Just to fill in the gap between 55+ team that was very successful in Arizona and Lex's 45+ entry in the Fall Classic, Mike Surin is leading a strong team into the 50+ competition in Clearwater beginning November 5th. Joining Mike from the 45 Blue Jays are John Weber, Chris Abrams, Mike Kocienski, Tim Bo...
In 90 degree heat , and some sore legs we stumbled a little today, things started off wrong even at the umpires meeting , our schedule said we were home theirs said they were home so he unps just said they were home which only gives us one home game . So we lead off The first with a single and a stolen base , and t...
Our second game started off on track placing 4 runs in the first inning. Delaware brought some bats too and took a 11-4 lead early in the second . Some hits , some errors , we all know that story. BUT the Yankees rallied together and ended up winning 21-14!!!!!! Guys all contributed and too many hits to com...
Can't wait till next year. Thanks Johnny Reel and Jimmy Mac for your great work on the field and off. Some love to some Cdmsbl standouts: Timmy Brown, Wayne Newcomb, and Tommy (recently inducted HOF) Maney, playing with SoCal-Teddy Poleto's team, Good Luck guys!

The Albany Braves showed the entire MSBL 55+ what kind of baseball is played in the CDMSBL! I am always proud to be a member of this league, wherever I go, but never have I been more proud than I was, in Arizona last week, for the 55+ World Series! This group of 17 men were a tight knit, well prepared group, th...
The Albany Ny Yankees arrived at the blue jays minor league complex and walking in you felt like a ball player. Squaring off against one of the top teams in the division the Atlanta Giants , Ny took a 1-0 lead into the 6 inning, which is where the Atlanta team scored their first run unearned. lex Herrlett w...
Well I first want to congratulate the ALBANY BRAVES out west for a stellar tournament. That was definitely a 55 ALLSTAR TEAM hell they probably could have played in the 35 division with those studs on their roster. What a great representation of the talent that comes out of Albany. Albany has a team goi...
Sorry about the delay, but this is a very difficult story to tell. I feel responsible to finish the story, so here goes: The Albany Braves and the Las Vegas 55's squared off in the World Series final at 9:00 am Pacific Coast time, at the spring training stadium for the Oakland A's (Hohokam Stadium). Both...
The Braves are in the Championship game!!! This team just never quits! In both games today, the Braves had an early lead, only to fall behind in the middle innings, then rally to win the games in the late innings. Game 1: The Braves take a 3-1 lead into the 3rd inning, only to have the Canadian Playboys ral...
Today we played the 4-1 San Diego Pirates at Maryvale Stadium (Milwaukee Brewers). The winners were going to be the number one seed, and the loser could possibly be eliminated from the playoffs. The Braves went with Wayne Newcomb on the mound, and he struggled with his command, from the very first pit...
Alright, just good news to report today. In game one, Jim Konstantakis started for the Braves and was absolutely in control for the entire 9 innings, allowing only one 4th inning run, and yielding just 7 hits, 2 walks, and 1 hit batter, while striking out 4. While Jimmy was keeping the Arizona Pirates d...
Bad news first: In warm-ups for today's game, Jim Wing was in the outfield shagging flies in case we needed him to sub in for any of our outfielders. A liner from the fungo hitter was headed directly at Jim, when he lost the ball in the sun. He never again retained sight of the ball and it ended up hitting him...
The pre-game festivities were the main attraction to today's day of baseball. Tom Maney was honored by the MSBL National organization as a Hall of Famer. It was quite an emotional moment , with Tom's current teammates and friends. The Albany Braves used that emotion in their game one match up with the...
