Artist Hans de Castellane Eldredge Park Painting Raffle H ans de Castellene, a well-known local artist, grew up on Cape Cod loving the Cape Cod Baseball League. When he attended Nauset Middle School, he played on the same field that hosts the Orleans Firebirds. He attended Nauset High and went on to Pratt Institute’s School of Art and Design. His many murals are well known across the Cape, including one on the gymnasium wall of his alma mater in North Eastham and another on the exterior wall of the Orleans Marketplace across from Dunkin Donuts. Recently, de Castellane, who moved back to the Cape from Brooklyn and opened a gallery in Dennisport, reached out to the Firebirds with an offer. Raffle his painting of a Firebirds game at Eldredge Park to raise needed money to help support the team. All this season, Firebirds fans can purchase raffle tickets at home games to take a chance on winning this beautiful framed 17" x 21" acrylic on canvas painting valued at $3,400. There are also 8" x 10" replica tiles available for purchase at the Home Plate Shop. Eldredge Park 2008 X 21"x17" X Acrylic on Canvas “As a kid watching the games, I was fascinated by the lights contrasted with the night’s sky, so I wanted them to be a dominant part of the painting,” said de Castellane. “I depicted the people watching the game impressionistically, like Seurat. The infield dirt has a sandy texture, and the grass is quilted as a tribute to all the fans who come out early with their blankets to stake out space for the game.” The entire painting’s view of the field is though you were a bird perched on the scoreboard, and the outfielder’s number boasts “2,” de Castellane’s lucky number. You can reach Hans and see his work at www.decastellanegallery.com. | 5 | ORL EA NS FIREBIR D S X 2013 YEARB OOK Orl eansFi rebi rds.com Q&A Behind the Scenes How Manager Kelly Nicholson constructed the 2013 Firebirds PHOTO BY MATTHEW SCOTT/SPORTSPIX Q. How do you approach the process of putting a team together? the organization in a professional way both on and off the field. Doing things the “right” way, being respectful, and emphasizing the tremendous opportunity we ALL have to be in Orleans are the core covenants of our organization. This is, by far, the most challenging part of the job. However, putting a team together every summer is the part I really enjoy. I love watching every player take the field for the very first time, knowing that it has been a long process getting them to Orleans, and that each and every one has earned the privilege of playing in the Cape Cod Baseball League. So, with that being said, this is how we try to do it. Offensively, we want a team that can produce and score runs. Ideally, we want a group that has a combination of speed, power, high OBP’s, and we love guys who walk more than they strikeout. Defensively, we want strength up the middle with our catcher, second baseman, shortstop, and centerfielder. On the mound, we want a combination of lefties and righties who have outstanding command. Command is my #1 priority when I look at a prospective pitcher. Then, it’s a matter of defining roles for everyone and putting our players in situations where they will be successful. More importantly, we want student/athletes in Orleans who will represent NICHOLSON Q. When and how do you start the process? NICHOLSON The process of putting a team together is ongoing. I receive phone calls, emails, and texts year-round from people who want to recommend players. Usually, I fill our roster by early fall for the following summer. In other words, the 2013 roster was set by November of 2012. Right now, we are acquiring names of potential ‘Birds for 2014. Q. What do you look for in a prospective player? We want physically talented and mentally tough players at every position. In addition, an equally important quality we look for in a player is his character. Is he a good student? Does he have a good work ethic? Will he be a good teammate? Does he possess a good attitude? All of these attributes are extremely important to our organization in the recruiting process. NICHOLSON | 6 | ORL EA NS FIREBIR D S 2013 YEARB OOK Orl eansFi rebi rds.com Q. What role does the college coach play in helping you secure a player? The college coach has the final say in where a player ultimately winds up playing during the summer. I can ask about a prospective player, but if the college coach doesn’t think he has the ability to play on the Cape, or does not want him going out to play summer ball, for whatever reason, Orleans isn’t getting him. I rely heavily on their input, trust them tremendously and value their opinions. The college coaches do an absolutely terrific job of sending the Cape Cod Baseball League the very best players college baseball has to offer. It is evident every year in the draft by the number of players drafted that have played in the Cape League. It was clearly evident in last year’s World Series as the San Francisco Giants had eight or nine players that played in the Cape League. Brandon Crawford, the shortstop for the Giants, played in Orleans in 2007. NICHOLSON Q. Do you have a close circle of college