Sugar Land Space Cowboys News Release
SUGAR LAND, TX - The Skeeters are honored to join their peers in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball in its groundbreaking working agreement with Major League Baseball.
The following statements were made by Skeeters front-office personnel regarding Tuesday's announcement:
Kevin Zlotnik, Owner
"This is a monumental day for the Atlantic League and the Sugar Land Skeeters. I want to thank ALPB President Rick White and Founder Frank Boulton for continuing to take the ALPB to greater heights. This deal clearly shows that MLB believes our league is a showcase not for only talent, but innovation, as well. It's long been speculated that Major League Baseball believes that quicker pace of play, more accurate judgment calls, and increased offensive action could increase fan interaction, so we eagerly await the experimental changes MLB will implement for the upcoming season."
Tyler Stamm, General Manager
"The Atlantic League's partnership with Major League Baseball will impact the future of baseball, and we are thrilled to be at the forefront of innovation within the game. Baseball fans in the Houston area will have an exclusive opportunity to experience this exciting future each night at Constellation Field."
The Skeeters, winners of the 2018 Atlantic League Championship, open the 2019 season April 25th at Constellation Field against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. Season tickets and mini plans for the 2019 season are currently available and individual tickets will soon be made available.
