I hope to see a bunch of local baseball fans at Game On! tonight (Thursday, April 26) when our Atlantic City Surf host their annual “Meet the Manager” event. The shindig starts at 7pm and the ultra cool sports bar on the Pier at Caesars is the perfect locale to get the season started. The Surf has a lot of new stuff on tap, from a new manager, Cris Carminucci, to a new general manager, Brendan Fairfield. Of course the team has also switched leagues going from the Atlantic League to the Canadian-American Association (Can-Am) League. Former manager Jeff Ball has been kicked upstairs as assistant GM. Surf marketing director and AC Weekly columnist Chuck Betson will be announcing the special events the Surf have planned for the 2007 season at Bernie Robbins Stadium which will be the club’s 10th anniversary in Atlantic City.
The Surf opens its 10th season on May 24 at home, 7:05pm, vs. the Grays, the Can-Am League’s road team. Tickets can be obtained by calling 609-344-7873.
