After months of internal discussions and community polls and votes, the Olney Community Baseball Group has decided on a name, CropDusters Baseball.
“It was really important to us to have the community involved throughout this whole process. The community spoke, and we listened. We also thought the name had a unique connection to the local history of farming and agriculture of Olney, while also recognizing the comical side of the satire meaning that will allow us to be unique and marketable. This name came to be after the community vote, and numerous conversations with players, collegiate coaches and other summer collegiate teams who are doing some fun and exciting stuff around the country. We spoke for hours with the owners and coaches of the Savannah Bananas, who urged us to make the naming process community driven, but to make sure that there is a fun element involved also. We think this name gives us that opportunity. Our sole focus is going to be on fan experience and making sure everyone who comes to the park leaves after having a great time. We’re going to have farmers markets at home games, local beers on tap, bales of hay around the park to sit on. It’s going to be an awesome experience.” said Brian Brewer, General Manager of the team.
