The 50+ Albany Capitals ended their Fall Classic run on Friday morning with a loss to the Naperville Yankees. It began as a tight battle. Yanks took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 4th inning. Capitals countered, taking a 2-1 lead in the 5th. The bottom half of the frame brought a perfect storm: Capitals s...
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 Albany Capitals (and previously the Albany Blue Jays) have been travelling to the MSBL Fall Classic for quite a while now. 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...
November 8, 2016 was a good day to be red. Red states trumped blue ones, and in Florida the NJ Reds pounded 20 hits en route to a 17-6 thumping of the Albany Capitals (and the Colorado Blues also lost to the Puerto Rico Royals). The silver lining was that the Capitals hung 6 runs on the Reds, who had only give...
Good guys win! Back on the horse this morning at 9:00am at Jack Russell stadium in Clearwater, and the Capitals came out strong, plating 5 in the top of the first. We never trailed in the time-limited 8-inning game...though it got "interesting" a couple times. Most notably in the 8th, which we entered...
The robust national fall tournament schedule continues, after the incredible run in Arizona by the Albany Stud 55s (aka Braves) and solid runs in Fort Myers by the 45+ Maine Indians (featuring 5 CDMSBLers) and in Clearwater by the 45+ Albany Yankees (not to mention the other squads that various CDMS...
We ended up making the playoffs and faced off against a good Atlanta twins team. They took an early lead and although we put up a string of zeros on our offense side for 5 innings we had a chance to tie the game 9th we lost 13-9 but with the help of some errors and some timely hitting the twins ended up victorio...

Playing the Canton Tigers we were tied 3-3 going into the 9th inning they scored 3 in the top of the inning and we came back and scored 4 in th...
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!
