Franchise History - The history of this franchise starts in the Big Apple…New York City. The team was the Meteors, hailing out of Queens. They made their first and only playoff appearance in Season 1, taking the NL East with a losing record (80-82). They were knocked out in the first round and have never returned. The Meteors stayed a little worse than mediocre through Season 5 until they were sold to warswics. They stayed in Flushing Meadow in Season 6, renaming themselves the Baseball Giants and providing the New York fans a giant disappointment. After yet another losing season, warswics pulled a Walter O’Malley, took his marbles and ran to Durham. He renamed the team the Warbulls and gave baseball ownership one more shot. He was able to provide the franchise their first ever winning season (83-79) but decided to hang it up when he fell in love with a part time model he met while having kebabs in downtown Durham. The franchise was bought by former team owner bobkordecki, who decided he wanted to bring baseball back to New Jersey. He bought the team, named them the Toll Booths and moved them to Trenton, a former site of one of the franchises we have yet to cover.
Franchise Outlook - This team has a solid young core. International Free Agent Jesus Urbina is one of the young leaders of the squad with Santos Olivo, Sherm Good and Edgardo Rosario also providing leadership roles. The team was also active in free agency, signing pitchers Don Lee and Freddy Bunning to lucrative contracts. The writers at GSPN thinks the Trenton squad can make a playoff run this year and the Toll Booth fans hope that their team will stay this time for many years to come.
