We are an expansion team in the over 47 bracket. We are looking for catchers gear, batting helmets, or anything else that no one is using. This will help us keep expenses down. If anyone can help us out, contact Jim @ 233-7439, or Bucco21a@yahoo.com. Thanks very much.
We're also looking for player...
Thank you to the teams that sent in their $ 500 deposits. This is important so that the League has a sense of which teams are playing and we can schedule accordingly.

This time with a twist.
Snow Ball II will be a fund-raiser to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Rensselaer County, of which I am a board member.
Our goal is to hold some activities tied in with the game to rai...
As I've suggested in the past and offered to assist if needed, we should be looking to update our website. There are numerous pages that should be updated or eliminated. Our webpage is the most visible communication vechicle for our league and should be kept current. My first suggestion for an update...
