Lee. Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 They seem to have gotten their caps from the team store just seconds before the game. I'm surprised none of them have the kids' EXTREME caps on. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Right after the game they're going to the company picnic and golf tournament.Which will be BYOEverything.Edit: It appears they were wearing this cap on the field. Must have been what they had the most overstock of at the team store kiosk in Gurnee.

Brian in Boston Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 More info from the Fielders-Flyers pre-season game...* Team officials announced that 6,000 tickets were distributed for the ball-game, though the turnstile count was 7.* The Lake County Fielders' uniforms were part of a tribute to The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings. Proceeds from ticket sales and concessions were to be donated towards efforts to digitally remaster the 1976 comedic sports film. The game's organizers had hoped that Billy Dee Williams and James Earl Jones, who co-starred in the film, would participate in the game's ceremonial first-pitch. However, a spokesperson for Rich Ehrenreich said that the actors were "unable to attend due to prior commitments". Instead, along with their respective lineup cards, the field managers for the Fielders and the host Schaumburg Flyers delivered a can of Colt 45 Malt Liquor and a commemorative Darth Vader Mr. Potato Head to the home-plate umpire.* A cardboard cut-out of Kevin Costner went 1-for-3 and was hit by a pitch in four plate appearances for the Fielders. Defensively, it went untested in right field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Meant to post this earlier - I drove through Zion on the way back from Wisconsin last Friday, and took a picture of the Fielders' new stadium.The picture doesn't give you the full experience of the thriving "ballpark district" surrounding it, though. On the northeast corner of 173 and Green Bay, where the ballpark is, there's a CVS.On the southwest corner, there's a gas station.On the southeast corner, there's an empty strip mall, and a yet-to-be-completed gas station.On the northwest corner, there's a discount cigarette shack.Also, every major road within at least a 1-mile radius is only 2 lanes, so there's plenty of infrastructure to bring in those 8,000 fans per game.

The_Admiral Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Excellent work. Thanks. http://www.suburbanc.../sports/2295538,5_2_WA20_FIELD_S1-100520.articleLatest bad reporting from the Fielders' business partners. They seem disturbingly confident that their sod can take well enough in three weeks to play baseball on it, which goes against pretty much everything I thought they'd been saying. The infrastructure is going to be a nightmare if they have nothing but two-lane roads and an off-site gravel parking lot; having one cop wave people through a crosswalk doesn't make it okay. I'm generally wary of investors who can't be named. It's pretty sad to watch this team keep taking advantage of stupid people. Ehrenreich and his cronies "doing business" with Zion is like the cool 4th grader and his friends beating up 1st graders in the reading-disabled class. The inequity is that bad. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Meant to post this earlier - I drove through Zion on the way back from Wisconsin last Friday, and took a picture of the Fielders' new stadium.Well....at least they've demarcated the property.(I assume that's what the falling over not-fence represents. It'd be really bad if the overgrown lot next to it was supposed to be the ballpark. Or the "parking lot".)

Sodboy13 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 On the plus side, at least this confirms they have a set of jerseys other than the gray ones they've worn for every public function. Wonder if they were still wearing those absurd off-the-rack pinstripe hats.

walby2 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I was at game two of their series with Winnipeg. The Fielders have played surprisingly well - I expected complete disarray on their part given the way things have unfolded for them.Anyway, their look is strictly beer league. The maroon jersey, blue pant and black hat is no better in person. But really, I'd say it's the least of their problems right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 That's the funniest thing about this whole deal. Even though everything around them is clown college, they're remarkably solid when it comes to baseball operations. EDIT: Just saw this on their facebook group, copying here for posterity because they're gonna baleet it:Can someone let me know when the Fielders are going to pay year old invoices? Any other vendors having trouble getting paid?I can't get anyone to get back to me but my company is out a substantialamount of money for goods used to promote and sell to fans that we ...delivered........wait for it......a year ago!Any advice? Please email me here -- with advice or updates. We will blog the experience in the coming days if you are interested in receiving that link - please email me. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
