The Reds and Highlanders started their season on Sunday at the Kinderhook Town Park. The weather was beautiful for baseball.
The Reds bats were a little slow out of the gate trailing 5-1 through 4. True too form the bats started to heat up scoring 6 runs in the final 4 innings. A good team effort by all,...
In a rare Saturday night game, the Giants opened their inaugural season with a 6-2 win over the Orioles at New Scotland.
Jerry Solomon pitched 5 solid innings, giving up both runs on 4 of the 7 hits he allowed in the second inning.
Bill Smith knocked in the first-ever Giants run, plating Dan Maguire...
Call it a hangover from our March trip to San Antonio (seven Pirates went), but we came out wearing our hitting shoes. Big night for Richie Knaupp in particular, who went 3-3 with two BOMBS that would have cleared the fence (if a fence had only been there). Newcomers John Comensky, Jimmy McQuade, and...
The new Mets, came out looking good with some new talent against a powerful Yankee team. The Mets have a great team but the Yankees pitching was great. The Mets had a great start from Jerry F. but for the Mets it was the same old story, a few errors but very poor coaching, the coach went on the mo...
Dave Madden pitched three strong innings and got solid relief from Al Wolfert and Marc Tryon to help the Hornets win their opener.
Defensive gems by SS Ron Smacka and 3B Al Wolfer drew some gasps from the crowd and both benches.
Several Hornets had key hits, but it was DaBums who made a statement.

I just wanted to thank all the individuals who put together yesterday's Opening Day ceremony (47's). The moment of silence at shortstop to remember our friend, Jim Jordan, was especially touching.
What a PERFECT day for baseball. I can't recall ever having such good weather for Opening Day.

I spoke with the person responsible for scheduling at Harris Field. They are closing the field June 25. The ball field is the site for Halfmoon's new town hall.
They are cramming the entire babe ruth schedule into the small timeframe they have for Harris field. Therefore, we will not be using Harr...
Finally, the first game of the season!
In a very close game, the A's defeated the Blue Jays 3-1 at Bethlehem. The game was marked by some very spectacular plays and tense moments. Both pitchers, Gianakos for the A's and Coffredo for the Blue Jays, went about their tasks very well.
The A's score...
I am in the process of trying to secure a contact for the 28+ Cardinals in order to maintain the 28+ league statistics. I have an Excel spreadsheet created for the Cards and I need someone to send it to. I would also like it if that person can be my contact for securing the stats for each game.
Could you p...
I just wanted to take a second and wish everyone in the CDMSBL age divisions and great upcoming season. Sometimes we take this game for granted and that's a sin. I don't know about the rest of you, but I still get the "butterflies" the night before Opening Day, not to mention, not a lot of sleep.
Hope a...
For many of you who know Dave Booker you may want to give your condolenses
for the loss of his father this past week. Dave has left for California to attend the funeral services and he will be back this weekend. A nicer guy than Dave I have yet to meet. My sympathies to him and his family.

Trying to get hold of John Kalinski. And, of course, I lost his number. John - can you post how I can get hold of you? I need to order some stuff (if you still do that). Let me know.
