PLAY BALL!HOW A NEW LEAGUE IS BRINGING PRO BASEBALL BACK TO THE BEACH

Alex Markakis | General ManagerAlex is a Massachusetts native and attended St. John’s Prep in Danvers, MA. He was a four-year standout for Saint Joseph’s College of Maine. Primarily a third baseman, he also logged time in the outfield and as a designated hitter while helping St. Joe’s claim a GNAC Championship and NCAA Tournament appear-ance in each of his four seasons on the diamond. He graduated in May of 2014 with a Business major. Cousins with MLB veteran outfielder Nick Markakis, who played nine years for the Baltimore Orioles and signed a four-year deal with the Atlanta Braves during the 2014 offseason. He is now giving back to his Alma Ma-ter serving as an assistant coach of the Saint Joseph’s College baseball team. Alex also recently became a liaison to an Area Scout for the New York Yankees.

Brad Michals | Director of Baseball OperationsBrad was the Director of Baseball and Player Development for the Worcester Tornadoes (2005–2012) making the playoffs all 7 years and winning the league champioship in 2005. Brad has close ties with many major league teams including the Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, and Toronto Blue Jays. He is constantly on the lookout for prospective baseball talent and is well noted for his player as-sessment and evaluation skills. Brad brings over 25 years of business experience - as the president of Michals Insurance Agency, Inc. (offices in Boston and Port-land), he works closely with individuals and businesses to provide competitive insurance programs, financial planning, and financial services products. Brad is a graduate of the University of Maine, Orono with a degree in Public Management.


The first time my Dad brought me to the Ball Park, my most vivid memory was how big the place seemed. Walking through the gate that night, the concrete grandstand looked positively enormous to my 10 year old eyes. Growing up in New Hampshire, this was the closest thing to the big leagues around - I might as well have been walking into Fenway Park.

Fast forward almost thirty years, and I’m not only step-ping into the Ball Park again, but I’m hopping down onto the field from the stands - something 10 year old me would’ve been geeking out over. And I realize something - the place is still big.

When the Old Orchard Beach Surge take the field for the first time on June 2nd, they won’t just be filling out a line-up card, they’ll be writing a new chapter in history. The story of baseball in this seaside town has never been easy to classify, but it hasn’t been a boring read either. From the arrival of the Maine Guides in 1984 (relocating from Charleston) to their departure in 1989 (to Scranton) to the Ball Park suffering years of neglect to everyday citizens bringing the park back to life to college players beginning their careers with the Raging Tide - it’s a story full of drama, tragedy, love, and waiting. Lots of waiting.

That’s all over now - because Old Orchard Beach... this is your team.

Professional baseball in Old Orchard Beach has had its share of twists and turns over the last 30 years, but a new American-Canadian league and a pair of Maine collegiate alumni are ready to change that.by Todd Regoulinsky

In late February, the newest independent professional baseball league in North America announced the Surge as their newest team - bringing the community full circle and putting them back on the map where pro baseball is concerned. The East Coast Baseball League (ECBL) is an established Canadi-an-based organization with 6 teams - 3 teams in the US, 2 in Canada, and one traveling road team. The equivalent of Class-A minor league baseball, the ECBL means that Old Orchard Beach will have professional baseball after a layoff of 26 years.

At the heart of the new team is GM Alex Markakis and Director of Baseball Operations Brad Michals. Both are gradu-ates of Maine universities (see their bios on the opposite page). They have a passion for baseball and are dedicated to fielding a competitive team while also providing a fun, family atmosphere. Every seat for games all season will be $5 each with children 7 and under getting in free. Another advantage to heading out to ballgame in OOB? Two words seldom heard in connection to professional sports: free parking.

Through the years, the Ball Park has remained in OOB, patiently waiting - and now, it can finally be said... professional baseball is back at the beach. Come out and support your Old Orchard Beach Surge!
