WELCOME TO THE COA ANGELS 2025 SEASON

COA Angels Baseball:

The COA Angels baseball team competes in the South Jersey Mens Senior Baseball League in the 21+ North Division. The Angels are currently training for the 2025 season and in 2018 won the NJABL Amateur Championship having compiled an undefeated 20-0-2 record that year. The Angels are the brainchild of friends Jon Di Lisa, a Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Jon Macciocca, a high school baseball standout in his own right. The two friends, who are persons in long-term recovery, asked City of Angels to sponsor the team and to fulfill their ultimate dream to play baseball once again. The Angels inaugural season was in 2014. Today, the Angels Captains are Xavier Rodrigues and Cole McManimon. . If you take notice of the Angels team jerseys…they were presented to the team in 2014 by MLB’s Los Angeles Angels and were actual team jerseys worn in Los Angeles’ 2011, 50^th Anniversary season. Overcoming adversity is a constant for the Angel’s team, as they dealt with the tragic deaths of their first pitcher Sage Ferraro, 3^rd baseman Brian Low, catcher Chris Kline, former player Anthony Corso and in August 2023, volunteer Megan McNellis, from a rare infection. The Angels partner with the Trenton Thunder to present Addiction Awareness Night coming on August 23, 2025 and their Annual Sage Ferraro Memorial Game, being played Saturday, May 24, 2024 at Trenton Thunder BallPark.
