The Visiting Teams
The Long Island Bombers
are the oldest of the teams in the Northeast as they formed in 1998.
They have represented the Northeast as the highest seed in the
World Series in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008. They have built
a rival with the Boston Renegades on the field that really got going
when the two teams faced each other in the Consolation Championship
game in the 2004 World Series. The Bombers have had a core of
players play consistently for them through the years including Jim
Hughes and Frank Guerra who have each been named to Defensive All-star
Teams in the World Series.
2009 Record: 1 win and 1 loss
2008 Record: 4 wins and 4 Losses
Career vs Boston: 9 Wins and 3 Losses
Career vs. Pennsylvania: 5 wins and 2 losses
The Pennsylvania Wolfpack
formed in 2005 as Veteran Greg Gontaryk took his years of experience
and started a team in the Philadelphia area. An instant link
formed between Boston and the Wolfpack as Coach Carolyn Tassini decided
to leave the Boston area but not the sport of beepball as she moved
from the Renegades to the Wolfpack in 2006. The Wolfpack have had
many roster changes and in 2009 they sport one of the youngest teams in
the NBBA. They have recruited five players all under the age of
twenty. Greg Gontaryk is known as one of the games best defenders
as he brings years of experience and many defensive All-star trophies
to the table.
2009 Record: 0 Wins and 4 Losses
2008 Record: 3 Wins and 9 Losses
Career vs Boston: 3 Wins and 9 Losses
