Sidick back for 6th season
The Wild Things announced today that center fielder Chris Sidick, pictured, has been re-signed for the 2010 season, which will be his sixth in the Frontier League.A Cecil Township native, Sidick holds several league records, including career games (430), hits (460), at-bats (1,625), triples (44) and walks (256). He also holds nearly all of the Wild Things' career hitting records. Two that he does not hold are doubles and RBI.
A career .283 hitter, Sidick batted .240 last year with 61 runs, 81 hits, nine doubles, seven triples, nine home runs and 38 RBI. Sidick had a 16-game hitting streak and 24-game on-base streak last season. In 2008, he batted .311 with a career high in doubles (16) and RBI (45) and a league-leading nine triples.
“Chris has accomplished so much in his career with the Wild Things. We are proud of his contributions both to the team and to the local community," said Todd Marlin, managing director of the Wild Things.
According to Tim Perry, the Frontier League's unofficial historian, Fran Riordan, John Tavares and Phil Warren each played six years in the FL. Among pitchers, Matt Schweitzer and ex-Wild Things standout Aaron Ledbetter played six seasons. Schweitzer, a left-hander, is the only player in league history to play six seasons with a single team (Richmond 2000-05).

Best of luck to Sidick this year. I hope they are able to put a winning team on the field again.
a month out from the start of the season and it seems NO ONE cares about the Wild Things.
That is to be expected after what they've done the last few years both on and off the field
You must care.If you didn'tcare.You would not post.Then what do you expect from someone who has no class.

Great to see Sidick return for another season! Any word on whether the Wild Things will add the one "Vet-2" player to the roster? Does Brett Grandstrand have any desire to play another year, and be that player?
He should at least come back for the Corn Hole thing!
