Some 2009 Alexandria Aces Headlines Added
Looking at a Wayback Machine (archive.org) snapshot of the old Alexandria Aces’ website, I found some game recap headlines from the first half of the 2009 season. Those headlines when clicked, unfortunately, do not appear to lead to many archived individual game/player stories. Nonetheless, hopefully the headlines (from May 2009 through mid-July 2009) can be of benefit to some CBL alumni and others interested in the one year that the Aces played in the Continental Baseball League. The link to those archived headlines can be found on the bottom of the Aces’ page here:
Recap Of First Regular Season Game In CBL History

2009 Coastal Kingfish Partial Roster Added
The 2009 Coastal Kingfish team was a last-minute replacement team for the CBL’s schedule. Since the team was league-operated as a travel (and neutral site) team, there was high turnover on the roster + 3 different managers. We found one of the earlier rosters and added it to the Kingfish page here: http://www.cblproball.com/teams/coastal-kingfish/
