Yankees Announce 2016 Schedule
November 10, 2015 - New York-Penn League (NYPL)
Staten Island Yankees News Release
The Staten Island Yankees are excited to announce the team's 2016 season schedule. The Baby Bombers kick off another action-packed summer at home for a 15th summer at the Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George on Saturday, June 18, against cross-bridge rival the Brooklyn Cyclones.
After posting a 41-34 regular season record and winning the team's eighth McNamara Division title in 16 seasons, Staten Island seeks to bring home their seventh New York-Penn League Championship in 2016 following a loss in the league championship in September.
For the first time since 2012, the Yankees will open the season on the road on Friday, June 17, at the friendly confines of MCU Park in Brooklyn where the Baby Bombers posted a perfect 6-0 record in 2015. The team then returns to the Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George to begin a home-opening seven-game home stand from June 18 to June 24, including a NYPL Championship rematch with reigning title holder the West Virginia Black Bears (Pittsburgh Pirates) on June 22-24.
While fans will have to wait until early 2016 for the promotional calendar, dates such as July 4 vs. the Hudson Valley Renegades (Tampa Bay Rays) and the Labor Day season finale on Sept. 5 vs. Brooklyn should be games to mark in your calendar. See below for the whole 2016 home slate.
