While our Boys of Summer did not get to play their 2020 Season at McKeon Park, many of them found interesting and creative ways to fill their time and continue to pursue their baseball dreams. Take the time to read about some of our full time players from the lost 2020 season and what they did over the summer.

Hyannis Harbor Hawks 2020: Getting to Know Them

While we lost our season for 2020, the Hyannis Harbor Hawks have been hard at work switching gears to plan for baseball in 2021. With that, we are excited to announce our schedule for next year's summer season!

To Our Harbor Hawks Supporters, Fans and Families:

This afternoon, the Cape Cod Baseball League Executive Committee made the unanimous vote to cancel the 2020 Cape Cod League Season. This decision was not an easy one. The players, the coaches, the umpires, host families, volunteers and fans alike all need to be protected during this health crisis. 

For the Harbor Hawks family, this is not easy news to digest. We understand how hard it is to hear these words. Host families were lined up and ready to open their homes to the young men arriving to play baseball. These aspiring young athletes have not only missed out on their Spring college season, but are now facing the rest of the summer without organized baseball. Countless numbers of volunteers have already put in hours of work to make sure that merchandise is ready to go, our snack bar is cleaned and stocked and our fields are prepared. 

We know that hundreds of people have invested countless hours and even more were  looking forward to a summer staple on Cape Cod. The Harbor Hawks Community is committed to bringing high quality baseball to the Cape as part of the Cape Cod Baseball League and we will continue to work throughout the summer and off season to make sure that 2021 is a huge success.

We will miss our Harbor Hawks family over the summer. Stay in touch by following our Facebook page and visiting our web site.

Wishing you continued good health and safety during these unprecedented times.

Stay Well, 

Brad Pfeifer, President

HYANNIS, Mass. – After 35 years of baseball coaching experience, veteran mentor Gary Calhoun has been named field manager of the Hyannis Harbor Hawks of the Cape Cod Baseball League.

“I’m honored to be joining Hyannis and work with some of the elite players in the country with the Cape League,” said Calhoun. “Looking forward to getting up there and working with our coaches and people in the organization and community.”

Calhoun replaces long-time Harbor Hawks mentor Chad Gassman, who departed Hyannis last month to became athletic director at Waldorf University in Iowa.

Gassman led the Harbor Hawks to three West Division titles and was Cape League Manager of the Year in 2011, working with then-GM and current league VP Bill Bussiere and current GM Tino DiGiovanni.

Last summer, Calhoun managed Keene Swamp Bats to the 2019 NECBL Championship and brings recognition by peers as a top college coach over the past three-plus decades.

“Gary Calhoun brings vast coaching experience, a wealth of baseball knowledge and a positive national reputation,” said Hyannis General Manager Tino DiGiovanni. "It’s the beginning of a new Hyannis Harbor Hawks chapter."

Prior to entering the coaching ranks, Calhoun played for Florida Southern

College, winning a national championship in 1976.

Upon graduating, Calhoun spent several years playing pro baseball and coached several New Yankees’ Minor League teams from 1997-2006.

Additionally, he spent time coaching in the Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers minor league systems. Calhoun has been assistant coach at St. Leo College, Florida Southern and University of South Florida.

From 1987-2015, he was head coach at Hillsborough CC in Tampa, Fla., winning NJCAA Coach of the Year honors in 1988 and named national coach of the year in 1988.

He spent a decade coaching pro baseball in the Gulf Coast League (NY Yankees), New York-Penn League (Detroit Tigers) and Pioneer League (Milwaukee Brewers).

The Hyannis Harbor Hawks, formerly Hyannis Mets, are a collegiate summer baseball team based in Hyannis, Mass. The team is a member of the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL) and plays in the league's West Division.

The Harbor Hawks play home games at renovated Judy Walden Scarafile Field at McKeon Park, which has new electronic message board. Team is owned and operated by non-profit Hyannis Athletic Association.

Hyannis won Cape League titles in 1978-79 and 1991 and in 1979 set league records for wins (33), points (67), batting avg (.314), total bases (724) and runs (348).

The Harbor Hawks advanced to league championship series in 2015, where they fell to Y-D. Hyannis finished one point behind Wareham in West Division in 2018.
