Community-focused Bears start season Thursday night against Worcester Tornadoes
The Newark Bears had one final tune-up Wednesday afternoon before Opening Day and the start of their 15th season. The opponent however wasn't another team of professionals or a future opponent in the CanAm League the Bears participate in. Instead, it was the baseball team of Newark Tech High School. While it was merely an exhibition, the event was just the latest example of how the Bears are not just trying to be a winning team on the field but a part of the Newark community. "I think it's very important," said new Bears manager Ken Oberkfell about having that relationship with the city.

The New York Yankees are usually the favorites during baseball season and its hometown rival—the Mets—end up being the hopeful stepsister each spring. But this season, it seems the pinstriped champs have lost some of their lustre. With the New York Mets 4-2 record, the team started off with a powerful season after losing free agent National League batting average leader, Jose Reyes. The Yankees have a 4-3 record, but have not shown the pitching prowess that they've invested in. The Mets hit the road this weekend for a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies and the Yankees are playing against Albert Pujols and the Angels at Yankee Stadium. Though the season has a long way to go, it isn't too soon to cast your vote on which will…

I've been a fan since the first day! I was disappointed last night to see that the crowd was sparse at the opening game. It is a fun, inexpensive way to entertain the family. The team really played! They won 9-2 and it looks like a great team. Come on Newark and surrounding areas . . . . . . . . . support your hometown team!!!!!!! more ›
