Picture perfect evening at A Diamond . Steve Rychcik making his first start ever for the Twins while the Dodgers went with veteran Jim Tesoriero. Both pitchers were gliding along with a 0-0 score entering the fifth and only three hits in the game. With one out in the top of the fifth, Jim Bradley gets to f...
You couldn't ask for a better pairing of hurlers anytime in the over-62 division than the contest on Tuesday evening (June 4) between the Arachnids, speedy, underhand whipping, late-ball-plunging righty Wayne Nicholson and the Americans' right-hander, Mike Kane, he of the very quick hummer and...

It was the 4th of June, the day after Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge, that the 55 Yankees and Twins met for an 8 PM start at A Diamond in beautiful Central Park, Schenectady. Another day where I am pressed for time so my report will be shorter than some. The Yankees were firing on...

Regrets: I'm a bit late getting this posted, but gotta get this down. Can't not record it. Big doings going on Monday night, May 13, at the A-Diamond during the over-62 Pirates-Americans game. The Pirates catcher was a woman. I believe that's a first for this division. I saw her just as the Pirates batt...
Jim Dalton recently received the good news about his induction in the NYS HOF . Jim is a long time member of our league. Most recently he manages the 55+ and 62+ Pirates but often toes the rubber to represent the other end of the pitch speed spectrum with aplomb , frustrating many a wide eyed batter aiming...
The Cubs used quality pitching, a balanced offensive attack, and excellent defense to get by the Americans Thursday night, at the A-Diamond. Jim Bonaparte got his first start on the mound for the Cubs and survived a first tough inning and pitched well for the following 3 innings and picked up the win....
In the words of someone way smarter than me , MONDAY WILL BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE DAY ON THE CALENDAR. Every hot dog , burger, drink, every spin around the lake ,is a debt purchased by others. This is not about who served , that day comes in the fall. This day is to HONOR those who paid in life and blood!whos mom...
The Cubs got their toughest test of the year, so far, but survived for a 7-3 win over Jim Edelman's Twins. The Cubs got off on the right foot, in the bottom of the first when leadoff man Carlos Espada worked a walk and immediately stole second. Paul Miles' groundout moved Carlos to third, with just one out...
