“The Yankees are not going to play a game at
Cooperstown this year,” he continued. “But
the Rockland Boulders are, and we’re going
to use that to thank corporate partners and
find new ones too.”
The anticipation of the first-ever Can-Am
Classic has led to excitement from around
the league according to Lehner.
“This is just such a thrilling opportunity,” he
said. “The excitement surrounding this game
has already led to talks with the Quebec City
Les Capitales about returning to Cooper-
stown in 2016 in what is sure to be another
‘Can-Am Classic’.”
As independent baseball continues to move
forward, the Rockland Boulders are excited
to continue growing and improving along
with the Can-Am League. The 2015 season
is officially underway, and with the Boulders
off to a 8-3 start, the team is ready for the
challenge of defending the title.
“I think that we, as the Rockland Boulders
organization, came into independent base-
ball as it continues to grow, mature and get
better quality players,” Lehner explained.
“We’re really excited about where we sit,
when you’re on top everyone wants to knock
you off, so we’re getting ready to defend our
title. We know that everybody is going to be
gunning for us, and that’s okay, we’re up for
that challenge.”
