Wow what an end to the season!

Good luck Prowlers!

Mar 18 2042: Gearing up for 2042 - by spenaat on August 25th, 2019

Falling short of the ploffs in the very last series of the 2041 season, the goal for the upcoming one is crystal clear.

Apart from cementing the roster, the management has been hard at work behind the scenes. The team, with their loyal support, had outgrown the public Weymouth Town Yards and new, purpose built facilities were needed. For the foreseeable future, the team will now prowl in the 22,000 seater Regatta Road.

Jan 15 2040: Relocate. Rebrand. Rebuild. - by spenaat on March 8th, 2019

The new brass has shown to be a man of his words.

The team formerly known as the Rome Gladiators, Stallions and Cavaliers has hiked up the Atlantic Coast first thing in the off-season, settling on the embankments of Weymouth Town, Massachusetts.

The shakeup didn't end with just the premiere team, but all the minors affiliate programs were given a complete do-over. The results of the rebrand are as follows:

Major League: Weymouth Town Prowlers
AAA: Middlefield Wendigos
AA: Plandome Manor Loons
A: Center Harbor Hellfish
RLA: Ashland Friars

Sporting a sleek new black and white look, it's clear that most, if not all, ties to both Rome, NY and the Italian baseball scene have been cut.

Aug 09 2039: Transfer of ownership and rebranding - by spenaat on February 13th, 2019

The Rome Stallions announced today a complete shakeup in the ownership. The most immediate result has been the rebranding of the team, now known as the Rome Cavaliers.

The new ownership apparently has grand rebuilding plans, and even hinted at potentially leaving the saturated New York baseball market in the near future.
