Béisbol Doble A: Listos los nuevos Grises de Humacao
Los Nuevos Grises de Humacao se Preparán para la Temporada 2017 del Béisbol AA
El pasado lunes, 6 de febrero, en entrevista radial, con el periodista, Emilio Pérez, en el programa Buffet Deportivo, a través de WALO Radio Oriental, el apoderado de los Nuevos Grises de Humacao del Béisbol Superior Doble A, Ricardo Fernández dio cuenta de las últimas noticias de la legendaria franquicia, que finalizaron como campeones de esta sección en la fase regular y como subcampeones de la sección sureste en la pasada temporada.
Fernández informó en cuanto a los cambios, que recibieron desde Gurabo a Luis Montañez, este jugó campo corto y tercera base en Gurabo, tiene buen bateo y obviamente viene a ayudar a fortalecer el área del infield. El consenso de los dirigentes es que estará defendiendo la tercera base. También desde Río Grande a Javier “Deportivo” Rivera, complementan los cambios que se han hecho este año y la venidera temporada. No se vislumbran más cambios, para así aplacar rumores. El equipo es básicamente el mismo, sólo estas dos adiciones de peloteros de poder y que batean.
La entrega de uniformes se llevará a cabo el próximo jueves, 16 de febrero en el vestíbulo frente a la Cooperativa Oriental del Centro Comercial Pueblo, desde las 6 de la tarde. Los uniformes son alusivos al pueblo, algo totalmente diferente a lo hecho anteriormente. El viernes 3 de marzo, se comienza la temporada local en el Estadio Julio “Yuyo” Salomón Cora del barrio Candelero Arriba, ya que la Administración Municipal y su alcalde, Marcelo Trujillo Panisse están remodelando el Estadio Néstor Morales, poniéndolo en óptimas condiciones y haciéndolo con la calidad que merece Humacao como ciudad. Los primeros 4 juegos de la novena son en la carretera, tarea que no es fácil.
Humacao es uno de las franquicias que más jugadores de su pueblo tienen, entre 10 y 12 jugadores, entre ellos 4 colegiales. Gracias al trabajo que se hace en las categorías menores, Humacao tiene una cantera grande de peloteros, no tan solo en Humacao, también en la liga entera.
Finalmente el apoderado de los Nuevos Grises de Humacao anunció que Ernesto “Guachito” Ortiz, es el nuevo dirigente del equipo.
“Puedo asegurar que este equipo va a llegar a la final de la sección otra vez. Quiero agradecer a la Administración Municipal de Humacao, el alcalde, Marcelo Trujillo, al Administrador Municipal, Luis Raúl Sánchez y al Director de Recreación y Deportes, Samuel “Sammy” Flecha Díaz, por preocuparse por tenernos un gran parque y en complacer todas nuestras peticiones. El estacionamiento del Yuyo Cora va a estar bien alumbrado, va a tener presencia de la policía, es decir más seguridad para que nuestra fanaticada se sienta segura. Así que de la manera que viene este equipo para esta temporada, no hay excusa para que el fanático se quede en casa, deben llenar el parque toda la temporada” expresó Ricardo Fernández.

MILWAUKEE BUCKS PURCHASE NBA DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE TEAM
– Team to Debut in 2017-18 Season at New Arena in Oshkosh, Wisconsin –
NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2017 – The Milwaukee Bucks and the NBA Development League announced today that the Bucks have acquired the right to own and operate an NBA D-League team that will begin play in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, for the 2017-18 season.
As part of the deal, Fox Valley Pro Basketball, led by Greg Pierce, will be constructing a new 3,500-seat arena for the new minor league team. With the purchase, the Bucks become the 20th NBA team to own and operate an NBA D-League affiliate, while the NBA D-League grows to a record 25 teams for next season.
“NBA teams are increasingly recognizing the NBA D-League’s value in providing opportunities to players, coaches and front office executives,” said NBA D-League President Malcolm Turner. “A record two-thirds of NBA teams now own an NBA D-League affiliate, and I’m excited to welcome Wes Edens, Marc Lasry, Jamie Dinan and the Bucks to that list.”
“Our ownership group has been steadfast in its commitment to both build a championship-caliber basketball program and develop stronger partnerships with fans and communities throughout the state of Wisconsin,” said Bucks co-owner Wes Edens. “We’re thrilled to announce this partnership with the City of Oshkosh, Greg Pierce and his team, and the incredible basketball fans throughout the Fox Valley. This new team will be an invaluable resource for our basketball staff and an incredible vehicle for connecting with Wisconsin’s passionate sports fans.”
The new arena for the Bucks’ NBA D-League team is expected to anchor the newly designated “Sawdust District” located near Pioneer Drive Park along the shore of Lake Winnebago.
“I believe that Oshkosh’s Central City is on the verge of a renaissance,” said Oshkosh Mayor Steve Cummings. “The Bucks’ selection of Oshkosh as its location for their D-League team reinforces our reputation as a great place to work, play and learn. The new arena will be the cornerstone of a revived central city that will attract visitors and greater development opportunities to Oshkosh.”
“When we pitched this idea, the Fox Valley’s response was so immediate and enthusiastic, we knew this would be the ideal location for the team to expand,” said Greg Pierce of Fox Valley Pro Basketball. “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Building a new arena, bringing the Sawdust District vision to life and expanding the sports and entertainment options in our region will have a transformative impact on our community.”
Fans interested in securing tickets for the inaugural season of NBA D-League action in the Fox Valley can reserve their seats online at www.foxvalleybasketball.com. Visitors to the site are also encouraged to submit ideas for the official team name, which will be announced in the coming months.
As part of today’s announcement, the Bucks are also welcoming BMO Harris Bank as the first official sponsor of the new NBA D-League team. A longtime partner of the Bucks, BMO Harris Bank operates nearly 200 branches in the state of Wisconsin, including 12 in the Fox Valley.
More than 75 NBA players have been assigned to the NBA D-League for development or rehabilitation this season, including half of the players selected in NBA Draft 2016 presented by State Farm. In total, more than 40 percent of the last five NBA Draft classes have honed their skills in the NBA D-League.
Two current Bucks players, Khris Middleton and Rashad Vaughn, have NBA D-League experience. In total, the Bucks have assigned 10 players since the 2005-06 season, the first when NBA teams were able to send players to the NBA D-League.