coaches and contacts that you depend on? NICHOLSON I do. Being from the West Coast, I would like to think Orleans has a really good relationship with all of the schools in California. USC, UCLA, Loyola Marymount, University of San Diego, Long Beach State, San Diego State, Cal State Fullerton, and Pepperdine are all schools that have been great to us in the past. In addition, we have developed great relationships with the coaching staffs at Arizona, Arizona State, Vanderbilt, Duke, Stony Brook, North Carolina and Kent State, just to name a few. Scouts and agents also play a vital role in helping us to identify and land players in Orleans as well. Q. Do you target specific schools or conferences? Not really. Orleans is simply looking for the best possible players we can find that are gifted physically, mentally, and have great character. We do like to see position players before they come to the Cape, just to see how they handle swinging a wood bat for a summer. Because of this, our roster in Orleans will be made up primarily of players going into their junior seasons. It doesn’t mean that rising sophomores can’t do it; it just means that they have to be a pretty special player to compete. Marcus Stroman (’10,’11) - Duke, Trevor Gott (’11,’12) - Kentucky, and Brad Myers (’05) - LMU, are three players who come to mind who experienced tremendous success in Orleans after their freshman seasons in college. In fact, all of them were Cape League All-Stars, and they all pitched. Needless to say, we recruit our pitching staff a bit differently than we do our position players. Playing the previous summer doesn’t weigh as heavily in their recruitment process as it does with the position players. NICHOLSON Q. What role does team chemistry play, and how do you factor this in? I think team chemistry plays a role on every team in sports. I feel pretty strongly that chemistry and winning pretty NICHOLSON and the answer is pretty simple. Whatever team asks for the player first is usually going to get him. However, every team on the Cape has established working relationships with certain coaches and universities, so those often play a factor in the recruiting process as well. much go hand-in-hand. It seems like teams that win have great chemistry, and teams that have great chemistry are winners. Q. How do you balance your team by position? Typically, we’d like four outfielders, three middle infielders, three corner guys, two catchers and fourteen or fifteen pitchers to start our season. NICHOLSON Q. What is the timing of the entire process from identifying players, to recruiting, to soliciting commitments? Q. How do you decide on inviting returning players either from our team or other CCBL teams? NICHOLSON I hear about players as early as their senior year in high school, and it is usually from a coach where that particular player has committed to go to college. For the most part though, I will not be contacted, nor will I contact a coach, until a player has entered college and starts to perform at a high level. Various sources help to identify these future Cape Leaguers coaches, scouts, agents, advisors, etc. - and I begin to compile a list of potential Firebirds. I follow their progress throughout their college and summer seasons. Once I decide on a player I think we would like to have, I contact his coach. If that player is available, the coach and I will discuss the possibility of him coming to play in Orleans. The college coach knows the player’s ability and character way better than I do. If he thinks his player has the ability to be successful in Orleans and we both agree that he will be a good “fit” in Orleans, a contract is offered. NICHOLSON We always try to be loyal to players who have previously played in Orleans. If a player comes to us after his freshman year, we will almost always take him back the following summer. If a player has played for us after “I feel strongly that chemistry and winning pretty much go hand-in-hand.” Manager Kelly Nicholson his sophomore season and does not get drafted the following June, we will try to find him a spot on our roster as well. We normally don’t offer juniors full contracts because of the risk of them being drafted and signing. As for guys who have played with other Cape League teams, we would definitely consider them, but that doesn’t happen very often, as other clubs are loyal to their returning players as well. Q. How do you handle temporary invitations to players? Q. How is the actual player contact handled...directly or through the college coach? Temporary contracts are normally offered to players after our roster is set and as insurance against players arriving in Orleans after our season begins or not arriving at all. With the College World Series ending in late June, Team USA selections, injuries, summer school, and pitchers getting shut down, there are a variety of reasons why players arrive late or not at all. NICHOLSON NICHOLSON Contact with a player is always handled through the coaches, because they ultimately decide where their players will be playing summer baseball. Q. What happens if a player is being recruited by multiple teams?

