Well guys, the 50+ Albany Capitals experienced our worst case scenario in this years 2017 Fall Classic. We were eliminated early in this years tournament and are now faced with 2 days of 84 degree temperatures, being on the beach or hanging by the pool/hot tub, counting the clouds go by.

We had a nice game today against the DC Mustang A's on a beautiful field at the Yankees player development complex. They took an early lead, but we came back to jump ahead 5-2 in the 3rd. They scored, we scored, they scored again, and so it went. We held a narrow one run lead heading to their ABs in the bottom...
I have had the pleasure of knowing Jesse Braverman for many years as a teammate on the Whiz Kids. He is always ready to do whatever the team needs, be it as a player, BP pitcher, fungo hitter, etc. Don't let the "aw, shucks" persona fool you. He is as tough a competitor as anyone. But he is more than that. He i...

A much better effort today, but we fell 5-3 to a talented Sacramento Royals team. Our lefty Jimmies (Tesoriero and Preller) kept us in the game from the mound. We were down 5 in the 7th when we broke through for our first runs of the tourney, making it a 5-3 contest. But thats where it stayed. Several guys h...
Well today we played a team that was undefeated in round robin play last year the Sacramento Royals. Jimmy Tesoriero was on the mound and was fantastic. He pitched 7 innings and with some unfortunate miscues he still held this Sacramento team to 5 runs. Jimmy Preller did the closing job and held them to...
Sunday was a somewhat dreary overcast day in Clearwater, but it was 80 degrees or so. So, yeah, not so bad. The Capitals started their tourney against a sponsored squad from Cleveland that had moved up to the 50s after playing several years in the 45+ American Division. They were pretty good. The Capit...
