Bangor Lumberjacks

The Lumberjacks met the Jackals in the first round of the playoffs and were quickly eliminated, losing in four games despite having the pitchers with the two best ERA (JC Huguet and Jerry Long) in the league and postseason All-Star Derry Hammond, who hit 23 home runs.

Whereas the Lumberjacks had won three league championships in New York, the team failed to win one in their two years in Maine.

The 2003 roster featured former Major League pitcher Jeff Sparks who had spent parts of two seasons (23 appearances) with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

[1] In 2004, the Lumberjacks' lone player with MLB service was left-handed pitcher Clayton Andrews who had appeared in eight games in 2000 with the Toronto Blue Jays.

A regular in Bangor's starting rotation, Andrews posted a 7-3 record with a 4.06 ERA in 84 1/2 innings.
