A brief history of the Philadelphia Senators Team: Players play for free. The core of
the team has been together since 9 year olds. The team comes from a radius of 10 miles from its
central field location, drawing from Philadelphia and immediate suburbs.
The team concept was to first get the boys recruited into private high schools which the
roster reflects, and now, to get the boys into college baseball programs or drafted. At this point,
almost every player has college baseball opportunity and some will be drafted in 2009 and 2010.
Though the program is a single team. Evidence of success is reflected by the only other
past Philadelphia Senators National Team that played 1991-1995, which produced 2 major
league players, 4 minor league and independent league players, 4 current high school head
coaches, and 2 former college assistant coaches. This, in a group of about 35 players from 1991-
1995.
The team built and maintains its own field (Sunoco Field) in Philadelphia. It is
considered one of the highest quality fields in the Tri-State area.
The team principally started the John Marzano Woodbat Scout League in 2007
(marzanoscoutleague.com). 2009 league competition teams will include most of top teams and
player talent in the five county Philadelphia area and South Jersey and Central New Jersey
(Senators, Allstar Baseball Academy, Bandits Baseball, Baseball U, Manto Baseball 30's,
Brooklawn American Legion, Philadelphia Reviving Baseball in the inner cities).
