First National announces field renovation winner

Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.

BELOIT — First National Bank and Trust, in conjunction with the Beloit Sky Carp, are proud to announce the recipient of the first annual local Little League field renovation.

After all submissions were tallied, a committee of representatives from both First National Bank and the Beloit Sky Carp chose the winning field. For year one of the program, the main goal was to renovate the field that would have the most impact on the local community.

The committee is pleased to announce that field #2 from the Stateline Family YMCA Youth Sports Complex was chosen. The local YMCA serves thousands of people in the community. Renovating this field will increase safety and help beautify the Complex.

“Our partnership as the Exclusive Bank for the Beloit Sky Carp allows First National Bank and Trust the opportunity to engage in great community outreach programs such as this little league field renovation,” said David McCoy, President and CEO of FNBT. “By helping to update the Stateline Family YMCA Sports Complex, we will support area youth and the YMCA’s mission of strengthening our community family by providing an opportunity for everyone to learn, grow, and thrive, which aligns with FNBT’s mission of helping all our families succeed.”

The winning field was selected among several other deserving local candidates. As part of this process, the Beloit Sky Carp will be drafting a plan for renovation and sharing that plan with each of the other facilities. The goal is to ensure all of the runners-up in the contest know how to improve their fields as well,

“We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to impact so many kids,” Sky Carp President Zach Brockman said. “First National Bank and Trust has stepped up to help us fulfill the mission of improving the quality of life in the people in our community.”

Stateline Family YMCA CEO Ann Hankins was excited to see the process take place.

“The Stateline Family YMCA is thrilled to have been picked by the Sky Carp and First National Bank and Trust for a field renovation to Field 2 at our YMCA Sports Complex.,” Hankins said. “Every day, the YMCA works to help youth and families learn, grow and thrive. This same dedication shown by the Sky Carp and First National Bank and Trust will provide a top-notch field where kids not only learn the fundamentals of their sport but also teamwork and other critical life skills. The YMCA is grateful for this incredible investment in the youth of our community.”

Work on the project is expected to begin on October 11th and be completed by the following day.

Power Hitter, Prince Fielder, Leads Top Black Players In Beloit Baseball History

Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.

In celebration of Black History Month, throughout the month of February, teams across Minor League Baseball are taking a look back at five of the best Black players to suit up for their club.

While some of these standout performers went on long and illustrious Major League careers, others simply had great Minor League careers or, in some cases, just one incredible season that went down as “a year for the ages.”

Here is a look at five of the best Black baseball players ever to suit up in Beloit’s 40-year history.

PRINCE FIELDER

Less than two months after first baseman Prince Fielder was chosen by the Milwaukee Brewers as the seventh overall pick in 2002 – straight out of high school in Melbourne, Fla. – he already leaped a classification to play for the former Beloit Snappers in the Midwest League.

In 32 games during the second half of the 2002 season, he batted .241 with 11 RBI and three homers. But the following year in Beloit was Fielder’s ascension into stardom. It would lead to following his father, 13-year MLB veteran Cecil Fielder, into the big leagues.

With father and son sharing an apartment in Beloit, Prince Fielder exploded in 2003 with a .313 batting average and .526 slugging percentage in 137 games. He bashed 27 homers, 22 doubles and drove in 112 runs during his 594 plate appearances. It became his best full-season numbers of his minor league career.

He was part of the 2004 Futures Game while in Double-A.

In 2005, he made his debut with the Brewers. That launched an MLB career that included being a six-time MLB All-Star and his name placed on the Hall of Fame ballot in 2021 for the first time, after retiring in 2016.

GREG VAUGHN

After being drafted for the fifth different time, this time by the Brewers as the fourth overall pick in 1986 as a college player for the Miami Hurricanes, Vaughn played the entire 1987 season in Beloit.

He posted his best numbers with Beloit of his minor league career, batting .305 in 139 games with a team record 33 homers and 105 RBI. He also scored a then-record 120 runs. The team back then was the Beloit Brewers as Milwaukee’s Class A affiliate.

He collected 150 hits in 492 at-bats, along, including 31 doubles and 36 stolen bases. It equated into a .594 slugging percentage and 1.018 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage).

Following that 1987 season, Vaughn was named Midwest League co-MVP. Two years later, Vaughn began his 15-year MLB career. In 1993, he became the first Beloit player to play in an MLB All-Star Game.

RICKIE WEEKS JR.

Though he played just 20 games for the Beloit Snappers in 2003, Rickie Weeks Jr. left quite an impression.

Weeks became the second overall pick by the Brewers in the 2003 draft, following his sterling college career at Southern University. Prior to becoming a pro, Weeks was named Baseball America College Player of the Year in 2003 and winner of Golden Spikes Award as top amateur player.

