I wasn't going to post anything, but after some thought, I realized being silent would be doing a disservice to this group of class-act gentlemen. First, the Giants finished in first place and then defeated the Twins, Marlins and Whiz Kids in the playoffs to win their third straight title. In the past...
The 33+ Division voting is final and I have been asked to post the results. The voting system went as follows: each manager was asked to cast a 1st place, a 2nd place and a 3rd place vote for candidates in each category. A point system of 3 points per first place vote, 2 points per second place vote and 1 poin...
A couple of players from the Berkshire Baseball League in MA asked about getting a game together on Labor Day weekend. I was thinking that perhaps we may be able to get a three game set? Any interest? If I can get a 15 player roster together by next weekend (Aug 28th) I would do the leg work to get a field over...
The Giants got great pitching and defense on Sunday, and were able to eek out just enough offense to beat the division leading Cubs 3-2. Joey Burns started and gave up just 2 first inning runs (one earned), as he scattered just 4 hits over his 5 innings of work, for the win. Jim Hicks came on in the 6th, and p...
There's that great quote from Rogers Hornsby: "People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." I'm really glad to have played this year, after some time away. The baseball part was great, but the people were better. Really ni...

My company has two large projects underway that have created these immediate openings: We have been hired by two local physicians to perform large volume photocopying and data entry services. These functions are being provided at our Albany office at 45 Learned Street (Near Wolff's Biergarten)....
Want to see a good show tonight (Friday, 8/19)? The championship of the 55 division is on the line, at 5:45 p.m., at the B diamond in Schenectady. The two-time champion Giants (who had a 12-2-1 mark this season) will be facing one of the two teams, the Whiz Kids (12-3), to have beaten them this year. The Gi...
I have been hired as the JV baseball coach at LaSalle Institute in Troy. There is a small stipend being offered for an assistant coach. Good news is that this could be a great stepping stone for career-minded coaches and you'd be starting at a talented and competitive level of the Colonial Council. Bad...
I would like to apologize to Matt Kelly and to his entire Damn Yankees' teammates for my idiotic decision attempting to throw out Matt at 1st base from center field. Knowing Matt had a leg injury which prevented him from running at full speed I made the unethical/poor baseball decision to make the thro...
Guys, Please explain to me how if personalities were not a factor, a guy who took 3 losing teams along with their egos and personalities and some incredible personal challenges does not get real consideration for manager of the year?? Look as hard as it is for me to take personalities out of it, unless y...
