Hello


The Arthur W. Perdue Stadium gates opened in 1996,

and since then the Shorebirds have become an integral part

of the Delmarva community.

They are the only professional sports team in the area.

In 2007, 7th Inning Stretch acquired the team and has gone to

great length to improve the fan experience and

Arthur W. Perdue Stadium itself.

A new state-of-the-art sound system was installed,

the interior of the park was freshly painted and the kids area

was paved and upgraded to feature more inflatables for kids.

Fireworks are also a common occurrence after the games in the summer.

The  Delmarva Shorebirds are the Class "A" Minor League Baseball

 

affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.

 

A member of the South Atlantic League, the team plays

 

140 games each season,

 

70 at home and 70 on the road, all of which are broadcast

 

on SportsTalk AM960.

 

Since 1996 the 'Birds have been crowned champions twice,

 

the first coming in 1997 and the latest in the year 2000.

 

Some memorable Shorebirds who have gone on to play

 

in the big leagues are players like

 

Erik Bedard, Brian Roberts, Nick Markakis, John Maine,

 

Orlando Cabrera and Javier Vasquez among others.
