albany academy takes some getting used to - it's has a grass infield with openings around the bases - but it's pretty and charming, especially with the green leafy maples behind home, shading the benches, the pines in the far outfield and the brick and stone school beyond that, with its bright white ge...
A typical Pirates/Hummingbirds contest (we tied 2-2 earlier in the season), with the Pirates coming away with a narrow victory. After five scoreless innings, the Pirates scored twice in the top of the sixth. The Hummingbirds (chiefly tropical New World birds of the family Trochilidae, but of cour...
Exciting final inning last night in Bethlehem. Orioles ahead 4-3 in the top of the seventh. The leadoff hitter walks and is sacrificed to second. The next batter hits a hard ground ball to short that hits the runner for the second out. Runner on first, two outs.The next hitter drills one into the gap in l...

Hello John Reel, I picked up your new baseball bats yesterday. They are beautiful! The asking price, however, will need to be negotiated! I'll see you in Albany on Friday evening of Labor Day weekend - the family will be staying at Howard Johnson's. Take care and good luck with the knee. -Lenny Fox
It what may be the last game at SUNY for this season (the NY Giants are in town and I guess they take priority) the Veterans were able to fend off the pesky Blue Thunder. Unfortunately for the Thunder, they will be without the services of their star shortstop John Hayden for the remainder of the season. Jo...
It was getting dark when we started the 7th inning last night at CBA. It was an accomplishment -- on all sides -- that we had gotten that far. The Rockets were delayed in fielding nine, so we didn't start on time. Then flashes of lighting in the distance (and near distance) kept us off the field for stretch...

Dick Stark had three of the Orioles seven hits to lead the way offensively for the Orioles. The Orioles are now 12-2 on the season.
Pretty terrific game, featuring strong pitching performances from ageless Jerry Solomon and Todd Calhoun. The game was called after seven innings. For the Yankees, Solomon was great. And Jimmy McQuade -- who is one of my favorite players, ever -- f'ing killed us all night. Two big hits, driving in b...

i was awakened friday morning with pains in the center of my chest. it was a twisting, weighty sens...
