First things first (which is what they always are because if they weren't first then they would not be the first thing and I would have a problem). Anyway, in my last post (5/11 A's vs. Peppers), Jim Dalton responded to a question with a story about a "Potato" trick. I'd like to say that I was all set to try i...
What a night for a game, cool and cloudy with a steady breeze at a soggy Bethlehem ballpark. Field conditions were marginal to say the least. It was good to finally play after a 16 day layoff. The Reds scattered 10 hits and scoring 3 runs in the 7th while the Hummingbirds spread out 6 hits through 7. Both pi...
one of the greatest lines in sports was offered by muhammad ali. he and george foreman were having their pre-fight news conference in kinshasha, zaire before the big "rumble in the jungle" for the heavyweight title some 30-plus years ago. foreman, the reigning champ, a young guy full of himself, wen...
I was informed this afternoon there's going to be a work day (morning) this Saturday starting at 8:30am at the Knick. The infield is going to be regraded and red clay is being laid on the infield surface.
This should greatly improve the drainage of the infield. We (CDMSBL) lost one game this week be...
If you take a look at all three division schedules, you will see there's been 21 rainouts in the past 10 days.
This is extraordinary. We had almost 50% of our anticipated rainouts for an entire season occur in just 10 days.
Our managers have been diligently working to reschedule these games.

Can anyone help me with directions to Bethlehem field. It has been a while and I can't quite remember how to get there. (old age). I will be coming down on the Thruway. Thanks.
Da Bums in the 47's find themselves in the unfortunate position of having to make up a rainout on Sunday, May 28th. Our catching staff will be involved in previously scheduled "stuff". If there is a catcher who would like to get is some extra playing time. we could certainly use you. I can be reached at ei...
I'd thought a little exercise for the brain can't hurt.
Is it possible/legitmate to get four outs in one inning?
Please respond to this post with a "proof-of-concept" if you can think of a situation.
4 new pairs of baseball pants.
Gray, size large (waist 32-34).
Full length.
Sacrifice $16 a pair.
They are cut small and many of my players needed to go to XL from large. So, if you are a medium fit, the pants should fit well.
I didn't want to mail them back till I found out if someone in our leag...
Im a long time player that has stayed away from league play over the past couple of years. I still coach and play on the side but am looking to play (at least) a part time role on a team in the league that may still be looking for players. In the past Ive played several positions (mostly center field) but can p...
I just want to say that I am glad to be back in the league after a two year hiatus for my daughters travel softball and I can't wait to see some old friends.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? I'M LOOKING FOR A PLACE THAT USED TO BE CALLED THE CAPITAL DISTRICT. I'M SURE IT WAS HERE A WEEK OR TWO AGO BUT ALL I CAN FIND NOW IS THIS HERE STRING OF BIG PONDS. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, IF APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS WHAT DO MAY SHOWERS BRING???NOVEMBER BASEBALL THAT'S WHAT...
I just want to take a minute and thank Rob Currier from the Albany Nationals for his hard work in maintaining and improving the 28+ Division Website. All the 28+ over teams owe Rob a debt of gratitude. I've been thinking about doing something like this for a few years and everyone said that it wouldn't wo...
