| - The Lancaster Barnstormers are an Atlantic League team based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Since the 2005 season, they have played in the South Division of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, which is not affiliated with Major League Baseball. The Barnstormers enter the 2007 season as the reigning Atlantic League champions. The team plays at Clipper Magazine Stadium on the northwestern side of the city. Even though the Barnstormers play in the city of Lancaster, the team represents all of Lancaster County. Baseball fans in Lancaster waited 44 years for the return of baseball since the Lancaster Red Roses folded after the 1961 season. In 2003, Lancastrians chose the name Barnstormers over Red Roses in a name-the-team contest. The name "Barnstormers" refers to the act of "barnstorming," which means to travel around an area appearing in exhibition sports events, especially baseball games. Lancaster County's farmland hosted many of these exhibition games during the early 1900s. The Lancaster Barnstormers' logo was designed with local history in mind, as the team colors of navy blue, red, and khaki were the same colors used by Lancaster's former team, the Red Roses. The name and logo also reference the numerous farms in the surrounding county, many of which are Amish. The Lancaster Barnstormers sometimes are given the nickname of the "'Stormers." The Barnstormers management is nicknamed "The Barn."