Home of the Orleans Firebirds E ldredge Park in Orleans is the baseball home of the Orleans Firebirds of the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL). It hosts 10 teams arranged in Eastern and Western divisions during 22 home games and – hopefully – playoffs. It’s a beautiful venue for baseball. All games are played under the stars starting at 7 p.m. with free admission and no reserved seating. The field is “open” at all times, so you may come early to watch team preparations, enjoy a picnic, relax on a blanket, shop at the Home Plate Shop or simply enjoy the beautiful setting with family, friends and fans. It’s a good idea to bring a blanket for ground cover and a sweatshirt or jacket for later on a cool evening. No smoking or alcoholic beverages are allowed. The park is a family setting where parents are expected to watch and control their children while exhibiting the highest levels of sportsmanship. Firebirds’ players and coaches are pleased to meet any and all fans immediately after the game on the field. Talk with the players, get their autographs and take photos. Bring the 2013 Firebirds Yearbook, a baseball, a Firebirds cap or t-shirt for autographing. Don’t forget a pen! Try to have every player sign your yearbook during the course of the season. Many Orleans players have gone on to very successful major league careers. You can learn more about the players by talking with them, reading their profiles in this yearbook or visiting the website at orleansfirebirds.com. In the fall of 2009, the Firebirds intiated an aggressive field improvement project designed to restore Eldredge Park – located at the Nauset Regional Middle School at the intersection of Rt.28 and Eldredge Parkway - as the premier venue for amateur summer baseball. To date, about $322,000 has been spent on numerous improvements. The Firebirds received a $150,000 grant from the Yawkey Foundation to be matched by local financial support to enhance the safety, entertainment value and playing conditions of the field. r r r r r r r r r Upgrades completed to date include: r *OTUBMMBUJPOPGBOFXTUBUFPG the-art sprinkler system for both the playing surface and the hillside seating area r *OTUBMMBUJPOPGOFXBMVNJOVN bleachers behind home plate r and outside the fences in both left and right fields $PNQMFUJPOPGBOFXIJMMTJEF drainage system to eliminate water runoff and associated erosion $POTUSVDUJPOPGTUBUFPGUIF art dugouts *OTUBMMBUJPOPGBVOJRVF backstop system consisting of brick and netting *OTUBMMBUJPOPGTJEFMJOFOFĨJOH systems to enhance spectator safety 5PUBMJOėFMEBOETJEFMJOF restoration with laser-guided leveling and new infield mix and sod *OTUBMMBUJPOPGOFXGPVMQPMFT and center field flag 8JEFOJOHPGUIFPVUėFME warning track for improved player safety 3FDPOTUSVDUJPOPGUIF pitcher’s mound, home-plate area and both bullpens to NCAA specifications *OTUBMMBUJPOPGUIFMPHPEVHPVU signage indicating “Home of the Orleans Firebirds” $MFBSJOHBOEMBOETDBQJOHPG adjacent property outside the right field fence and behind the backstop to improve aesthetics and provide more useable park space for spectators. Plans are currently in progress to renovate and expand the Birds Nest and Home Plate Shop behind the field back stop during the fall of 2013. These recent and future improvements contribute to the park’s value, which is owned jointly by the Nauset school system and town of Orleans – all without any cost to taxpayers. The Firebirds is the only team in the CCBL that has a private field house and locker room, which is in the Charles Moore band shell. Maintained by the team, it includes a kitchen, laundry facilities and coach’s office. Unlike other teams, the Firebirds have their uniforms cleaned by the team. During some games, and especially during the playoffs, as many as 5,500 fans may watch a Firebirds game. The team has led the CCBL in attendance for many years. In 2012, more than 50,000 fans attended Firebirds games at Eldredge Park, which exceeds the attendance at any other CCBL venue by more than 30 percent. The unique bowl construction of Eldredge Park – combined with its surrounding hillside terraces eliminates the need for bleachers, and creates a most unique venue to watch a game. P Enjoy the game.

