Tampa Yankees nominated by FSL for 2016 Charles K. Murphy Patriot Award

Tampa Yankees nominated by FSL for   2016 Charles K. Murphy Patriot Award

Tampa, FL - Directors and General Managers of the Florida State League have nominated the Tampa Yankees for the Charles K. Murphy Patriot Award. The award recognizes a team for their outstanding support of and engagement with the United States Armed Forces and veterans, both at the ballpark and in the community. One overall winner will be selected prior to this year's annual Baseball Winter Meetings in National Harbor, Maryland, December 4th-8th. All 15 Minor League Baseball Leagues will have a nominee. The Charles K. Murphy Patriot Award is named after the late Florida State League President, "Chuck" Murphy. Every Saturday home game, the Tampa Yankees hosted "Salute to Service Members Saturday" where active and retired military received a free game ticket. The team also honored an active member of the military and their family from MacDill Air Force Base on the field during each game. Prior to the 2016 season starting, the Tampa Yankees mascot, Blue, and staff were present at MacDill Air Force Base for the annual Air Fest celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the base. The team returned to the Air Force Base multiple times throughout the season for different events like the Youth Baseball Opening Day, Back to School Fair, and Family Appreciation Picnic. In July, players and members of the front office staff were invited to try out the BOOM Simulator and learn about refueling a plane in the air. Afterwards, the players signed autographs at the Base Exchange. The Yankees Foundation partnered with the Tampa Bay History Center to offer free admission to all military at the History Center for one day in April. For Memorial Day, Blue and the street team went to the Armed Forces History Museum Family Fun Fest. The Tampa Yankees also worked with other local organizations who support the United States Armed Forces. In May, TY players went to Operation Patriot, a veterans nursing home in Land O'Lakes, Florida. The players went room to room to visit the residents and their families, pass out hats, sign autographs and then stayed for their BBQ lunch. 2016 marked the Tampa Yankees 10th annual Bark at the Ballpark and this year, the team worked with a new charity called K9s for Camo - an organization that provides service dogs to veterans that have returned from serving our country with post-traumatic stress disorder. Tampa Yankees game day employee, Dallas McClain is a student at Sickles High School and a proud member of the JROTC. He and his color guard presented the flags at one of our Saturday home games. Dallas was very proud to wear his uniform during his regular work shift that night. On July 4th, the team supported a local charity, Everyday Heroes USA; "Everyday Heroes USA" is dedicated to assisting the current and past men, women and families of the fire department, law enforcement and military through a series of programs designed to connect them with charities, businesses and volunteers willing to help. Every year, "Everyday Heroes USA" hosts, sponsors and participates in multiple events, with proceeds benefiting local heroes. Players & Coaches wore custom jerseys that had the Declaration of Independence running through the pinstripes of the jersey. Fans bid on the jersey's in a silent auction at the game and online to raise money for Everyday Heroes USA. During a pregame ceremony, members of the US Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Tampa Police and Tampa Fire were each honored with a short bio read as they took the field with the team for the National Anthem. Two flag presentations were done between innings to honor two mothers of fallen soldiers through My Warrior's Place, a Retreat Center for Veterans, Military Service Members, First Responders, Gold Star, Blue Star and Silver Star Families. As a part of the annual Tampa Yankees H.O.P.E. (Helping Other Persevere & Excel) Week initiative, the team invited military families through the USO out to the ballpark for a morning where they could play catch, take some swings and mingle with the players. Everyone that attended the morning portion was given a ticket to attend the game that night. Over 250 people attended the morning event. The Tampa Yankees are the Single A-Advanced affiliate of the New York Yankees. For more information you may contact the Tampa Yankees offices at (813) 673-3055or visit www.tybaseball.com.

Weekly Prospects Check In: Gleyber Torres

The Tampa Yankees have gone cold at the worst possible time, the playoffs and the championship. After winning the first half championship by leading the division and advancing in the first round of the playoffs the Tampa Yankees and their top prospects went cold. Jorge Mateo struggled for much of the postseason and Gleyber Torres, who did exceptionally well in the first round, fell short in the Florida State League Championship. What a shame.

Don’t hang your heads too much though boys. You had an exceptional season and you got postseason experience and the experience of winning that you cannot put a stat to or put a price tag on. Well done and enjoy the offseason.

Weekly Prospects Check In: Jordan Foley

Jordan Foley is a name that many casual Yankees or casual prospect following fans probably don’t know or don’t know much about so that is why we are showcasing him here this morning. That is one of the ultimate goals with these posts you see, not only to check in with them and see who is hot and who is not but to also make these potential Yankees players a household name. Foley is currently down in High-A with the Tampa Yankees and he pitched in Game One and Game Three of the playoffs for them out of the bullpen in relief.

In the series that led to the Tampa Yankees winning the North Division crown Foley threw four innings allowing just one run while notching a save in the deciding game. Here is the rest of his stat line for the season that isn’t over yet as the Tampa Yankees now look to clinch the Florida State League championship:

Weekly Prospects Check In: Gleyber Torres

It's Tuesday morning so you know what that means, a Gleyber Torres check in post. Torres has worn a Tampa Yankees hat for his entire Yankees tenure, however short it has been, but he will soon be seen wearing the Scottsdale Scorpions hat in the Arizona Fall League. He may have one more hat to wear before heading down to Arizona though... the hat of a first half division winner in the Florida State League North Division and a playoff team.

Let's see what Torres has done this week and this season for both Cleveland and New York:
