	Although called the "Bisbee Bees", the Bees actually play at Varney Park in Peoria, and represent Peoria and North Phoenix.  They maintain their ties to Bisbee by usually making at least one trip a year to play at historic Warren Ballpark in Bisbee. The Bees were founded in 2007 by John Tenney, a native of Bisbee, who named his team after an actual minor league team that played there from 1928 to 1941. Contact: Mike Dietrich
	The Glendale Gophers are a new team to the ATVBBL this season, and will play across the street from the Cardinals Stadium.  They are founded by Lance "Bulldozer" Busch, who previously played for the Phoenix Senators. Contact: Lance Busch
	The Northwest Valley Prospectors represent the combined forces of the Surprise and Sun Cities Communities Vintage Base Ball Club.  This club operates a series of teams for occasional vintage tournaments held at their home park, Liberty Field.  However, not all players could commit to a full-time league schedule.  Those that could play for the Prospectors.  Contact Forrest Kuhn for more info on the Prospectors, or playing for one of their affiliated clubs.  Contacts: Forrest Kuhn
	The Phoenix Senators were founded in 2008 by Neil Singh, and play their home games at McQueen Park in Gilbert.  They are named after an actual minor league team that played in Phoenix on and off from 1915 to 1953.  The modern-day Senators include players from all parts of the valley.
