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...

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...
