Introducing your new Voice of the Shockers 🎙️
Denning Gerig is a Wichita State alum and a familiar voice to Shocker fans who have listened to him on ESPN+ and on the radio with Mike Kennedy at road baseball games.
Full Story 📝 GoShockers.com/Voice
First job in professional baseball was as a broadcast intern for the Saltdogs. We clinched the first half division that year. Will never forget Charlie coming up to the booth and pouring a beer on us while we were wrapping up the postgame show to make us a part of the celebration. Would always come and say hello in the years that followed. Longest tenured employee in American Association history and just a truly good human being. First ballot AA Hall of Famer. Congrats and thank you Charlie!
Thank you, Charlie Meyer.
After more than 26 years leading the Lincoln Saltdogs, Charlie’s impact on this organization, Haymarket Park, and the Lincoln community is impossible to measure. From championship moments to the everyday memories that made the ballpark special, his leadership helped shape Saltdogs baseball into what it is today.
Wishing Charlie all the best in retirement! We’ll see you at the ballpark, just in a different seat.

Updated all-time independent baseball record book through 2025: steve-schuster.shinyapps.io/…
Missing a few leagues (most notably the Pecos League since 2023 and the United Shore League since 2024), but this is otherwise a complete register of modern indy ball since its birth in 1993.
Can sort/aggregate single-season and career records by player, league, and franchise.
Keon Barnum (30 back) and Jabari Henry (33 back) with a legitimate chance to break the all-time indy HR record established by John O'Brien (Charlie's brother) from 1994-2001.
Full List of Missing Leagues:
United Shore (2024-25)
Pecos (2023-25)
Empire (2016-22)
Thoroughbred (2017)
North Country (2015)
Freedom Pro (2012-13)
New York State (2007-12)

A man who truly needs no introduction.
Congratulations to former Goldeyes manager and player Rick Forney on being inducted into the @AA_Baseball Hall of Fame! 👏

Jeff helped build the foundation for two of independent baseball's most storied franchises in Winnipeg and Fargo-Moorhead. The RedHawks' dynasty teams of the 90s/2000s remain the gold standard, and the industry as a whole wouldn't be where it is today without him. RIP legend.
The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks are saddened to announce that longtime pitcher, coach and front office staff member Jeff Bittiger passed away Saturday at his home in Pennsylvania after a private battle with cancer. He was 63.
Bitt will be remembered for his determination on and off the field, his love for the game of baseball and the countless players he coached and helped to greater career success.

Took six years, but finally joined the four plate club. Had to be for two reps and had to be wearing the Driveline shirt. Backed it up for another double. Retiring from lifting and need a new hobby.
A love letter to indy ball enthusiasts: steve-schuster.shinyapps.io/…
An all-time register you can aggregate by team/franchise/league/player/career, plus a map of every player where their birthplace is on record.
This Reggie moment has always stood above any of the statistical achievements. At the end of the 2017 championship celebration, Reggie went out of his way to give props to our closer who had a tough finish to the season.
Congrats to Tyler on a phenomenal career. Tore up indy ball and forced his way back to an organization two different times. Grade A person off the field who always played the game hard on it. Excited for his transition into player development.
Exciting, but bittersweet news: I have accepted a minor league analyst role with the New York Mets. Unsure of where it will ultimately lead, but it is the right fit at the right time and will allow for significantly more time with family back home.
The engagement and electricity you create at Shaw Park is unmatched, and your knowledge of the game and the team are what glues the rich history of the franchise together.