Once he arrives, the temporary player must be released. However, if a full contract player never arrives in Orleans, I can then offer a temporary player a full contract, which guarantees him a final roster spot. This Q. What factors into the final roster decisions on July 1? happens just about every summer. In fact, in 2011, Ben Waldrip from Jacksonville State and Matt Duffy from Long Beach State, arrived in Orleans on temporary contracts. Long story short, BOTH of these guys got full contracts and both wound up starting in the All-Star Game in Fenway Park – an incredible story! We, the coaching staff, do not have to make decisions on the players who are under a full contract. They are guaranteed to be with us all summer. However, if we do have full contract guys that will not be arriving in Orleans, then we have to decide NICHOLSON | 17 | ORL EA NS FIREBIR D S 2013 YEARB OOK Orl eansFi rebi rds.com on which temporary players to keep. When making these decisions, which are often difficult, we simply try to keep the guys on our roster who will make our team the very best it can be.

As a young boy, my parents brought me to Cardinal games a few times over the summer. My fondest memories are eating ice cream from the concession stand and playing catch with my father along the third-base line. I was too young then to realize I often was standing just feet away from future stars such as Lance Niekro and Mark Teixeira. In 2005, I officially became a member of the Orleans Firebirds. From 2005 to 2010, I worked as a bat boy for the team. From the 2011 season on, I have been an intern. Little did I know that these jobs not only were so much fun, but also great learning experiences. As a bat boy, I was taught patience. At 10 years of age, I was thrilled to run onto the field to collect bats, bring baseballs to the umpires and collect balls that screamed into the fenced backstop. But, as eager as I was to race onto the field, I had to wait for the play to finish. There was one time when the ball got past the catcher with a man on base. Not really knowing the rules of the game, I ran to the backstop to retrieve the ball, only to be met by a 200-pound catcher trying to beat me to it. Needless to say, I was just a little bit embarrassed. Even now, eight seasons later, I wince at the memory. If I just had waited another second or two, I would have realized that I didn’t need to run out to the field. “From the day I stepped onto the field at Eldredge Park, I felt I truly was a member of the team.” Nathan Garran PHOTOS BY STEVE GARRAN X“Big Nate” (Nate Freiman) and “Little Nate” in 2008. XBat Kids Nathan and Allison Garran with player Brad Gemberling in 2008. PHOTO BY STEVE GARRAN XNathan received the Now, as an Eagle Scout and the Senior Patrol Leader of Troop 83 of Eastham, I supervise 25 boys from the ages 12 to 16. Trying to manage that many people at one time requires a lot of patience. As an intern for the Firebirds last year, I learned the hard way that things don’t always go as planned. The team began using live video stream to accompany traditional live broadcasts. Over the first few games, the interns had a lot of trouble trying to get the new equipment to do what it was supposed to do. With a little time and patience, the video stream was up and running by game time. Within a few weeks of the season, all systems were ready to go in no time at all. I also have learned about dedication and discipline. Working for the team meant I had to be at certain games at certain times; no exceptions. That discipline has carried over to my success as a Boy Scout and the focus needed to attain Eagle Scout. It also helps me every day at my job at Eastham ACE Hardware. Finally, the Firebirds’ experience has taught me well about compassion and teamwork.

I never had a big brother, but the players through the last eight years always have made me feel so welcome. Today, they are my big brothers. When I went through a string of surgeries in the winter of 2010 into 2011, I was overwhelmed by support from alumni of the Firebirds. I was blessed to have a few of them visit me in the hospital. Because of this, I try my best to share similar care and compassion with others. When the 2012 season ended, I drove the team golf cart into the shadows of Eldredge Park, sad to see the experience end, but grateful for the immediate expectation of a new summer and new big brothers. I will forever be indebted to the experience both personally and professionally. P Perfect for your Low-carb, no sugar, Low-fat,lactoseintolerant lifestyle.

