More old Newark Bears pocket schedules
Earlier this year, I showed you some of the Newark Bears pocket schedules I’ve picked up over the years. This weekend, I was able to acquire a few that I didn’t have from 2003 and 2004 – including one that shows Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson from his days as a Bear.
Newark Bears Notebook: Who’s the best player in team history?
The Newark Bears played in the Atlantic League for 12 seasons, and will begin their second in the Can-Am League this May.
