Sadly, the Newark Bears are no more

Johnny barely made mention of the sad fact the Newark Bears sold off everything but the pitchers mound yesterday in his article earlier this week on the idea to bring a minor league baseball team to Jersey City. You can read all about the sad state of affairs and their relatively new $30 million stadium closing up shop here.

It's too bad when a great idea like this fails. We've long been of the mind here at the Jersey City Desk the wrong people were running the Bears. In the end however it doesn't seem like it would have much mattered, people for whatever reason just were not going to Newark to watch baseball. The train stopped right outside the stadium, it was right off the 280. It couldn't have been put in a better area and yet, here we are today.

So long Newark bears, may you one day be reincarnated as the Jersey City Space Punks.
