Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 - The following article was brought to my attention and is a must read! ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMER 25: Cape League, NBC Champs On Top Thursday, June 18, 2009 The 2009 summer college baseball season has been underway for the better part of three weeks for some leagues,and not even a week for others. Despite the staggered start, it seems apparent already that the powerful Cape Cod League will get a stiff challenge atop PGCrosschecker’s ranking of the nation’s top summer teams again from the California Collegiate League’s Santa Barbara Foresters, the reigning National Baseball Congress World Series champions. The Foresters (8-2) are ranked No. 2 in the summer’s first ranking of the top 25 summer-league clubs. The No.1 spot, not surprisingly, is occupied by a Cape League team, the newly-named Chatham Anglers, winners of their first three games this season. There’s no assurance that Chatham will continue its early pace in the highly-competitive Cape League , but the Foresters should stay in contention throughout, particularly with a pitching staff headed by Wichita State ace Tim Kelley and San Diego righthander A.J. Griffin, a Team USA pitcher in 2008. We’ll rank the top 25 teams every Wednesday from 20-plus leagues around the country, and here’s our early take on the top teams. Here is a link to the story! http://www.pgcrosschecker.com/Articles/DisplayArticle.aspx?article=1593
Congratulations the California Collegiate League, the Santa Barbara Foresters, and the SLO Rattlers staff and players!
