The FerryHawks are a new Staten Island baseball team that will play in professional baseball’s high
quality Atlantic League in the spring of 2022. Our team name was chosen after an extensive community
and fan recommendation process. The FerryHawks will play at the ballpark by the Staten Island Ferry
and a trip to see a game at the FerryHawk’s playground is not your traditional baseball experience! A
FerryHawk game is part circus, part festival all while a baseball game is played!
What is a FerryHawk?
A FerryHawk is a fun loving, baseball playing superhero that combines the
power, toughness and persistence of the Staten Island Ferry and the red tailed and cooper’s hawks that
are seen around Staten Island. The Staten Island Ferry is the iconic symbol of Staten Island, a tough
workhorse that has served generations of Islanders and attracts millions of tourists. Red tailed and
cooper’s hawks are apex predators. They have outstanding vision (helpful to differentiate balls and
strikes), can fly up to 120 mph (think Rickey Henderson base-stealing speed) and are loyal and
strong-willed (just like our fans).
