when Norwich Navigators won the EL Crown in Game 5 at Dodd Stadium 5-0 over the Harrisburg Senators. It was the last game the Navigators played as a Yankee farm team as the affiliation relocated to Trenton in 2003. It was not a surprise they were moving the affiliation it was already official. What was not known was who was replacing them.
I was really into this game emotionally and didn't take as many pictures as I wish I had looking back on it. I've put up 17 of them in this batch. Manger Luis Sojo is number 14 holding up the trophy. Johnny Rodquiez is number 41. Fan favorite, as both a Yankee and then a Giants Navigator, Mike Cervenak is number 55. The last out is somewhat pictured; which is a popup to Erik Almonte. Julio DePaula, number #49, whose jersey I have, was on the mound to get the final out.
Nobody really wanted to leave Dodd that night. It was the happiest I've ever been there without a doubt.

And the scoreboard was working as was the clock on top of the scoreboard. An example of how far the quality at Dodd has fallen.

Thanks for uploading those pics Greg. Those bring back probably the best memories I've ever had at Dodd.
Does anyone know when if at all Dodd is having a job fair for the upcoming season?

Re: the job, i would check the Defs website.
To be fair, the clock didn't always work during the Yankees years but on the other hand the speed gun board did
