	The Trentonian - Sports - 05/27/2003 - NAVIGATING THROUGH TROUBLED WATERS: Attendance lags after Norwich, Yankees end ...
		Navigators General Manager Keith Hallal said he is not concerned by the drop in attendance, blaming the weather more than the affiliation switch for the slow start.
		Yesterday was the ninth game the Navigators have had to cancel this season, and Saturday the crowd was announced at 2,357 but by the end of a dismal, rainy doubleheader less than 100 people remained in the stands.
		Norwich, however, is not alone in its struggle with the weather.

	Cervenak is one mayor glad to be out of office
		Norwich is known for its beautiful Victorian homes, its colonial district, and the two large Indian casinos just a dice toss away.
		He has put Norwich in his rearview mirror for good, although baseball people, cruel as they are, will never let him forget how long he was there.
		Cervenak had a great season in Norwich but said the Yankees would not promote him because the Navigators were in the hunt for the Eastern League title, which they eventually won, and wanted to keep their best players there.

		Tufts graduate and Norwich Navigators head honcho Louis DiBella is in the midst of revamping his newly-purchased minor league baseball team in a major way.
		That was the theory hatched by Norwich Navigators owner Louis J. DiBella, who arranged for the first 1,000 fans at last Thursday night’s game to receive fake, frizzy, salt-and-pepper headgear, modeled after the mane of sports celebrity Don King.
		Bringing longtime boxing buddy King to Connecticut’s Dodd Stadium, home of the minor league Norwich Navigators, was just one piece of DiBella’s plan to generate a buzz about his struggling minor league team that would help bring fans back to the ballpark.

		The rumor of Norwich’s death is greatly exaggerated.
		It’s true enough that the Yankees turned tail on the Navigators after the 2002 season and moved to Trenton, N.J. With the departure of the Bombers, the lucrative trail of rehabbing major leaguers dried up.

		Today the Norwich Navigators announced plans to stay in Norwich through 2009, ending speculation that Connecticut was about to lose its second Eastern League team in as many years (the New Haven Ravens left Yale Field last year for Manchester, New Hampshire, where they are faring ever so slightly better in terms of attendance).
		Attendance has been falling since the newness of the team wore off (168,559 last year, down from 281,473 in 1995) and the stadium is out in the middle of a big patch of nothing that bills itself as an industrial park.
		But Norwich counts itself lucky that the Navs are staying at all.

	sidearm delivery: Norwich Navigators change name, get mistaken for Arena Football League team
		The Norwich (Ct.) Navigators, the Double-A Eastern League affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, recently announced that they have changed their name to the Connecticut Defenders.
		And that coming from someone who has spent most of their life living in Norwich and use to be a season ticket holder for the Navigators.
		I lived for a couple of years in Norwich, myself, and though the area itself is a fairly drab market, I do think that the Navigators (um, Defenders) have a great facility, and they usually put a good team on the field.
