To my esteemed CDMSBL colleagues, John Corrigan and Jim Edelman: Gentlemen, Thank you for your thoughtful comments on my recent post. I am concerned, however, with John Corrigan's suggestion that Ron Jeel and John Reel are one and the same. Forgive me John C, but after combing through every word of S...
Another cool night for baseball in Schenectady last evening. Final score Whiz over the Twins 148. The Whiz had 11 hits while the TWINS had 17 hits. 7 Twins had a multiple hit game as did 3 of the Whiz. The big difference was four twins pitchers were charged with 15 walks while the Whiz pitching staff was ch...
Watervliet high school field last night, cold, clammy, wet. But, Dennis Lane had the home plate area and the mound covered nicely, and by the time the first pitch was thrown there was no rain. Our old old friend Jeff Whitehead took the mound for the Peppers and pitched the first three allowing no runs an...
HEY FELLOW CDMSBL PLAYERS: A HEAD'S UP: BELOW IS A REPEAT: THREE MESSAGES AT THE END OF THE LAST DOUBTLESS WAY-TOO-LONG THREAD. WHICH MAY HAVE PUT OFF LOTS OF POTENTIAL READERS. SO I CUT TO A SHORTER VERSION. THE THREE MESSAGES BELOW ARE THE FINAL THREE FROM THE LONG THREAD AND I THINK THEY CAPTURED THE C...
My across-the-street neighbor, Spike Gonard, is reputed to be one of the best softball players in his league, even now in his 60s.

In a nutshell, the arachnids came out of the gate strong and put five runs on the board in the bottom of the first inning powered by 4 base hits and 3 walks plus on...
Hey guys We need to abide by the Town of North Greenbush rules governing the use of this field. No drinking anywhere on the premises. Tarps must be placed back on the pitchers' mound and home plate. Remove from the dugouts what you bring in. The pitchers' mound is artificial, so no metal spikes allowed....
The two teams that have won the past five 55+ championships, renewed their rivalry on the field last night at Kuhn Field, in Cook Park. What transpired was a very crisply played game that took around 90 minutes. After Cubs' starter, Mike Girard, set down the Whiz in order in the top of the first, The Cubs...
The visiting Twins got on the scoreboard first as Stefan Koutsakis doubled to open the game, moved to third on a 43 ground out by Jeff Whitehead and scored on a Steve Rychcik single. Rychcik moved to third on a McCarthy ground out to first and scored when Jim Tinos grounder to second was misplayed. 2-0 Tw...
