In September 2010, Richard Chalmers, with Baseball Ventures of Louisiana, announced the acquisition of the Acadiana Cane Cutters baseball team. The team is part of the Texas Collegiate League, which is a wooden bat league comprised of college baseball players. The team will be owned and run by local people, and the team will own an interest in the league.
The ownership has a real focus on community and it shows in the amount of community events that the team and the field host. If you come to one of the games while you are in Lafayette you may get to see one of their popular community programs in action. The ‘Field of Dreams’ program gives children of the Acadiana area the opportunity to take the field with the players of the Cane Cutters. There is only one ‘Field of Dreams’ team per game but the team chosen gets to accompany the Cane Cutters to their positions during the introduction of the starting line-up and will remain on the field during the National Anthem. After the game the team is invited to stay and take pictures and get autographs from Cane Cutters.
If you are traveling to Lafayette for business or are hosting a meeting with the Homewood Suites we can partner with Fabacher Field to organize a special team building event for you if you’d like. This is a great way to add some fun to your meeting!
We’re really excited about the 2011 roster since they have acquired All-American, former Teurlings Catholic standout and current Alabama Crimson Tide outfielder, Taylor Dugas. The junior was named to the 2011 Preseason National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association All-America Team.
The 60 league games run from the beginning of June to the middle of August. The Cane Cutters will play their home games at Fabacher Field, which is currently going through an expansion to accommodate the home schedule.
