With the rain surrounding the Watervliet High School diamond late yesterday afternoon, the Cubs and Twins managers got together with Dennis Lane and John Reel and decided to give it a try to get in this game that had already been rained out 3 times. The only issue was that there was an ominous green blip...
The Twins and Yankees squared off on a warm humid Tuesday Night at Central Parks B-Diamond Dust Bowl (worst field in the Tri-City area, pitchers mound was a mess, and the field was hard and dry). On the hill for the home team Yankees was Darrell Duncan, and for the Twins, Steve Rychick. In the top of the 1s...

Once word got out on the streets of Cooperstown last week that the CDMSBL was in town for a game, the media flocked to Doubleday Field for the exclusive story. We ended up working with a crew from Minnesota that was in town for Joe Mauer's Hall of Fame induction. Here is the link to their story. https://dr...

(Wednesday 7/24, New Scotland,NY) - As is usually the case, save for this season, a Pirates-Peppers match-up is akin to a heavyweight fight with punches traded until one boxer is left standing. It has been such a history going back to their 55-Division days, before graduation to the 62-Senior Circu...
Played last night at Watervliet where the sky was outrageously beautiful with plenty of late day sun and exquisite post thunderstorm clouds. The field was in phenomenal condition thanks to Dennis Lane who does the best job preparing the field for baseball. This game had a little of everything. Fine...

Twice this season, the first-place, over-62 Yankees, beat the third and/or fourth-place Americans in the last inning. We're talking game's end folks! When things were nearly done. That's twice, as in two straight times. Both times los Americanos were ahead with a half inning to go. And then Yankee...
Wayne Nicholson and Bob Bolt squared off on the mound last night as the home team Peppers took on the visiting Arachnids. The spiders struck first in the top of the 1st scoring a run with a double by TJ Scorsone and an RBI single by Lee Madsen off the always challenging Bolt. Nicholsen dispensed the Peppe...
We have seen a number of games cancelled this season due to a high heat index. A game between the 55+ Dodgers and Yankees was cancelled in June for this reason. The decision to cancel a game can be difficult for the GMs. Some team members want to play regardless of the weather forecast. Some guys have heal...
