JetHawks minor league baseball in Antelope Valley
1999 Season
Daily update on the JetHawks
The 1999 schedule is in the index bar at left.
Make no doubt about it, the Lancaster JetHawks lost at an unprecedented pace in 1999, finishing 30 games under .500. But their biggest loss may have occurred before they even boarded a bus for the Antelope Valley. Valley Press Staff Writer Dave Rasbach
wraps up the 1999 season.
Approximately one-third to one-half of the players that come to the JetHawks live with host families. The host families offer room and board at a reduced cost. But the players get much more than just a roof over their heads. August 23, 1999
After five seasons of watching and learning, Kevin Younkin will get his chance to show what he can do. Lancaster JetHawks President Mike Ellis announced Thursday that Younkin will be the first general manager of the Lancaster Stealth of the California Fall League. August 6, 1999
Success hasn't gone to Patrick Williams' head. But then again, he's always had a big head - literally, not figuratively. Williams was nicknamed "Peanut" by his father, Norris Williams Sr. August 4, 1999
Lancaster JetHawks fans weren't the only ones to become accustomed to winning the last two years. But now Garner, like every purple- and red-clad fan at Lancaster Municipal Stadium, has had to watch his team flounder through the first 89 games of the '99 season. July 14, 1999
Daron Kirkreit's facebrightened momentarily when I said the magic words last Saturday night. "I saw you pitch in Riverside. . ." A slight grin broke out just long enough to provide the response he's provided more than once. June 24, 1999
Although it may not always seem like it, hard work still matters today. Persistence is also just as important. Need proof? Just take a look at Lancaster catcher/utility man Greg Connors. June 22, 1999
He has bigger dreams in baseball, but Lancaster JetHawks right-hander Brandon Parker already has come a long way. Not so much in terms of his career. And not so much in terms of miles. But in terms of being in a completely different world than what he is accustomed. June 21, 1999
JetHawks Vice President and General Manager Matt Ellis announced that part of the ownership group that owns the Lancaster franchise completed purchase of its third minor league team. May 5, 1999
Justin Kaye has regained that competitive fire and confidence that makes him feel nearly invincible when he enters the game. Valley Press Staff Writer Dave Rasbach profiles the prolific JetHawks' pitcher. April 27, 1999
As the JetHawks open their 1999 home schedule, Burleson again will be part of the celebration at The Hangar. But things will be different this time. Burleson still will work from the third-base coach's box, but this time he won't have to cross home plate to return to the dugout. April 14, 1999
Of the 25 players on the Lancaster roster, 15 will be making their Cal League debut, and only four of the remaining 10 players have seen duty with the JetHawks. Inexperience and other factors, Garner feels, may be his team's advantage to open on the road. April 8, 1999
The JetHawks openthe season at Bakersfield with two "utility players" - Greg Connors and Craig Kuzmic. Both hope to change the misconception of what being a utility player is, and prove that one - or two, for that matter - can be a valuable asset to a team. April 8, 1999
Don't start memorizing these names. In fact, don't even bother writing them down. Chances are, not many of the faces that go with these names will be getting off a bus at Lancaster Municipal Stadium in early April. March 9, 1999
As he coached third base for the Seattle Mariners in a morning spring training exhibition against the Korean League champion Hanwha Eagles, Darrin Garner kept coming back to one thought. He can't wait until the setting is The Hangar. March 8, 1999
