Lakewood BlueClaws

With Lakewood BlueClaws Baseball season starting,

Whether you’re a big fan or not certainly we can agree that baseball of all the major pro sports is one steeped in tradition and was part of the fabric of America long before football, basketball and hockey.

Opening season is just days away for Philadelphia Phillies minor league baseball affiliate Lakewood BlueClaws.

Auditions and job fairs are being held within the next two weeks for thousands of seasonal job openings in Ocean County.

Baseball might be the national pastime, but vegetarian dishes could soon be the national food if the offerings at baseball games are any indication.

Peanuts, Crackerjacks, hot dogs.  All staples of the ball game.  As a nutrition-conscious America looks for more healthy menu options when dining out, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey and the Lakewood BlueClaws are teaming up to bring smarter eating choices to America's pastime.

He's Asbury Park born and bred, and now lives with his growing family in Brick Township. It's been a long,steady climb to the top for Brandon Marano, but he never had to leave home to get there as he becomes General Manager of the Lakewood BlueClaws.

I first met Geoff Brown in November of 1999 when he was introduced as General Manager of what would be a new minor league baseball team in Lakewood.  At that time the team did not have a name or even a stadium and they were working out of temporary offices in the Lakewood Industrial Park.

The general manager of the Lakewood BlueClaws has resigned to become the chief marketing officer for Rutgers' athletic department.
