to me that it would be in the
best interest of the league to
take advantage of it."
The Gatemen have agreed
to play one of their games
thissummer at WalshField in
New Bedford ,where the pro-
posed team would play. The
field isalready equipped with
lights, a concession stand
and a sound system, definite
pluses for accommodating a
new team.
A potential drawback of
expanding the league to
include New Bedford would
be the long travel time that
teams from the Lower Cape
would face. Also in question
is whether the league should
expand to include towns not
truly considered to be part
of Cape Cod. "I suppose you
could say that Warehamisn't
part of Cape Cod either,"
said Wylde. "But they have a
pretty long history with the
Cape league."
Other locationsunder con-
sideration are Sandwich,
Mashpee and Plymouth.
Mashpee and Plymouth are
said to have established
groupsthat haveput together
expansion proposals for sub-
mission to the league.
The Cape Cod Baseball
League , founded in 1885,
has sent nearly 200 players
to the major leagues,includ-
ing Boston Red Sox catcher
Jason Varitek.

Brain Turnbull, Nicholas
Cantella, James Canon and
Martin Zampa set a school
record in the 4 x 200 relay in
winter track.
In gymnastics, Melissa
Bowe set the bar high with
a record-setting 9.625 on
the uneven bars. Allison
Szatek set school records
with a 9.80 on the floor, a
9.625 on the beam, and an
all-around score of 38.20.
Casey Ostrander ruled
the pool, setting records in
the 50 freestyle with 25.16
