Cheyenne Grizzles


I went to my first Cheyenne Grizzles baseball game last night. They started playing in June, and will play throughout July.

The first inning didn't start out to well...3 runs for the other team thanks to a couple of errors. And there were a few errors in subsequent innings. Still, the players knew what they were doing, there were double plays, etc, and if you like to see a lot of offense, the Cheyenne Grizzly games are for you!
Cheyenne Grizzlies go for Back top Back Championships in this 7th season!

The players are college students:
MCBL Eligible Players
Players eligible for the MCBL are students of junior and senior colleges who have eligibility remaining in accordance with NCAA regulations. It is not permissible for high school students or non-NCAA students (i.e., former college players), nor
players who are under current professional contract in the sport of baseball, to
participate in the MCBL.

In order to participate in the MCBL, a student-athlete must receive written
permission from his college or university.

Player Sources The Cheyenne Grizzlies team manager and coaches will recruit talented, eligible
college players from around the country to make up their team’s roster. The
Grizzlies staff will use the same model as current collegiate summer league teams:
recruit players from top college baseball programs and conferences, augmented by
the best available local college players (keeping to our roots, we will be actively pursuing players from colleges in regional conferences, such as the Big 12, Mountain West, Western Athletic, and the Rocky Mountain Athletic).
