This year, MSBL decided not to schedule any preliminary round double headers in age divisions 50+ and higher. So our game today against the Puerto Rico Royals was our fifth in five days. The undefeated PR boys proved too much for us, but we still squeaked into the Fall Classic 50+ playoffs, where doubl...

The roster has changed and evolved many times over the years, though a core group has shared many of these trips. I think I can say that it is an important annual excursion where...
