The Dodgers and Twins locked in a pitching/defensive dual for four innings until the Dodgers scored 6 runs in the 5th to secure a 10 - 2 victory. While the Dodgers only send one lefty to the plate, the Twins seem to have an endless parade of lefty hitters. Both batters' boxes needed plenty of raking after...

We are moving out of New York and downsizing. I am selling my Pitching machine that I paid $1000 brand new. If interested let me know. I will consider any reasonable offer. It is dual wheel and will throw up to 95 MPH with the yellow balls and around 85 MPH with a standard hardball. Please only serious inqu...
If your name was "Mike" on Friday, August 11, and you were at New Scotland field, in an Americans uniform, then the chances were good that the team manager, also named Mike, would give you hill time. Because that's what it was, the Mike-Mike battery, three times over in an important game for the America...
In the blink of an eye, the two-time 62s champion Yankees went from 12-0 to the No. 2 seed. The Arachnids' 6-5 victory over the Yankees last night at Watervliet HS -- the identical score of their triumph less than a week ago over the unbeaten champs -- literally secured the league title for a Spiders team...
Follow 9W South along the Hudson paralleling the Mighty Catskill Mountains until you arrive in Saugerties. I know some dont like driving that far to a game, but personally, I love the scenic beauty of the trip and Lorenz Field is an absolute gem. The entire complex there is unrivaled by most other town...
The over-62 Pirates showed up at Watervliet High for their Wednesday August 2nd contest against the Americans undermanned, with just ten guys, tired after two games played in two days (one a heart-breaking late-game loss), facing a third contest in three days, and, if that weren't enough, limping...
Thursday started the same way most of our game days have started this summer - with the threat of rain. Showers from 2:00 to 3:00. Thunderstorms at 4:00, 5:00 and 6:00. Rain from 7:00 until midnight. Text messages going back and forth in the morning. Should we play? I don't know. WTF? But,, with no rain b...
Last week when the Arachnids and Yankees squared off the stellar starter for the Yanks, Craig Miller, hit 3 Arachnid batters and was forced by rule to leave the tie ballgame with one out in the bottom of the 7th , runners at first and second. Wayne Nicholsen greets the reliever with a single driving home...
In the battle for third place in the over-62 division, Ralph Caputo wore eyeglasses. He spied an opening. And he hit into it. If that hit didn't make all the difference, it came close. Once again, geezer me is working here without the scorebook, so what you see here is essentially memory, also known as "...
I get called fairly often by GMs looking for subs. Partly because there aren't many old guys who want to sub as a catcher. Partly because I generally say yes when asked to sub. But mostly because the five or six guys who the GMs called before they called me said no. Maybe we should offer those first 5 or 6 pla...
