A salute to Butch Lilac
(Preview)
Sadly Butch passed recently. His obit is in the times union. Butch managed the Stillwater Tigers in the 30+ after managing many of those players as kids in youth and high school ball .

Anatomy of a Champion.
(Preview)
As I was looking through the Albany Cubs' scorebook from this past week's Roy Hobbs tournament, I realized that the stats painted a vivid picture of this team's success, but left out a very important part.

Albany Capitals @ Roy Hobbs Tournament
(Preview)
After bringing home championships in 2020 and 2021 (2022 cancelled), 2023 was not the year for the Albany Caps. Our team could not put the pitching, hitting and defense together within the same game.
