The New York Giants took on The Bombers (also from New York) for the second consecutive year for the 45's Championship (yes, guys in the 33's. .........there is baseball after 40). 49° at game time.........but playing baseball in the cold is better than watching baseball in the cold, I guess!. Anywa...
StevieLou wanted something short and sweet, which he provided. Others wanted more detail. Part of the reason is that Giants Manager Steve Lounello refuses credit. He pins a player after each game - win or lose. He actually has thumb-nail sized pins that say "New York'' on each of them. Players v...

It is a sad day for the Kelly family in Pine Plains, NY, and I am sure I speak for all of Matt's baseball brothers in the CDMSBL when I say we have lost a true angel of a person with the recent passing of Matt's wife Sharon. She lost a heroic battle with brain cancer, but had Matt and his two daughters, Christin...
A big congrats to the 45+ Giants team for their league championship victory. It hurts to lose in the finals to these guys every year, but at the same time you have to admire their talent and leadership. Steve Lou dominated on the mound in game 1 with a 1 hitter striking out 9 or 10 (I lost count). Folks - our l...
We are looking for 3 or 4 more players for Wednesday evening basketball in Albany. Several CDMSBLer's currently play. It's a good run, and a good group of guys. If interested, drop me an email at :petezamory@yahoo.com Thanks
Well the temperatures dropped and it rained like hell but that doesn't mean we can't play baseball this Saturday! Fall Ball flows into October and we have some open spots for this Saturday. We have 14 guys signed up to play, many of them staying sharp for the fall tournament season. Batting practice fr...
most everyone who will read this will know that yogi berra died tuesday, september 22, at age 90, in new jersey. he died in an assisted living facility in caldwell, not far from his home in montclair. that's a loss for everyone who loves baseball, and for those of us older players and fans who actually sa...
Despite a deep field of 14 teams and a formidable challenge by the Cubs, the New York Giants and Bombers will meet next weekend in a rematch of last year's 45 Division Final. The defending champion Giants got there by winning the Regular Season at 14-2, dispatching the Golden Marlins in 2 games, and thi...
Gentlemen: I've got a team in the Amsterdam Fall Ball league, and because of injuries and some no-shows, we are in need of a few players - any age. The games are played at Shuttleworth Park in Amsterdam on the astroturf field. The next game is this Monday @ 8:30 pm, under the lights. Please contact me if yo...
Two short pitchers faced. Giants pulled away in fifth. Jim Konstantakis! (Giants 8, Blue Jays 3) Twelve innings they played. Darnell, Reuter, and Ryno! Cubs and Dunn get win. (Cubs 6, Bombers 5, 12 innings) With day getting long, Chris Dunn hits double digits. Bombers pull away. (Bombers 10, Cubs 2,...
Well the Shaskys got eliminated after two dark games at the Bob. The Marlins woke a sleeping - or at least a well-rested - Giants team. The Braves and Brewers joined the crowd of players thinking about next season........But the forecast for next weekend calls for sunshine and temps in the mid 70s. Let...
The bad news is that the Shaskys lost in the elimination game last night by the score of 9 - 8. The good news is that we can now play our Saturday fall ball games at Watervliet High School. The bad news is that we don't have enough players for a game. At this point we have 11 players. I would like to have 20 guys s...
