I wanted to take this opportunity to wish all the gentlemen (and not so gentle) in the Capital District Men's Baseball League (I still hate putting in that senior) a very Happy Holiday season and to remind all of us to hold our kids a little tighter, give our wives an extra kiss on the way out the door and to...
