Players to be honored with bobbleheads during 2019 celebration season

 

MOOSIC, PA (December 4, 2018) – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are pleased to announce the first two members of their All-Time SWB Team; a key component of their upcoming 2019 season.  The RailRiders will spend the season honoring 30 years of professional baseball in Northeast Pennsylvania.

 

Luis Severino and Gary Sanchez have been tabbed as the best pitcher and catcher during the vast history of professional baseball in Moosic.  Each will be honored with a custom bobblehead giveaway during the 2019 season.

 

During October and November, fans nominated and then voted on their all-time favorites that graced the field in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for the home club.  Nominations spanned the full history of baseball in NEPA, were pared down to the finalists before the voting determined the fan’s ultimate selections.

 

Severino received 42% of the possible pitcher votes, besting the second-leading vote getter in Jonathan Albaladejo, as well as Brandon Duckworth, Ivan Nova, Joe Roa and Randy Wolf.  Sanchez received 47% of the votes at catcher, topping Mike Lieberthal, Austin Romine and narrowly edging Carlos Ruiz.

 

Severino’s bobblehead giveaway is slated for June 22 while Sanchez’s giveaway is set for August 31.
