Both teams were great sports in this one at Burnt Hills last night. The Cubs and Padres traveled out to Burnt Hills high school to find an infield like concrete, a dangerously un-anchored second base, and no umpires. Both teams considered throwing in the towel and trying again later, hopefully in a be...
I have in my possession a blue, face-masked Schutt batting helmet and a white Hanes x-large tee shirt, which was left hanging over the back of the player's bench on the third base side. You can reach me at : dbballwixon@aol.com dbwixon

I understand it's a huge undertaking for him and his MSBL staff to organize and get a feel for how many teams he will have in each division. It's really not too early for him to begin the process. I told him I do not ha...
