The
Lancaster Barnstormers
are an Atlantic League team based in
Lancaster, PA
. Since the 2005 season, they have played in the South Division of the
Atlantic League
.
The team plays at
Clipper Magazine Stadium
on the northwestern side of the city. Baseball fans in Lancaster waited for 44 years for another baseball team since the
Lancaster Red Roses
folded after the 1961 season. In 2003, Lancastrians chose the name Barnstormers over Red Roses in a name-the-team contest. The name "
Barnstormers
" refers to the act of "barnstorming" which, means
to travel around an area appearing in exhibition sports events, especially baseball games
. Lancaster County's farmland hosted many of these exhibition games during the early 1900s. The name also refers to the numerous farms in the surrounding county, many of which are Amish.
Butch Hobson
is currently the the team's manager.
The Barnstormers also employed another former Major Leaguer,
Rick Wise
, as the pitching coach. He was the winning pitcher for the
Boston Red Sox
in Game 6 of the
1975 World Series
. Other than his experience with the Red Sox, he pitched for the
Cleveland Indians
,
Philadelphia Phillies
, the
San Diego Padres
, and the
St. Louis Cardinals
.
