The Dodgers and Americans squared off on a beautiful night at a beautiful field to play some baseball. We played a close game but the baseball wasn't exactly beautiful. The Dodgers scored two runs in the top of the first thanks to a few miscues on the left side of the infield. There was an opportunity to s...
A 1-1 ballgame going into the 4th turned into a 5-1 Yankees lead thanks to 3 singles and a costly Twins error. The Yankees tacked on 1 more in the 6th due to 2 more Twins errors. Near flawless ball is required to have a shot at beating top tier teams. That and scoring more than 1 run of course. Wayne Nicholsen...
Tuesday night's game at Watervliet High School pitted the 5-0 Cubs vs the 2-2 Giants. The Giants were missing a large number of their regulars due to injuries and work commitments, so much so, that they needed to borrow Tim Burns and Jim Tesereiro from the idle Dodgers, in order to field 9 players. The C...

To play the game on pristine A Diamond last night, when, between the smoke from Canada and thunderstorms in the area, was a gift.

The only thing Jim missed was to record the comments of the seven...

Gene Hallenbeck had to make the call whether or not to send players to Watervliet High School to play the second regular season meeting between the Whiz Kids and the Cubs. He was hesitant to cancel, but the combo of the dirty air and an iffy weather forecast helped Gene make the right call. The game was ca...
