BORA
BORA (AP) - Is no fan safe? After selling out for five years
straight, with numerous pennants and Weaver Championships,
the Belfast Bombers are taking off and are not looking back.
As
new majority owner, Sean Uezu stated at the news conference,
it's high time that the people of Polynesia get a team to
call their own.
Mr.
Uezu first tried to bring the Bombers back to his home in
Hawaii. Unfortunately, Mr. Uezu not able to get a zoning permit
for a new stadium in Kahala, Hawaii, so he has turned his
attention to Tahiti. Talking with local government officials
and businessmen, Mr. Uezu has secured land and a sponsor for
the Bombers, now renamed the Bora
Bora Surfriders.
Hinano
Field, located on the island of Bora Bora in Tahiti has been
modeled after the infamous Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, New
York. It was an amazing effort by the people of Bora Bora,
Hinano Beer Corporation and the Surfrider's new owners to
have the stadium built in time for the new season.
Mr.
Uezu finished off his press conference stating, "We did
not just bring a team to Tahiti... we brought a winning team
to Tahiti! This will be a franchise that all of Polynesia
can be pround of... and the rest of league will fear!"
Will
Bora Bora be able to maintain the winning ways of the Bombers,
or will the Surfriders wipe out? Only time will tell.
