Hey Guys - I'm a counselor for a non-profit organization. We work with at-risk youth (ages 16-21) in a variety of ways to help them get to a better place in their lives. 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...

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...

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.
This will be brief as it's hard to type right now. Big DH for the Giants and Marlins: Giants trying to stay above .500 and the Marlins trying to remain undefeated. The Marlins got off first with an 8-1 win at New Scotland behind the complete-game effort of Phil "Mash'' Gadomski. Giants made it a spl...
The Shasky's game got rained out yesterday and I got stuck with the key to the Central Babe Ruth field/bathroom. If any member of the Nationals or Orioles can grab the key from me today, it would save me a trip to Albany later. I reside in Niskayuna off Rte 7 near Bellevue Hosp. Or I will be in Colonie, in the...
