Check out the Royals fence sign sponsors and thank them for supporting the 2010 Royals!
The Valley League is back to eleven teams. The Fauquier Gators have folded (due to other personal responsibilities of the owners), and will not be replaced for 2010. The Valley League will operate with eleven teams, playing as one division, with top eight going into best of 3, best of 3, best of 5 playoffs for the championship.
The 2010 VBL season will open on Thursday, June 3 at Harrisonburg. The Turks will host local rival New Market in the first-ever "Opening Night" for the league - this will be the only game scheduled for that evening and every team in the league will be represented at the contest.
The Turks, who are moving into a new home this coming summer after Veteran's Memorial Stadium was razed in the fall of 2008, will also host the 2010 All-Star game. Luray, who was scheduled to host in 2010, will now host the mid-summer classic in 2014.
