The start of baseball in Syracuse signals spring and new beginnings. Despite the team’s record in April we are always hopeful.

This year the Syracuse Chiefs did a great job selecting SU grad student Lena Pringle as the on-air announcer. Her spirited attitude and passion for the team and our region are just what we need in times like these. Sometimes we need to see someone else zealous about the things we take for granted.

If Jason Smorol is Mr. Excitement for the Chiefs, Pringle is definitely Ms. Enthusiasm.

In business we’d call this a strategic fit.

Lena Pringle brings Southern Hospitality and excitement to the Chiefs home games this season.

Opening day for the Syracuse Chiefs was full of energy,  excitement, and possibilities despite the loss to 4-1 loss to Scranton/Wilkes Barre. The long lines and carnival atmosphere almost made you forget it was a chilly 48 degrees on Thursday.

The new management has made an concerted effort to bring some excitement to Triple-A baseball here in the city. We hope it lasts.

JS: Mr. Excitement
