Front page article in The Norwich Bulletin today...

about the Defenders perhaps becoming a New York Mets farm team. The Defenders owner is a Mets fan and both the Binghampton and Connecticut PDCs run out at the end of the 2006 season. Interesting stuff and it would help attendance especially with possible rehab assignments from Mets players. The rehab appearances by David Cone, Roger Clements, and other Yankees players were big time events back in the Yankee/Norwich Navigators days up at Dodd. The other hint is that one of the Defenders jersey is the same color scheme as the Mets alternate jersey. Check out Will's article via the Norwich Bulletin link at the right.
Misc note: Went out to breakfest today in Norwich and the place had Defenders 2006 schedules out.
