Batting 2nd and a Frenzy favorite is SS Benny McCafferty. Benny grew up in a small Commonwealth in Massachusetts, and really enjoyed going up to Vermont in the summer to watch his favorite football team the Vermont Gentlemen. He also has fond memories going apple picking with his butler while his parents helped reaserch cures for the AIDS epidemic in Africa. He has chosen the witty rhymes of the astute Professor Elemental, as they remind him of many tiffs that often led to fisticuffs on the school yard.
Next up is a player the supporters feel could really make magic in Niagara; Bernardo Guzman. Guzman comes from a small mountain town in southern Mexic. Ecatepec is known more for its pottery than its baseball, but Guzman was discovered, and hoped to bring fame to his small town. In the offseason he enjoys going back to his family's farm and refines his animal husbandry skills. He has chosen a song, that not only highlights his Hispanic heratage, but also combines his love for the beautiful game of football.
Manuel Dominguez was called up last year and played great ball in 69 games. Manuel defected from Cuba during his teen years floating across the ocean on a homeade raft of empty soda bottles that he collected and made himself. He looks to follow up a good rookie campaign with solid play. He chose a song that reminds him of many afternoons on the beach enjoying the sunset.
In the DH spot we have Russell "The Big Flop" Phillips. Phillips tore through the league his rookie year, but has been nothing but disappointing since. He grew up in the Adirondack region of New York in the town of Brighton. He has always loved the indie culture of The Big Apple, and now resides in Brooklyn where he can keep close tabs on the hipster scene. In the offseason he can be found at many bars and coffee shops taking in the local scene, or smoking a cigar in his skinny jeans and flannel on his rooftop where he also keeps a award winning azaleas garden.
Robbie McLaughlin grew up in Rosemont, California, and while he was located in "NorCal" he fell in love with the scene in Orange County. He once dreamed of being a pro skater, and has since opened up a skate and surf shop in Huntington Beach where he takes up residence in the off season While he was a big fan of the band Elora while growing up, he chose to use a song, by a personal friend MC Batcommander who is the lead singer of the ska band The Aquabats. McLaughlin plans on making a guest appearance on MC Batcommander's t.v. shows The Aquabats Super Show and Yo Gabba Gabba sometime this year.
Eddie Miller, the long time Frenzy favorite has played his entire career with the club. He grew up in Virginia Beach. He still lives there in the off season where he owns a Fiat dealership. He is one of the "Old Men" of the club at age 31, and enjoys sitting on the back patio with a good book and his dogs. Growing up he was much different, a rebellious teen, he took to punk rock as an escape, and a way to spite his parents. Luckily he stuck with baseball, and his liberty spikes were able to fit under his helmet because he has quietly made quite a career for himself in the BSA.
Dean Phillips who is coming off a impressive season at third base, is still a bit of a loose cannon. He is known around Niagara as a partier. He can often be seen at the many strip clubs and casinos late into the night. He was arrested by the mounties last season for possession of cocaine after he was pulled over with 2 hookers in the back of his 1987 Buick Grand National. He was ordered to complete 100 hours of community service, and he also issued an apology to the club and the fans. He has since cleaned up his act, and become quite the movie buff, and even writes a weekly piece in the newspaper, about films that he grew up watching.

Lastly we have Walt Taylor, who has been a mediocre catcher for the Frenzy, but somehow he keeps his job. Walt resides in Scottsdale, Arizona where he grew up, rumor has it he still lives in his parents basement. Taylor always tries to keep up with the trends and recently has become obsessed with kpop.