Primarily a second baseman, Weeks collected 22 hits in 63 at-bats with Beloit in 2003, including eight doubles and 16 RBI, along with 15 walks for a .349 average, .556 slugging percentage and 1.050 OPS. Later that season, Weeks made his MLB debut with the Brewers on Sept. 15, 2003.

*Nicknamed “Slick,” Weeks became an MLB All-Star in 2011 with the Brewers. He later played for the Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks and Tampa Bay Rays before retirement. *

BILL HALL

After two years in Rookie League, Bill Hall played his first full, minor-league season in 2000 with Beloit. He batted .262 with 30 doubles and 41 RBI for the Beloit Brewers.

That season led into him making his major league debut with the Milwaukee Brewers on Sept. 1, 2002. He has distinction of playing for six different teams in an 11-year MLB career.

In September 2019, seven years after his last MLB game, the Brewers signed Hall to a one-day contract which enabled him to retire as a Brewer. It was Hall’s wish to do so, crediting the Brewers for giving him the opportunity to play pro baseball as a kid from a small country town in Nettleton, Mississippi.

Hall was a sixth round pick by the Brewers in 1998 out of high school in Nettleton, Miss. He wound up being a solid utility player in the big leagues, playing three different infield positions (third base, shortstop, second base). He later became part of the Brewers Wall of Honor.

BEN REVERE

While on a fast path to the big leagues, Ben Revere was part of Beloit’s affiliation with the Minnesota Twins when the outfielder was chosen in the first round (28th** overall) in the 2007 draft.

He played 83 games for Beloit in 2008, posting the highest batting average (.379) and slugging percentage (.497) of his professional career. He had 129 hits and 43 RBI. His totals included 19 triples and 17 doubles along with 169 total bases that year.

That special season with the Beloit Snappers included Revere being named the Midwest League Player of the Year and Prospect of the Year, after chosen for both mid-season and post-season ML All-Star teams. He received the Sherry Robertson Award as the Twins minor league player of the year.

Baseball America chose him as a High-A All-Star following the season and the Twins’ second best prospect at that time.

*Revere made his MLB debut with the Twins in September 2010. He then played eight MLB seasons for five different teams. *

Beloit Snappers and MILB Holding 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony

Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.

 

Never Forget.

Twenty years ago, the world came to a halt. Flights 11 and 175 were hijacked and flown into the World Trade Centers in New York City. Flight 77 was hijacked and flown into the Pentagon. Flight 93 was hijacked, but after passengers and crew re-took control, the plane crash-landed in a Pennsylvania field leaving no survivors. 2996 Americans lost their lives that day, which includes the lives of hundreds of first responders.

The Beloit Snappers, in conjunction with Minor League Baseball, will honor the lives of those lost on 9/11 with several gestures of remembrance.

Before Saturday’s game, the Snappers will pause for a moment of silence. The Snappers grounds crew will stencil in 9/11 behind home plate and place a fireman and policeman hat on either side during the moment of silence. First responders will also be recognized prior to the National Anthem.

Deputy Chief Jason Griffin and Lieutenant Michael Cullen from the City of Beloit Fire Department Honor Guard and Officer Kristian Zimmerman from the City of Beloit Police Department will assist with the raising of the American Flag during the ceremony. Retired Army Sergeant Bill Schenk will raise the American Flag. The flag will be lowered to half staff to honor the fallen men and women who passed on 9/11.

Midwest League Fines Benefit Stateline Community Foundation

BeloitSnappers_2014-11-18

 

Beloit-SnappersThe Beloit Snappers have selected the Stateline Community Foundation to receive the donation resulting from the Midwest League’s On-Field Behavior Policy.

Each season, the Midwest League asks its member teams to select a deserving group or organization in their respective community to receive a portion of the money collected from fines handed out as part of the league On-Field Behavior Policy. Past organizations selected have included Beloit Turner High School Baseball Program, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Beloit Memorial High School Baseball Program, Beloit Youth Hockey Association, Stateline Youth Sports Complex, Rock County Habitat for Humanity, the YMCA’s Partners of Youth Program, Caritas Inc., and Hands of Faith.

Stateline-Community-Foundation“We appreciate this opportunity to support the Stateline Community Foundation,” stated Snappers President, Dennis Conerton. “We are more than happy to partner with this foundation that helps the Stateline community have a better quality of life. Through the program, our players learn how to take a negative experience and learn from it. The lessons they learn benefit their on-field behavior, personal development and the greater good of the community.”

This annual contribution is just one of the many ways the Snappers and Midwest League Teams make efforts to give back to their communities. The Snappers are very involved in the Stateline Community, donating to hundreds of different causes each and every year.
