New Orleans — Tulane University moved into Baseball America’s Top 25 this week, just days after CodBall interviewed three of the Green Wave’s Cape Cod Baseball League players in New Orleans.

Aja Barto (Falmouth), Preston Claiborne (Falmouth), and Seth Henry (Wareham) spoke with us beneath the bleachers at New York Mets’ Triple-A Affiliate Zephyr Field near the New Orleans airport. The team is playing there while their regular field undergoes repairs, delayed by the devastation of hurricane Katrina.

See our March 28th posting for a complete scouting report on the Cape-rich Tulane baseball team.

Barto, Henry and Claiborne talked about their decisions to play summer league baseball on the Cape, going pro and the Tulane Green Wave’s season.

Listen to that conversation recorded March 27th, 2007 in New Orleans just after Tulane defeated Nicholls State.

    On an unrelated note…did anyone notice the interesting information about homeruns in the Cape League broken down by each field on the Wareham site? Look in their “Gatemen Notes” section and scroll down to the entry from February 20th. It has a very interesting table showing the HR’s by ballpark and by year with totals….good stuff.

    I must say that the Gatemen site is just a terrific source of information. Not even the league site is updated as often and with such great information. I know it has been mentioned before but that franchise just seems to run like clockwork…the website is great, the GM is topnotch (J. Wylde), they seem to be forever investing in their ballpark, they are contenders more times than not and just seem to put in a little more effort than a lot of teams. Kudos to the Gatemen.
