New Navigators Mascot Unveiled

From the Navs website:

"The Mascot Alligator, still unnamed, threw out first pitch at Lynn Shore LL, marched in the Wyoma LL parade and visited the Capital Diner, then Ricky Ford's place in West Lynn and finally City Hall on Saturday."

Here's some pics of the new mascot......

Anybody got name ideas?

In other news.....see the post below. It's concerning a trip to Worcester later on this month.....

Good article in the Item about the Navigators

Rosenfield takes in baseball Beanpot tourney at Fraser Field

By Steve Krause / The Daily Item
LYNN -- After a fall and a winter of planning for the inaugural season of the North Shore Navigators, owner Phil Rosenfield finally got to see a baseball game at Fraser Field Wednesday.

And it was right up his alley.

The City of Lynn, for the third straight year, hosted the first round of the annual Beanpot Baseball Tournament (the finals will be held next Wednesday at Fenway Park). And since the Navigators will feature an exclusive array of college talent, the games Wednesday dovetailed nicely with Rosenfield's game plan.

"This is great for us," he said, "because these are the type of players we'll be having in here this summer."

Actually, this was the first time Rosenfield has seen a game here since the field -- and neighboring Manning Field -- were done over.

"It's impressive," Rosenfield said. "Of course, I remember the old Manning Bowl, and to look out and see what it looks like now ... it really looks nice."

Rosenfield also said that he puts the refurbished Fraser Field up with the best baseball fields in the state.

"Of course," he said, "there's Fenway, and then Worcester, and Campanelli (in Brockton), LeLacheur (Lowell) and this. It's going to be fun playing here. As an owner, knowing that we're going to provide all this entertainment for families, I think it's pretty neat."

Rosenfield hopes to do quite a bit more than field a baseball team. He hopes to make the field available for high school tournament games from the first round all the way up to the state semifinals. His team will play exhibition games against both Team USA and the Dominican Republic national team. There will be four fireworks displays in June and July, all on Saturday nights.

Between games of the Beanpot (Boston College downed Northeastern, 13-6, in the opener), Rosenfield also unveiled the plaque that will sit on the big rock just inside the Western Avenue entrance at Fraser. He also took the opportunity to introduce one of the players who will wear a Navigators uniform this summer: BC's Chris Kowalski, a pitcher and a first baseman.

"I asked him if he ever was called 'Killer' (after the pro wrestler who was famous in the '60s) and he said, 'All the time,'" Rosenfield said. "Even his coach, after the game, said to him, 'Hey, Killer, you have five minutes with these guys.'"

Rosenfield said that efforts to house the players are going well ("thanks to ads we've placed in The Item"), and that "We're about halfway there. We just had a family offer to take in two more today."

Navigators Exciting New Initiatives

Hey y'all - I'm checking in with some exciting news from the Navigators.

We are looking into doing something that the Spirit should have done: creating a section for diehard fans who want to be loud and supportive of the Navigators. We are trying to come up with a name for the section now and figure out exactly how it's going to work, but the general idea is to create one centralized place where people are encouraged to be loud, heckle the opposition, and cheer on the Navigators to victory. We are trying to recruit local students and other enthusiastic fans to join us. If you are interested in this idea, please let me know by commenting here or emailing me at gravellj@bc.edu.

.

Since we believe that fan interaction is the most important element to success, I am setting up an AOL IM name tomorrow where anyone can contact me to ask questions about the Navigators. If you have questions or comments for the owner, the general manager, the ticket office, etc., I can pass them along to the appropriate party. The IM name will probably be "NSNAVS," depending on availability. I will post tomorrow when I set it up officially.

.

Exciting news: on June 14, the Navigators will be playing against the United States National Team as they gear up for the 2008 Olympic Games in China. You do NOT want to miss this one.

Also, I can't make any promises, but it looks like opening night on Saturday, June 7 will also be a fireworks night. I'll post when I know for sure.

.

As you can tell, I "sold out" by putting an ad on this page. I'm a college student so I'll take whatever little bit of income I can get. Please support our sponsor. It's an exciting web forum called 'We're Doing Just Fine' - a site dedicated to sharing upbeat, positive stories.
