As seen in today issue of The Trentonian, last year's Thunder players (at least those at the minor league complex) received their championship rings from the 2008 season. Some, like pitcher Mark Melancon, who played significant time for the Thunder and the S/W-B Yankees, received two rings: One for the Thunder and one for Scranton's title.

Also in The Trentonian is an article written by yours truly updating some of the Thunder's performances during the spring. There's a stat box in the print edition, so go pick up a copy and keep up with all your heroes from last season.

The Trentonian will be putting out a special Thunder section on April 6. The section will contain in-depth details about the players, a dissection of the team's comings and goings since the end of the ELCS, analysis of the team's chances for a threepeat and much more.
