[edit] History
The BlueSox were formed by former Pennsylvania State Representative Leo Trich, Jr. in Washington, Pennsylvania in 2006 as part of the Tri-State Collegiate Baseball League.[1][2] After renovations were completed at Pullman Park in 2008, Trich decided to move the Washington BlueSox to Butler as a founding member of the Prospect League. The team officially became part of the league in December 2008.[2] The team went 28(W)-26(L) during their 2009 inaugural season in Butler. Trich remains majority owner of the team, but in 2011 he added five additional owners to the management team. Former MLB pitcher, and Butler native Matt Clement is one of the owners. In late 2011, an agreement was reached to keep the BlueSox in Butler through the 2013 season.
[edit] 2012 Season
For the 2012 season, four additional games were added to the 56 game schedule. The opening day game is slated for May 29.
