The “Oldest First Base Coach in Minor League Baseball,” Art Silber was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, in the shadow of Ebbets Field. As a child he would walk his boyhood idol, Jackie Robinson, through the players’ entrance of his hometown ballpark. Today Silber wears No. 42 in honor of Robinson. As someone who wore the number prior to its retirement, Silber is one of only two people in all of professional baseball who are permitted to wear it.

Silber retired at age 55 as President/CEO of Sterling Bank in Baltimore, Maryland, and has been the team owner since 1990. Silber’s two children, Lani and Seth, serve as team president and treasurer.

WHITE AND EMILIANI KEY FREDNAT RESURGENCE IN JUNE

By Eric Bach

With the FredNats falling out of frst place and struggling to produce in run-scoring situations at the end of May, the team needed someone to step up.

T.J. White and Leandro

Emiliani answered the call.

White, the youngest player in the Carolina League (he’ll be 19 on July 23), hit a grand slam in the second game of the series in Fayetteville on June 1. That hit not only was the

difference in a 13-9 FredNat win, it also meant a lot more to White.

In the month of June, White is hitting .371 with three home runs, 12 RBIs, a double, triple, and an OPS well over 1.000 (that’s really good). He’s also taken three walks, and cut his strikeouts way down. In 38 plate appearances, White has only struck out seven times in June, well below the Minor League Baseball average (all stats as of June 12).

White, who was drafted in the ffth round by the Nationals in 2021 out of Dorman High School in Spartanburg, South Carolina, expects to have 20+ family members in attendance when the FredNats travel to Myrtle Beach to face the Myrtle Beach Pelicans from June 14-19.

Emiliani has been Mr. Clutch for the FredNats as well.

Seemingly every time the team needs a hit in a big situation, Emiliani comes through. Back in late May when the FredNats fell behind the Salem Red Sox 5-0 in a 7-inning doubleheader game, Emiliani drove in three runs, the frst two with two outs. Then, in the seventh and

fnal inning with the tying run on third base, he nearly ended the game with a double off the left feld wall. Teammate Andry Arias ended up winning the game in the next at-bat with another double to score Emiliani and win the game.

In June, Emiliani is hitting .342 with fve extra base hits and seven RBIs (stats as of June 12). He scored the winning run in the crucial series opener against Lynchburg on June 7 after driving in the frst run of the game to start the FredNat comeback, and has been steadily moving up the lineup and playing more often.

“I can’t keep these two dudes out of the lineup right now,” said FredNats Manager Jake Lowery. “They’ve shown a lot of growth and have worked really hard behind the scenes to get better every single day, and I’m so happy for them that they’re fnally starting to see some results. It’s obviously good for the team as well.”
