On March 30, 2009, the Atlantic City Surf organization ceased operations,[1] leaving the Can-Am League with six teams.

The team was to compete in the 2019 season[2] — however success quickly became "unlikely"[3] and there currently are no indications that professional baseball will return to Atlantic City.

Atlantic City historically has never enjoyed much success as a venue for professional sports teams and baseball has been no exception.

[citation needed] Other notable players for the Giants included Oliver Marcelle, Smokey Joe Williams, "Pop" Lloyd, and Arthur "Rats" Henderson.

Relief pitcher Matt Pike received the Reliever of the Year award for his league leading 24 saves.

The Surf continued their success finishing 51-43 (4th overall record) and once again in the playoffs, this time losing to the Quebec Capitales 3 games to 1 in the opening round.

The Surf joined fellow league member Ottawa Voyageurs in ceasing operations for the 2009 season.
