OXFORD – The newly-named Binghamton Rumble Ponies are elevating their game to new heights in the coming season which will get underway in the early goings of April, 2017.

“We have a lot of fun things this year, it is an exciting time,” said John Bayne AGM/Community Relations of the Binghamton Rumble Ponies. “We have these improvements, we have a new name.”

Back in 2016, the then ‘Binghamton Mets’ the same minor league baseball team based out of Binghamton NY, allowed the internet to decide on its new name – including options such as the Stud Muffins, Bullheads, Gobblers, Rocking Horses, Timber Jockeys, and of course the winning name in the Rumble Ponies.

Fast forward to 2017, and the Binghamton based baseball team has more to offer its fans than a mere name change.

“When the owner took over the team, his goal wasn’t just to provide a baseball team for a community, but for a community involved franchise. So we are doing what we call ‘We care Wednesdays.’

This special night is just one of many other special events planned for the coming year – Star Wars Night, Prevention (Alcohol Free Night) – and will feature a Wednesday that is dedicated to a different organization or charity to help give back to the surrounding communities.
