IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - May 24, 2010) - [ XnE, Inc. ] (
The Maui-based [ Na Koa Ikaika Maui ] will debut this season in the independent Golden Baseball League, which began play May 19.The Professional Baseball team will have their home opener on Tuesday June 8, 2010; they will host the Tijuana Cimarrones.
[ Na Koa Ikaika Maui ] -- the Hawaiian language translation roughly means the strong warriors of Maui -- is one of the more interesting additions to pro baseball on many fronts. Take for example the uniforms; they are black, red or green with their name across the front in yellow and red, the right shoulder sports the Hawaiian Islands and on the right sleeve is the team logo of a warrior.
Maui will play at Iron Maehara Stadium (named after a Hawai'i-based pro scout for the Dodgers), which was the home of the Maui Stingrays during Hawaii Winter Baseball. While Maui's population is about a fourth of Oahu's (roughly 900,000), the island known as the Valley Isle showed the most support for pro baseball during HWB's first stint. The Stingrays led the league in attendance each season of its existence. One of the reasons for that is that the Stingrays were the island's primary sports team, whereas on Oahu, the majority of the populace follows University of Hawai'i sports.
Coincidentally, of the four players from Hawai'i in the big leagues, three -- Athletics catcher Kurt Suzuki, Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino and Mariners right-hander Kanekoa Texeira -- are from Maui. Only Mariners right-hander Brandon League is from Oahu.
Michael Cummings, CEO of XnE, Inc., stated that "this is a very exciting time for the company and we are very anxious to get to the Home Opener on June 8th to bring back Professional Baseball back to Maui and the Hawaiian Islands."