He also suffers from an anxiety disorder. The maladies make life pretty tough, but baseball has been a saving grace, making him feel “normal,” as his uncle says. Last summer, he visited the Firebirds clinic. Soon, Coaches Jason Brown and Benny Craig were giving Bobby (not his real name) individual hitting and pitching instruction. “Our family watched Bobby’s excitement and enthusiasm for baseball. He recited every night the five fundamentals that Benny had taught him, and the idea of being a student-athlete rather than an athlete-student.” During one night game last year, Bobby took photographs of the Firebirds pitchers and pointed out to his family things he saw each pitcher do poorly, all based on what he learned from Jason. “He was ready to take the camera to Brown in the dugout during the game, until we suggested it may not be the best idea,” a relative related with a smile. The Firebird coaches just didn’t run through drills or teach fundamentals. “They spent time listening to (Bobby) and his concerns, instilling along the way the importance of what it is to be an extraordinary person, not just an extraordinary athlete. Learning how to throw a change-up and improve his hitting were just bonuses.” Beyond the lights of the night games, the Firebirds clinic and the coaches’ commitment have become an indelible part of the Or- leans summer at Nauset Middle School. Manager Kelly Nicholson receives letters and emails of praise like the one from Bobby’s family year round, citing not only improved skills, but also enhanced sportsmanship – and love for the game. Manager Nicholson, who operates the clinic, agrees: “The kids X develop character skills and good sportsmanship. In addition to a parents-kids game during the week, another highlight is the “Run with the ‘Birds.” Clinic participants run onto the field with the players at the start of the game, and parents can take their pictures. “The clinic and features like Run with the ‘Birds have has taken off like wildfire,” says Nancy Nickerson, who along with Elaine Brickman, volunteer hundreds of hours administering the clinic. “We let our campers bring their parents at 5 o’clock and watch batting practice in the dugout. Then, we let their sons and daughters catch balls in batting practice. All of us are also available after the game for autographs. Sometimes, they go to dinner with the team,” says Nicholson. Footnote: Bobby’s name was changed to protect the privacy of the family, whose members were delighted to share his experience and their appreciation.

It’s all pretty special.” It’s also special for the Firebirds’ players. “They become the coaches; so they soon appreciate their own manager and coaches better,” explains Nicholson. “They see how difficult it is to win working with 5, 6 or 7-year olds, and asking them to perform each day.” While improving skills are important, the clinic is first and foremost about having fun, says Nicholson. “We want the kids to All participants receive instruction from the manager, coaches and Firebirds, as well as a t-shirt, and an opportunity to “run with the ‘Birds.” ‘Campers of the Week’ also will be awarded at the conclusion of each clinic. Clinics are held weekly beginning June 17 and continuing through August 2 at Nauset Middle School (adjacent to Eldredge Park). They run from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Water breaks and a nutrition break will take place daily, so attendees should bring snacks and water, in addition to their baseball gear.

But that changed in 2004, the year his family turned its guest house into a summer Bird Nest. “We didn’t know much about baseball, and we knew very little about the Cape league. We had no idea that major league scouts come here to recruit players,” says the East Orleans resident. So when the first players came to nest at the von Thaden home nine years ago, the family learned quite a lot – and fast. “They sat us down and told us the ABC’s of baseball; and we developed a great appreciation of the game,” recalls von Thadden, who, with his wife, Kim, and three children, have hosted 18 players over the years. “They’re teenagers now, but our kids were still little back in 2004. Sometimes we’d let one of the players take them out for ice cream, and they thought it was pretty cool to be out with a teenager without mom and dad,” says von Thaden. The family continues to host two players each year. Their home seems to be a lucky charm for its summer residents; every player PHOTO BY NANCY NICKERSON XPlayer Max Rossiter with his family Rick and John Purcell, as well as Mom, Jean Stanley. XPlayers Dylan Covey and who stayed there was drafted, and most still are in the game. The best part of the experience for him has been following the successes of those he hosted. “You spend such a short amount of time with these boys in one season, but you can have a lifetime connection. That’s how I feel about Everett Teaford. He was a pitcher on the 2005 team, and now he plays for the Kansas City Royals. I still go see him play. Sometimes I’ll take one of the kids with me.” His involvement has had other benefits. “We started going to all the games. It’s been a great excuse to leave the office. ‘I gotta go to the baseball game!’” he quips. Lasting ties have been a major part of the Birds Nest experience for Steve Garran and his family, especially for son, Nathan. Among the players they have hosted over the years is Nate Freiman. The former Wellesely High School and Duke University star now is 26 years old and is playing in the majors for the Oakland Athletics after spending time in both the San Diego Padres and Houston Astros systems. Freiman