THE STORM

Rochester, NY 28+ League
TEAM NAME The Storm, ex-Spinners, ex-Storm, ex-Bulldogs
HOME FIELD Fairport High Acres
TEAM HISTORY Formed out of the smoking hulk that was once the near-Champ, "original" Bulldogs, The Storm have gone on to become one of our steadiest teams.  Since reaching the Championships a number of years ago, The Storm have battled the mediocrity bug with annual .500-esque performances...but anyone who plays them knows they can beat anyone on any particular day, always playing hard and and always enjoying the great game of baseball.  A great group of guys who genuinely enjoy each other's company and always one big hitter away from contending for the title!

In 2006, the Storm voted to rename the team, The Spinners, as part of the BoSox farm club's "Yankees Elimination Program".  Receiving several mentions in the national media, the Rochester Spinners will be a proverbial study in contrasts this season as the team is made up of a majority of Yanks fans!...and now for 2007, we're back to being the Storm!
