Batavia, Cardinals Extend Agreement

The Batavia Muckdogs and St. Louis Cardinals today announced a two-year extension of their working relationship through the 2012 season. A joint announcement was made by Cardinals Assistant General Manager John Abbamondi, Cardinals Director of Minor League Operations John Vuch, and Brian Paris, President of Genesee County Community Baseball, the non-for-profit that owns the Batavia Muckdogs Franchise.

On the final day of summer it looked like it might be a new day for the Batavia Muckdogs.
