The Giants beat the 55 Twins last night 11-0 (2 earned) at New Scotland field. Although the Twins were missing 4 key players and are a little banged up at the moment, this post is not an excuse piece.

The good news is Scott Card is making a remarkable recovery. The bad news is he had a stroke. He is rehabilitating in Sunnyview Rehab Center in Schenectady. If his prognosis is in any way predicated on his character, Scott will make a full recovery. He has been one of the best and most enjoyable players i...

I post tonight because the scheduled ump failed to show. In his stead, Herb Carter's son, Jesse, filled in, calling balls & strikes from behind the mound and he deserves a hearty shout out. Yes, Jesse is Herb's son and Herb was on the opposing team. Jesse is a certified umpire, so I had no reservatio...
