Hi guys, as this is my 5th year in the CDMSBL , I'd like to finally introduce myself as this is my first blog on our league website. I'm Mike Surin, some of you know me as the utility player on the Blue Jays. With the recent retirement of Arty G, I would like to take the ball and form this years 45 team for the Cle...
The original plan for starting the fall ball season was to play Saturday (preferably morning) games at the Satellite field. Two things got in the way. First, although the response to an extended season was favorable, many respondents told me that Saturdays in August were going to be tough. Secondly...
Hats off to Commissioner Jim Bonaparte for securing Shuttleworth Park. It's a bit of a hike for a lot of folks with it being in Amsterdam; but with the new field turf down, the spacious foul territory and the over-sized dugouts, Shuttleworth should be a more frequently used venue. Plus, the lights act...
Beautiful sunny night at C diamond last night and the Indians struck late to defeat the colt 45 8-1 behind a complete game 5 hitter with 8 K from Jami Burnetter who was back on his game last night either from turning 35 or going on Vacation. On offense Fernando Robleno stayed hot going 2-3 with a triple and...

Though they never trailed, the Bombers couldn't shake the pesky Blue Jays in a good game at Satellite on Aug 2. Bombers won 7-4. After the Jays stranded a runner in the top of the first, Lex led off the bottom with a ground rule double, later scoring on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Johnson. The Jays stranded ano...
Mark your calendars for SATURDAY AUG. 22 at the B and C diamonds in Schenectady! Friends in the know have been asking me about this movie project Ive been working on. I tried not to say much about it publicly until I was secure in believing this is going to be a reality. I have been fortunate to be a teammate...
The New York Giants hosted the Yankees on Saturday and the Marlins on Sunday, emerging victorious on both occasions. Joe Burns, Ron Smaka and Mark Dabney led the Giants on Saturday against the Yankess..........I believe the score was 13-1. Joe pitched well (again) giving up a few hits over five inni...

Matt Kelly has been giving every precious moment of every day tending to the needs of his very si...
