Jan 10, 2011 – The Delmarva Shorebirds Owner Bill Gobble, has decided to give his team a new look as well as a new name, Southern Maryland Blue Crabs ...

According to milb.com:

The Delmarva Shorebirds are proud to be one of three teams owned by 7th Inning Stretch, LLC, a Stockton,CA-based baseball ownership group, headed by Tom Volpe, the CEO of Dubai Group, a global investment company. 7th Inning Stretch was founded in 1999 when Volpe purchased the Visalia Oaks. The group moved its headquarters to Stockton when Volpe acquired the Stockton Ports in 2002. Ports President and General Manager Pat Filippone was added to the ownership group in July 2006, after serving as the CEO of the Fresno Grizzlies.

In November of 2006, 7th Inning Stretch purchased the Delmarva Shorebirds (Class A, Baltimore). The Shorebirds are based out of Salisbury, MD and play in the South Atlantic League.

It sounds like a company Lisbeth Salander should be investigating. I like the idea of a Bill Gobble owning the Shorebirds and them playing in Perdue stadium though.
