The Following is an article announcing the honor being bestowed on Senator Singer for being THE REASON WE HAVE A BLUECLAWS STADIUM. Remember this article when the Blueclaws contract is investigated and Senator Singer denies having anything to do with it. He has already denied any involvement in negotiating the ridiculous $25 thousand dollar a year rent for our $24 million dollar stadium that we spend millions to maintain. Hopefully when this honor is bestowed on Singer he will no longer be called Senator.
Eric Krupa, president of the South Atlantic League, has announced the members of the Class of 2013 for the South Atlantic League Hall of Fame. The two new inductees will be honored as part of the festivities surrounding the 54th Annual South Atlantic League All-Star Game, scheduled to be played on June 18, 2013, at FirstEnergy Park, home of the Lakewood BlueClaws.
This year's class certainly has a New Jersey flavor, and includes an elected official and the supplier of a very specialized product used in every professional baseball game. New Jersey State Senator Robert Singer will be inducted along with Lena Blackburne, whose famous baseball rubbing mud is taken from a riverbank somewhere in New Jersey.
Senator Robert W. Singer has served in the New Jersey State Legislature for over 20 years as well as on the Lakewood Township Committee for over 30 years. His leadership helped lure the Lakewood BlueClaws to New Jersey in 2001, and the success of the franchise would not have been possible without his steadfast support. His vision of a successful franchise has been fulfilled as the BlueClaws have led the South Atlantic League in average attendance in each of its 12 years in Lakewood.
The Hall of Fame induction ceremony is one of several events scheduled in conjunction with the 54th SAL All-Star Game in Lakewood. Fan Fest and a Celebrity Hitting Challenge will be held on Monday, June 17th. The 54th Annual South Atlantic League All-Star Game at FirstEnergy Park on June 18th is scheduled to begin at 7:05pm.
