Raines Takes the Reins

Dave Caldwell of the NY Times sat down recently with Tim Raines, the former Yankee, and newest manager of the Newark Bears (in their latest incarnation).
“I’m just happy to be part of the groundbreaking of a new regime, so to speak,” said Tim Raines, the new manager and former big-league outfielder, in an interview later. “Everybody likes to be the start of something new.”
Owner Marc Benson folded the team in October after 3 years of ownership. A month later the Bases Loaded Group offered $100,000 and a $1 million letter of credit to start the Bears up again.
