Thanks to everyone from the CDMSBL that participated in the "Old Timer's Night" at the Amsterdam Mohawks game. A good time was had by all even though the game was mostly played before a late arriving crowd. Another night of good exposure for our Division's and Lex Herrlett even got to throw out the firs...
The Yankees and Cubs got together on beautiful Thursday night at New Scotland, for a battle between the 6-2 Damn Yankees and the 5-3 Cubs. The Cubs were treated to a visit from longtime friend and CDMSBL all-time best shortstop Randy Craft. Randy is now 68 years old and fighting for his life with a serio...
After putting up football scores in our first meeting, the Dodgers and Giants had their bats and track shoes primed for game two. And with consecutive singles by Trinchillo, Lane, Alston and Bradley to plate two runs in the top of the 1st and Kegan and Maguire hitting base knocks to start the Giants' ha...
We are still looking for more players to play a 2 or 3 inning exhibition game at Shuttleworth Park on Monday July 11 at 5 pm. So far we have 8 or 9 commitments and could use more. This is great exposure for our leagues and could lead to more people wanting to become members of a team. If you are doing nothing th...
On another beautiful night for baseball at New Scotland the Americans and Twins produced a real nail biter of a game. The Twins held a 3-2 advantage going into the bottom of the 4th when the Americans scored 2 to go ahead 4-3. One more in the 6th gave the home team a cautiously comfortable 5-3 lead enterin...
The Amsterdam Mohawks will again be hosting an Old Timers Night on Monday July 11. We are looking for players to play a 3 inning game in front of the Mohawks home crowd before they compete in their PCGBL League game. This was a fun event last year and the Mohawks provided food and a beverage to all that part...
On the last evening of June, and a beautiful one at that, the full strength and formidable Yankees showed why they are the first place team in the 62s. The short handed Arachnids, playing with 2 borrowed players and 4 starters missing, were determined to create some positives in this game. Thank you to...
Yes that is seven "Thank You's." The first Thank You is to Jim McQuade for agreeing to drive down to Coeymans to be our 9th (borrowed player). Thank you #2 is to Dave Schillinger, who came to the game, even though he was experiencing a serious headache and nausea, because he didn't want us to forfeit (due...
Again at B Diamond last night the home team Twins struck first scoring two runs in the bottom of the first inning on a double by Jeff Whitehead, Rick Saidenberg getting hit by a pitch , and a clutch single by Wayne Nicholsen off Americans starter Dan Durback. The Americans hit back with a run in the third a...
Monday 6/27 (Schenectady) - After a postponement in their first meeting, the Americans hosted the Pirates at the A-Diamond in Central Park on Monday evening. Manager Mike LaBarge has put together a solid group, who all seem to contribute. The Pirates were playing a little short-handed, (down 6 sta...
Thursday, 23 June (Schenectady NY) - After the threat of rain all day, and gates locked on our arrival, skies cleared and we entered the pearly gates that is the B-Diamond! A little confusion ensued as a full bearded Bill Farrell was mistaken for St. Peter......meanwhile at the "B"- Ball Orchard of Ce...
Ya know - you start out a season with 15 confirmed guys, then two guys go MIA, a guy gets hurt, guys have other commitments and before you know it every game is a scramble to field 9 players. That old story. The 55 Giants are looking for 100 players ........but we'll settle for 2 or 3. Immediate start date, w...
Hey, if your 45 Division team is short-handed this Sunday, please feel free to contact me. I'll play any position you need (except pitcher or catcher), and I promise not to embarrass you. - Mike Clary clarybird@hotmail.com
