This article shows the new color scheme and logo for the Golden Baseball League’s new team in Maui:  the Na Koa Ikaika Maui.

General Manager, Rick Berry, designed the logo according  to the article.  Feel free to leave your comments and your constructive ideas on new ways that the logo can be used in helping a start-up independent minor league baseball team increase revenues and team awareness.

In his blog last week, Bob Wirz reported that Cory Snyder – manager of the new independent league baseball team in Maui (Golden League) – and his family received news that his daughter suffered significant injuries resulting from an auto accident.

IndependentBaseball.net extends its thoughts and prayers to the Snyder family and hopes that their daughter can recover as quickly and completely as possible.

Here is an update about Cory Snyder managing the Maui expansion franchise of the Golden League in 2010:  http://www.mauinews.com/page/content.detail/id/526927.html?nav=11

The only thing of interest is that the article, dated December 20 2009, states that the team president of Maui will also be the team president of the St. George Roadrunners.  The Roadrunners announced that they would fold earlier this month, so some clarification is still pending from Maui and/or the GBL.

It is always interesting to note that the business side of professional baseball (or any sport) is always measured differently than what fans and players consider to be a “success” based on the talent on the field.
