CDMSBL:
I have drafted three attempts to thank you all for your concern about my health this year. I have gotten overwhelmed each time, feeling scared and inept. I have stayed quiet. It has been too threatening to be explicit about being that close to death. It took a heart attack, but you now know I...
Joe DeMarco of the 28+ Tigers played in the Fall Classic in Florida with the Syracuse Wizards in the 28+ Central Division. The Wizards won the tournament going 4-1 in the round robin part. In the playoffs, they won all four games.
Joe stated that it was a complete team effort and recommends that eve...
I want to take this time to thank the players who came down with me to Florida to play and represent the CDMSBL 47+ division. They made us proud. We ended up with a 3 and 3 record and made the playoffs. In spite of a very grueling schedule with an extra game that gave us 2 back to back double headers prior to the...
The Detroit Diamondbacks scored the winning run in the bottom of the tenth with two outs on a ground ball through the hole between third and short. This was a heartbreaking loss for the Braves because it wasted a tremendous effort on the hill by Phil "Mash" Gadomski. Mash held the Detroit club to just 1r...
After our game against the NJ White Sox, I predicted that if we didn't win it, they would.
Well the NJ White Sox won in the quarter finals 14-2, in the semi finals 10-1, and in the championship game 5-4 (vs. Montgomery County Yankees).
This performance really flatters the Braves game against New Je...
Going into the final day of the round robin, the Braves had an outside chance to make the playoffs. we needed three things to happen:
1) Win
2) Limit the runs against for the Colonels.
3) Either a. Louisville Orioles lose to the Decatur Braves, or b. the Chesapeake Bay Sox lose both ends of their do...
Finally a game to put in the win column.
With the playoffs still a real possibility, the Braves took their best shot in the second game of a doubleheader. what the Braves had to do was win the last two and limit their opponents runs as the big tie breaker is Runs Against. Ralph Caputo took the hill with th...
Tough road to 0-3.
This is probably the eventual champ. What a game the entire Braves team played!!! Let's start with TJ Scorsone. He held this team (that averaged 14 runs in their first 3 games) to just 2 runs through 8 innings. Great job!!
Part of his success was in getting the Sox to hit the ball on t...
Check-out todays Times Union Front Page thats no other then Rensselaer's own SgtMaj Dan Seney (Lawnmower Dan) who played with the Peppers 38+ squad before his deployment, and just returned from Iraq Last Night after a 18 month tour of duty. Job well done, this also goes out to all the other guys still o...
The South Carolina Cubs came up with just a couple more timely hits than the Braves in a disappointing opening game loss. Ted Poleto threw 3 shutout innings in a stellar middle relief stint. The Cubs opened a 6-1 lead off of Braves starter Ted Martin. Ted Poleto came in and shut down the Cubs and allowed t...
The Albany Braves have been dilligently working out to be ready to make the CDMSBL proud when they travel to Clearwater Florida next week for the 2005 Fall Classic. The cast of characters on this team is very similar to the team that made it to the semi-finals in the 2003 Fall Classic. In 2003 the team ran...
