It was a great team and the players responded to his guidance and won a couple championships. The obit mentions one such...

I would like to take this time to wish everyone in the CDMSBL a very safe, healthy and Happy Holiday season. Think spring, may we all have a great 2024.
As I was looking through the Albany Cubs' scorebook from this past week's Roy Hobbs tournament, I realized that the stats painted a vivid picture of this team's success, but left out a very important part. Yes, this team was dominant in every game they played except one, and that game was meaningless;...

The Cubs romped over the Chicago Bay Warriors 13 - 0, to advance to the championship game of the Roy Hobbs World Series. The Cubs rode the left arm of Bob Bolt and a sizzling hot batting order to punch their ticket to the Championship game of the 60+ Roy Hobbs World Series. Mr. Bolt was a wizard on the hill, s...
The quarter-final match-up in game two on Friday was a rematch with the Baltimore Orioles, who handed the Cubs their only loss this week, in the Round Robin finale.

When we win that game, we will play a quarter final game at 5:30 pm in the Stadium at the same complex against...
The game was set at the Twins Stadium at their spring training complex in Fort Myers. It was a seesaw affair for 7 innings, before the "inning from hell" cost the Cubs dearly. The Orioles scored first in the top of the second, on a double and two singles. The Cubs would get even, in the bottom of the 3rd inni...

After bringing home championships in 2020 and 2021 (2022 cancelled), 2023 was not the year for the Albany Caps. Our team could not put the pitching, hitting and defense together within the same game. We played AAAA, AAA teams during the week along with the AA champion and we showed promise but could no...
