West Virginia Black Bears History
The West Virginia Black Bears are a Minor League Baseball team based in Morgantown, West Virginia. Established in 2014, the team operates as a Class A Short Season affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The team was formed as part of the New York-Penn League and has quickly become a staple of the local sports culture in Morgantown. The franchise was created following the relocation of the Jamestown Jammers, allowing the Black Bears to inherit an already passionate fan base. They play their home games at the newly constructed Monongalia County Ballpark, which opened in 2015 and has a capacity of over 3,500 fans. The Black Bears have enjoyed a competitive presence in the league, reaching the playoffs in their inaugural season and consistently drawing crowds to their games. Their mascot, a playful bear named 'B.B. the Bear,' has become a beloved figure at home games, embodying the community spirit and enthusiasm for local sports.
