Jammers Will Relocate to Morgantown, WV

August 25, 2014 By WRFA Radio Leave a Comment

jamestownjammersJAMESTOWN – The city of Jamestown may soon be without a professional baseball team.

On Saturday it was reported in the Charlston Gazette that the Jamestown Jammers minor league baseball team will be relocating to Morgantown, W.V. next season, to play in a new baseball stadium built at West Virginia University.

The Jammers have been in Jamestown since 1994 and spent a decade affiliated with the Miami Marlins before signing a player development contract with the Pirates on Sept. 18, 2012.

A press conference has been called to make the announcement at 4 p.m. Monday at the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown.

The Jammers are owned by Bob Rich Jr., owner of Rich Products Corp. Rich also owns the Buffalo Bisons and the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, a Class AA affiliate of the Blue Jays.

City officials have said that in order for Jamestown to remain a viable market for professional baseball, the community needs to come out and support the team. However, attendance this year has been extremely poor, with the Jammers having the lowest attendance of any team in the NY-Penn League – averaging less than 800 fans per home game.

Neither local officials with the Jammers or the city have yet to publicly comment on the news from West Virginia.
