We had a game scheduled at Voorheesville High field but the game was forfeit, the field was un-playable anyway, second and third base areas were muddy, the rest of the dirt portion of the infield is very bumpy and the grass portion of the infield is covered with goose droppings, there is a game schedule...
Fellow baseball players. I don't often post anything on this board, but after reading Mr. Girard's comments, I feel compelled to say something. I have been in this league for about 12 years. This is my first year with the Cougars. For the most part, I'm having a good time. I play all the time, and yes I end...
The Reds had first licks in this one, and they plated 3 runs, in the bottom of the 1st. All three runs were unearned as the Cubs committed 3 errors. With the sloppy top of the first behind them, the Cubs did not sit and pout about it. They got their hitting shoes on and pounded out 5 hits and induced two walks a...
The Whiz Kids called upon a few of their veteran warhorses to beat the Damn Yankees on Wednesday evening at New Scotland in a big 55s matchup. Darrell Duncan turned in a dominating performance on the mound and Billy Smith provided the big bat with a pair of hits and 3 RBI as the Kids defeated the Yankees 4-...

We're trying to find some old baseball gloves and softball equiment in hopes of organizing some friendly softball games for the kids be...
My dear friend, Whiz Kids manager Jim "Schoolmarm" Porter, maintains that this post will bring me the player I seek for today's Gray Cougars-Hawks game at Satellite at 6:00pm. I remain skeptical. Nontheless, if you are age-eligible for 55+ and would like to play today, please phone me: 7...

Our opponent needs a few players also. Let's get this game played. You must be on a roster in any Division, and be 54 ye...
The WhizKids had 8 of their 18 hits in a 6-run 3rd inning to break open a close game and went on to defeat the Cougars 12-4. Peter Persico, Jeff Teats, Jesse Braverman, Mike Lannon, and Ed Klopfer all had RBI hits in the decisive frame. Braverman (3 IP) and Lannon (4 IP) combined for the victory. The Cougar...
I'm hoping that someone picked up my bat after the 7/22 game between the WhizKids and the Cougars at New Scotland. Please give me a call at 526-8216. Thanks, Jim Porter-WhizKids.

Jim Ansel may have made baseball history on Sunday by being the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter AFTER being selected to the Hall of Fame. Ansel, inducted by the CDMSBL in 2008, was in vintage form as he spun a 7-inning no-hit shutout at the Dodgers as the Blue Thunder continued its winning ways in the 4...
Found a Black Wilson glove at Satalite Field this Sunday. It was hanging on the fence on the First Base side of the field. Looks like an infielder's glove. You can reach me at 542-0395. Artie G.
