The Lancaster Barnstormers were originally owned by Opening Day Partners (ODP), a company that specializes in baseball club and stadium operations. ODP also created Atlantic League clubs in York, Pennsylvania, Southern Maryland, and Sugar Land, Texas. On November 12, 2014, ODP transitioned their ownership of the Barnstormers to Lancaster Baseball LLC to focusing solely on the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. Lancaster Baseball comprises Ian Ruzow, Rob Liss, Steve Zuckerman, and Bob Zuckerman, who are all native Lancastrians and founders of Clipper Magazine—the Barnstormers' naming rights partner.