hit .298 with 24 home runs and 105 RBIs in 137 games with the Double A San Antonio Missions in 2012. The Garran family already has been to Fenway Park this season to watch Freiman make his first big league appearance against the Red Sox. They genuinely consider Freiman part of the family. He stands 6 feet, 7 inches, so he is called “Big Nate,” while Nathan is “Little Nate.” Recently, the entire family traveled to Arizona to attend Freiman’s wedding to Amanda Blumenherst, who is on the LPGA Tour. Mary DeBartolo, an Orleans resident and owner of the Local Scoop, welcomed Firebirds players in her home for the last two summers, and she is doing so again this season. For her, it’s about being involved with the community and extending a helping hand to others. As a single mother, she especially appreciates that the players have been excellent role models for her three teenage sons. “The ones who’ve stayed with us are all wonderful young men, and it’s been a fabulous experience,” says DeBartolo, who hosted Anthony Gomez in 2011 and then found room for three players in 2012 – Reed Gragnani, Conrad Gregor and Michael Montville. “They were like big brothers to my boys. Everybody pitched in with household chores, shopping for groceries.” When he was assigned to a host family, Gragnani did not know what to expect. “But, it was easy to relate to Mary and her boys,” he recalls. “She made us feel so comfortable. We found a system to keep things running smoothly at the house.” No one is more connected to the Bird Nests program than Nancy Nickerson, an Eastham resident who for the past 12 years has been the team’s housing coordinator. She has personally hosted more than 20 players with her husband, Rob. “Hosting not only is a rewarding experience for the families, but also for the players,” she says. “It means a great deal to them to have a home away from home, and it is reassuring for their parents to know their sons are with people who make them part of their family.” | 63 | ORL EA NS FIREBIR D S 2013 YEARB OOK Orl eansFi rebi rds.com Jarrett Arakawa with their host family Kyle, Jeremy, Davis, Sam, and Maddie Walters as well as Kim Mead-Walters. Many host moms refer to the players as their “summer sons,” notes Nickerson. “It’s a great experience to get to know players on a personal level and then spend the summer cheering them on as they pursue their baseball dreams. Most of our host families agree that the best part of the experience is the lifelong connections that are made…not only with the players, but also with their families.” The first player the Nickersons hosted was Ryan Hanigan, who now plays in Cincinnati. “He is a great Orleans success story,” she says. “He joined the team as a temporary player, played well enough to earn a full summer contract, was named to the CCBL All Star team, and signed with the Reds the week after he left us. It was very rewarding being his host family and a small part of his baseball journey.” P How to become a host family The Firebirds are very fortunate to have so many wonderful families who open their homes for the summer to our players. Without their support, our program could not exist. We deeply appreciate their commitment and generosity.

That is by far the largest attendance in the entire league, and all of us in the Firebirds organization deeply appreciate your continued, enthusiastic support over the years. This season we will need your support even more. It costs us $300,000 a year to operate the team and cover expenses such as field maintenance and repairs, housing the coaches, transporting the players, providing uniforms and equipment, buying bats and balls, etc. Contrary to popular belief, the team does not receive any direct financial support from either Major League Baseball or the town of Orleans. Despite having the Cape Cod Baseball League’s highest attendance, no income is derived from game admission, yearbook distribution to fans, Internet broadcasts or daily programs. Unlike most other CCBL teams, the Firebirds do not receive any income from food concessions at games. Instead, all funds are raised through the Orleans Athletic Association, which is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Every member of the OAA is a non-paid volunteer. Many work hundreds of hours a year tirelessly contributing to the team. The primary sources of operating income are sales from the Home Plate Shop, corporate sponsorships, fees to participate in the baseball clinic and the 50-50 raffle. That’s why we are so grateful for all your individual and business donations. To help us re- main financially strong, the OAA launched the Firebirds Fan Club in 2011. The generous outpouring of support over the past two years has enabled the team to avoid a potential financial crisis and significantly reduce our debt. The Firebirds are counting on our great fans once again. We are reaching out beyond Orleans to Eastham, Provincetown, Truro and Wellfleet residents, as well as to our many summer visitors to join our donor team and assist us so we can continue to provide this wholesome, family oriented activity. Attendance at a Firebirds’ game is the best Cape Cod summer entertainment bargain available, and the team continues to be the highlight of many vacations as well as a major source of local pride. We depend on your generous support for our survival. Please consider a financial donation to the team so this community treasure can continue to provide pleasure and entertainment for years to come. We also deeply appreciate the many businesses that advertise in this yearbook, and take out various sponsorships that support the team and its players.
