Beat Jersey Shore Baseball 11 - 1 and beat the Washington Allstars today in Jet Blue stadium 12 - 8.... So far in 2 games Ferraro is...
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...
Having to play two 9 inning games, in one day, at the age of 55-65, is hard enough. Doing that on a day with not a cloud in the sky, and 95 degree heat, proved to be too much for the Braves. Most of the Burlington Angels, are from Southern California and have played many more games than us in this kind of heat, a...
Tonight the Albany Braves will be getting together for the final time at New Scotland for our last tune up before we head west to Phoenix. Jim McQuade and John Reel have put together a very good team to represent Albany, in the MSBL World Series (55+ division), and to honor our friend, Tom Maney. Tom, as m...
The CDMSBL broke out the big bats and dominated in the pitching and defense categories to take the series against the BABL in an 11-0 win on Saturday. The Massachusetts boys got the first two hitters on with back-to-back singles off CDMSBL starter Jerry Solomon; but Solomon induced a popup to the catc...
As you can see in the post below, this is just a kids game we are all still blessed to be playing and can be put in perspective easily enough to even the most untrained of eyes when something as poignant as happened in Darnell's life yesterday... If life hasn't already dealt him enough tragic blows, and wh...
