On the cusp of history

Tomorrow won't just be a significant day in Salisbury because of the local Tax Day TEA Party. With the Shorebirds winning a matinee game in Greensboro earlier this afternoon 9-4, another win over the Grasshoppers tomorrow evening will be victory number 1,000 for the team celebrating their 15th season this year.

Delmarva's beloved ballteam is now 999-950 in their 14 years plus 7 games and have gotten off to a 5-2 start. The win today solidifies their hold on first place in the SAL North. And while Delmarva has had 9 winning seasons in 14 years, they haven't made won a SAL title since 2000 or made a playoff appearance since 2005.

While it would be nice to see history made in the home opener, I'd rather start on the next thousand victories Friday after a 6-2 roadtrip to open the season. In the meantime, I have a Shorebird of Week to name.
