Lake Erie Crushers

Zach Krantz and Randy Newell were our speakers today from the Lake Erie Crushers baseball team in Avon Ohio. The Lake Erie Crushers are members of the Frontier Baseball league an independent league of 12 teams. The league has an age limit of 27 unlike other independent leagues. Many of the players have minor league experience and are trying to get back with affiliated minor league team. The tickets prices are inexpensive and the team offers a fan friendly environment. Not to mention the team is doing well unlike the Major league team to the East :). Many of our members had great questions for Zach and Randy and I think I can safely say we would invite them back anytime to be our guests.
