The Topeka Golden Giants are proud to announce the first group of signees for the 2010 season. Anchoring the team for the Giants are returning standouts Robbie Rea, Cory Deedrick, Tobi Cowdin, Andrew Melanson, Blake Stroth and Dale Ricketts.
With many changes in store for the team this year the returning players are more excited than ever to play in the capital city. “It shows that the team is not content just being the same program, “ said Pitcher Robbie Rea. “You want the right atmosphere and people but most of all winning.”
While collegiate summer baseball provides an entertainment option for fans it’s also a stepping-stone for each players career in baseball.
“Playing summer ball with the Golden Giants gives the player an insight into how an organization similar to a professional team runs,” said Catcher Dale Ricketts. “The lifestyle of playing everyday and the over all environment of working under coaches like the Golden Giants have.”
The Golden Giants are excited to have each one of these young men back in the fold for 2010. We will be announcing more signees in the coming weeks in preparation for an exciting summer of baseball.
