Finally we have a great response to a great tournament. So far we have Tony Parella(mets), Jim Bonaparte(mets), Rick Caruso and his brother-in-law(fordians?), a pitcher from Philly, Rich Knaap and Mike Labonowski(pirates), possibly Ed Obertubbessing(peppers), me and.......................
Its that time again to begin thinking about baseball in January. The Disney event is from 1/18 to 1/21. We have 4 players so far. Looking for a 35+ team. Just let me know if there is an interest and depending on what we have I'll put a nice package together with some very special and fun options. 369-9409. t...
The link below contains some photos from Florida. Not very many action shots because the battery died in the camera.
There are some shots of:
The Rays complex
Brighthouse Network Stadium (Spring Training home of the Phillies)
Jack Russell Stadium (old home of the Phillies - most of it has been d...
Well the Albany Yankees did not make the Playoffs and ended the Florida 52+ at 2-4 with a crossover game. The team was in every game and with a key hit here and there we could have
made the playoffs. The pitching did very well and kept us in the games. I want to thank Larry Pape, Tim Brown( who had a great tour...
Another great experience with a bunch of talented players and great guys. While the Marlins could have won another ring in the 45 division, I'm sure the team will be back stronger than ever and at the cusp of winning another ring next year. I was honored to have pitched for them.
The 52+ division, howe...
The Marlins tournament run came to an end in the first round of the playoffs. We finished the round robin as the second seed which set us up for a rematch of last year's semifinal game vs. the Carolina Rockies.
Ralph Caputo was on the hill and did a fantastic job, keeping the tired Marlin defense in the g...
The 45+ Marlins continued to play solid baseball trouncing the Triad 9 15-3. The Brighthouse Network stadium scoreboard was filled with crooked numbers. The Marlins only failed to score once in their eight at-bats

TJ Scoresone was the star of the day, only allowing three ru...
Marlins jumped out to an early 8-0 lead in game one. In the top of the 5th, New Jersey caught and passed the Marlins scoring 11 runs. The Marlin bats went cold and the game was stopped after seven innings due to time limit. The final was 18-9.
In game two, John Latorre took the mound and steadied the Marli...
I'm sure some of you would like to wish me and my beloved Red Sox the best of luck in the '07 World Series, but the pressure of posting anything on your web site about the Red Sox could be quite damaging. I understand. Peer pressure. For the record, I'm sorry to see Joe leave, but that offer was completely ri...
Due to a couple of late cancellations, the Albany Marlins are a couple of players short for the team going to Florida for the Fall Classic. Here is what we need: a catcher, an outfielder, and a pitcher or two. Pitchers or catchers who can play other positions are especially sought after.
The tournamen...
I went to use the glove at practice for Florida and it wasn't in my bag.
The last time I used it was in the 28+ All-Star game at the Joe.
Anyone find one and pick it up???

What a day it was out at the Joe on Saturday!!!
80 degrees and beautiful sunshine until the sixth inning of the 28+ game.
We got to use the nicest baseball facility in the area and play three games on what turned out to be a perfect weather day for October 6!!!
A special thanks to Quentin Jensen, Kevin Ja...
To All Players ( 28's38's/48's),
Just wanted to send out a message, letting you know, that Seve VanGelder, lost his brother today, after a long illness.
Steve is one of the better guys around, and I'm sure, he could use everyones support, in this time of loss for Steve, and his entire family.
GOD B...
Gentlemen,
I was originally slated to work the 38 all star game. I was looking forward to the prospect of working at "The Joe," until something else came up. My ol' gang from Cooperstown called to ask me to work the Hall of Fame Fantasy Camp games on Saturday. So I was calling balls and strik...
