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.
