Niagara Snappers 20th Anniversary Celebration

October 11, 2018

---

Niagara Falls ON,

 

With the 2018 Fastball schedule coming to an end, it concludes 20 seasons for the Niagara Snappers.  It honestly feels like a lifetime ago when we started this team and over the last couple of seasons, we began to compile an all-time list of the pitchers/players who dawned the Snapper Turtle over the years.  We think we have them all!  If we forgot anyone, apologizes in advance.  We would also like to offer a sincere thank you to every single one of them for their role in our success.   Here is a look back and a listing of the men who wore the jersey since 1999.

                                                                      

PITCHERS (in no particular order): Jay Paylove, Perry Bartley, Todd Bobinski, Wayne Bobinksi, Shane Newson, Dwayne Curtis, Kyle Jamieson, Steve Cook, Scott Young, Mike Bateman, Brian Dorrington, Jamie Simpson, Andy Hicks, Dan Duemo, Byron Demoe, Rob Fawcett, Dan Konkle, Corey Costello, Wayne Wells, Rob O’Brien, Don Scott, Rob Scott, Tim Neil, Jim Wilson, Tom Berube, Scott Wagar, Andy Jackson, Brian Belisle, Andrew Phibbs, Kyle Linton, Kevin Newhouse, Peter Dobbin, Matt Lyon, Chris Vanvolkenberg, Corey Griffiths, Dan Martin, Brad Robinson, Greg Garrity, Adam Cronin, Bill Hillhouse, Ian Wallwork, Wolfgang Walther,  Vinny Hill, Jarod Burtt, Ron Webb, Dan Edholm, Doug Hoffman, Clayton Robinson, Pat Ryan Jr., Craig Scott and James Darby.

 

That’s 51 pitchers over a 20-year period.  Some carried more of a load than others but regardless of the number of innings logged, all of them have our unwavering gratitude.
