Podcast appearances and mentions of tom reisenweber

After a year and a half without minor league baseball in Erie, PA, and that same year and a half often filled with fear and trepidation due to both the COVID pandemic, and the MLB's contacration of the minor leagues, on Tuesday, we reached a much-sought after milestone: the Erie Seawolves Home Opener. The Joel Natalie Show broadcasted live from the newly-renovated UPMC Park, where some $16 million was spent to give Erie fans a best-in-class game experience. With us to explain it all and celebrate with us was Ed Snyder, Director for Sports Facilities for Erie Events, Greg Gania, Erie Seawolves Assistant GM, Greg Coleman, Team President, and Tom Reisenweber, Sports Reporter on the Seawolves beat for the Erie Times-News/GoErie.com.

We began the week with a recap of how the restart of high school sports, especially football, went at our Erie County school districts. GoErie.com/Erie Times-News sports reporter Tom Reisenweber shared his experiences covering the weekend games and the ongoing controversy over spectator limits at school events.

Tom Reisenweber has been working in the Erie area for over a decade. He has covered high school and college sports in addition to other local teams and events.
