Jim Bouton
(Preview)
Reading the paper I was saddened to read of the passing of Jim Bouton. As a teen, reading his books brought a lot into focus. The people in his books lived like we do, had the same foibles and failings and enjoyed what they did in their way. He humanized a game and class of people - actually made them more acc...

Twins-Pirates Results
(Preview)
The Twins defeated the Pirates at New Scotland last night 20-8. Scoring in each of the first 3 innings, the Twins jumped to a 7-0 lead, but the Pirates came back with 4 runs in the bottom of the 4th, with the big blow being a bases loaded single off the bat of Jim Ansel. Motivated by the Pirates challenge, th...

I had the opportunity to play in a Matinee Division game today. It was good competition and anyone going south in the fall should take advantage of this. Big thanks to Jim McQuade and Jimmy K for organizing and getting this Division off the ground.

Dodgers vs. Cardinals
(Preview)
The Dodgers and Cardinals met at Watervliet HS for the first of two games this week in phase two of the 55+ division season. Crafty veteran John Latorre took the mound for the red birds and had the Dodgers' batters shaking their heads on the way back to the dugout. "I was way out in front". "Ugh, right off t...

Giants 10 Cubs 5

Good friends and November teammates got together at New Scotland last night, and a great game broke out. At least it was a great game through 5 full innings. The Cubs held a 5-3 advantage over the Giants entering the top of the 6th inning. The Cubs defense, in the top of the 6th inning, set back the game of b...

Yankees- Twins Result
(Preview)
55 Yankees came from behind to defeat the Twins 6-4 at Watervliet last night. The Twins had to accept a tough call in the 5th with two outs when, with a runner on first, Wayne Nicholsen, not known for his leg speed, hit a screaming line drive that went over the Yankees left fielders head and rolled under th...
