Yep, .500 and looking good! Quickie Game Recap goes something like this: Petey Stevens led the game off with a double but got doubled off second on a fly ball to left... He wound up 2 for 4 and Dom Libassi was 2 for 3 to lead the Padres hitting brigade... In the bottom of the first, the first 3 Highlander batt...
Tuesday night the Dodgers and Cubs engaged in a well-played tight game. Pitching and defense were dominant as usual, when these two teams meet. The Cubs got on the board in the top of the first. Mike Girard was hit by a pitch and Ron Lochner drove a pitch to deep center field driving Jim Shook right up agai...

Wet rain Wet Field but with alot of field work by the MAN at schenectady baby ruth ( he was a huge help) We were able to get our game in. Sun even came out!

This report was delayed by my not being able to get the book in front of me until this morning. Friday, May 3rd the Reds and Cubs got together on a beautiful Friday night at Schenectady Babe Ruth. Dave Mitchell opened the scoring for the Cubs in the top of the second with a mammoth HR that hit the trees behin...
Extreme short notice, and I apologize. But we are rolling the Satellite grass this Thursday while the ground is wet and softened from the expected rain on Wednesday and Thursday. We are renting a 1 ton vibratory roller in hopes of flattening out the lumpy conditions. We need some people to help out fro...
Ok, so where are the rules of the Bulletin Board content to be displayed written anyways? I mean if you can't talk about the field conditions (unless you can't see the obvious and agree with the propaganda you've been fed regarding how stellar the field was going to be this year and you feed the thought p...
I just learned tonight of the health issues that two of my favorite CDMSBL players have confronted recently. Scott and Andy, if you are following this blog please know that you are in my thoughts as you continue your path to recovery. You are both fierce competitors on the field and I have no doubt that y...
John Reel and I spent more than 9 hours on the Satellite field Saturday. We turned the infield, watered it to saturation; dragged it, watered it more and then rolled it by hand with a 250-pound roller donated by Mike LaBarge. We are going to rent a vibrating roller at some point to flatten out the entire i...

On an absolutely gorgeous second Sunday of the 45 CDMSBL baseball year at beautiful New Scotland Park, the recap to the Yankees-Black Sox game goes something like this: Bottom of the first inning and following a lead-off, two-strike single by Mark Lennox, then a walk to the 2 hitter, Dave Booker rope...
First of all, my apologies to the Marlins for an honest bookkeeping gaffe in the fifth inning when we celebrated prematurely thinking we had a 12 run lead and the game was over - more than slightly embarrassed. Again, my apologies. Bobby Bolt threw four terrific innings before pulling his groin muscl...
