Minor League Mondays: 2008 Southern Maryland Blue Crabs
In 2008, the independent Atlantic League introduced a new team in Southern Maryland, which at the time was the southern-most franchise in the league. Playing their home games at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf, the Blue Crabs finished their inaugural season with a 74-66 record under manager Butch Hobson. Former New York Mets and New [...]
Minor League Mondays: 2011 Southern Maryland Blue Crabs DAV baseball card set
The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs are one of eight teams in the independent Atlantic League. I saw them play their first game in 2008 and I have a complete run of their baseball cards, so I decided to get this set even though I mostly stopped following the league once the Newark Bears left it [...]
Keeping Score: An Atlantic League No-Hitter
I meant to post this last week, on the anniversary of the only no-hitter I’ve ever seen live. But then I forgot. So here we go, one week late: On Aug. 4th, 2010 I saw Southern Maryland Blue Crabs pitchers Joe Newby and Jim Ed Warden combine to no-hit a Newark Bears lineup that included [...]

Game #37: A no-hitter! Blue Crabs 3, Bears 1
I’ve always wanted to see a no-hitter. I’ve never seen one live on television, much less been in the ballpark. Wednesday night, I got my wish… just not exactly the way I wanted it. I wasn’t sure if I was even going to the Newark Bears game until it was time to head over to [...]
Game #19: Blue Crabs 8, Bears 3
Today was a beautiful sunny day, ideal for spending the afternoon at a ballpark. Too bad the most interesting part of the day was getting to talk to former Bears third baseman Mike Just, who stopped by the ballpark to visit with some of his old teammates. Neither team accomplished much in the first three [...]
