Our ballpark here at the Jersey Shore has consistently been considered one of the top ballparks in all of Minor League Baseball. Opening in 2001 when the BlueClaws came to the Jersey Shore, the park features 6,588 reserve seats plus a 360-degree concourse complete with two expansive grass berms. Hospitality areas include 16 Luxury Suites, two Party Decks, two Picnic Areas, and the RWJBarnabas Health Champions Club, a triple-box, indoor party suite.
An 1,859 square-foot state-of-the-art video board was installed prior to the 2015 season.
Since 2001, Lakewood, New Jersey has become a stop along the road for some of the best players in the Phillies organization. BlueClaws fans have seen the likes of NL MVP Ryan Howard and World Series MVP Cole Hamels at the Shore before they became All-Stars and eventually World Champions, but many others have come through Lakewood to make the big leagues as well. The list that follows represents the players that have played in Lakewood and made it to the top level of professional baseball, the Major Leagues.
