L&D Amsterdam renamed its Ookmeer ballpark during a ceremony this past weekend into Loek Loevendie Ballpark. 87-year-old Loek Loevendie was the founder and long time youth coach of the Amsterdam Pirates, which are celebrating their 60th anniversary this season. Additionally the Pirates retired Charles Urbanus’ jersey number 14 alongside Peter van Erk, Ronald Stoovelaar and Rikkert Faneyte. Urbanus stepped down as head coach after last year’s season.
