Children Pose with Alligator on Opening Day for Hagerstown Baseball Team

HAGERSTOWN, MD - It was an evening of fun for all, including local children who got the opportunity to pose with the new team mascot, Ally the Alligator.

Friday the newly renamed Hagerstown Gators baseball team lost 11 to 1 against Ashville, but the kids didn't mind the loss, as they still had a lot of fun.

"She's really friendly!" stated one child who was initially afraid of sitting on the team mascot, "she only snapped at me once, but I know she didn't really mean it!"

Ally the Alligator was previously at Hagerstown City Park to help with geese population control. However, with the dredging of city park, Ally was replaced with live piranhas, which, like Ally, have been specially trained to only eat geese.

The next Hagerstown Gators baseball game will be held at home, at 4:05 PM Eastern.

Hagerstown Gators Replacing Suns; to Begin Playing April 2018

HAGERSTOWN, MD - With the departure of the Hagerstown Suns in 2018 to become the Gilbertsville Zerns, Hagerstown has found a private baseball team to take their place.

In 2018, in honor of Hagerstown's newest mascot Ally the Alligator (currently residing in City Park), Hagerstown will have a new baseball team, the Hagerstown Gators.

"We look forward to our partnership with this new baseball team, and truly believe we can help them break their losing streak" stated one of the city council members.

The Gators, previously known as the Springville Lions, are currently in a 231 game losing streak across multiple seasons. The team's owner, Edward Burns, believes that the change in location may be exactly what the team needs.

As part of the move, The Hagerstown Report has become the exclusive licensee of Hagerstown Gators merchandise, which you can buy from our online store.

The Hagerstown Report wishes the Suns good luck, and welcomes the Hagerstown Gators in 2018!

The Suns aren't really leaving yet, but if we don't do something Hagerstown might lose baseball forever. The Hagerstown Report is satire.
