The Dodgers and Peppers squared off at the A Diamond as the second half of the 55+ season begins. The Dodgers had mercied the Peppers in their opening game. The Peppers showed up looking for redemption. From the 1st inning it looked like the red team would walk away with a victory. Dave Plew set the visit...
It profiles Jesse Braverman. Jesse is a long time player in the CDMSBL, a successful local high school coach, an author, and well, I don't want to give too much away. Written by Chris Abrams. Check it out! Jim Porter
At a time when baseball players are measured by launch angles, exit velos, spin rates and how long they will be on the DL, it was a pleasure to square up against the old school ball players on the 55++ Pirates. To a man they play to the best of their ability. They support each other. They cheer on their pitch...
The #1 seed Bombers will square off with the #3 seed Ducks for the CDMABL 2020 championship (best of 5 series) starting Wednesday, Aug 26th - 715pm @ Clifton Commons (every game after that is at Shuttleworth, see the schedule below).

The WhizKids and Angels squared off at the A diamond Thursday night, with Mike Kane on the hill for the Whiz, and Phil (Mash) Godamski pitching for the Angels. The Angels scored in the top of the first on one out singles by Jim McQuade and John Reel. McQuade stole third, and scored on a fielder's choice by...
Shuttleworth Park at night in Amsterdam was a very friendly place for the bats of both the Twins and Dodgers last night. Stefan Koutsakis led off the game for the Twins with a long double only to be picked off second before the next pitch was thrown by Dodgers starting pitcher Mark Dinicola. Rick Saiden...
Hi guys, Been a long time since I played in the CDMSBL. I played for 12 seasons with my last season being in 2012. After surgeries on both shoulders I eventually moved on to being involved with my son's travel teams and got my baseball in with throwing lots of batting practice to him and his teammates. I co...
Hey guys, My son's baseball league is having tryouts this Saturday if anyone knows of a kid looking for someplace to play. It's for a 13/14 travel team at Halfmoon Baseball League. Halfmoon has been a great league for my family for 2 of my sons over the past 10 years. They're competitive and cost half of w...
In another chapter of the wackiest of seasons, the swashbuckling Pirates notched their 1st "W" last evening in a well played game at New Scotland vs. Dave Plew's Peppers. After losing 5 starters to free agency, 2 COVID opt-outs, and 2 retirements, and 2 surgeries, the long-time depth of the roster to...
The CDMSBL Board of Directors held their first in person meeting since March at Swift Road Park on 8/15. All of the previous meetings were held via text so it felt good to meet in person again with protocols in place. The first order of business taken up was the reinstatement request by Jesse Carter who w...
The game between the Cubs and Angels last night was really a gathering of good friends and current and former teammates, built around a game. In a time where stress is everywhere, this was a stress free zone for 3-4 hours. While we all enjoyed the game, I think the after game cooler session was even more f...
The umpiring in this league stinks. The strike zone is non- exsistant. 12 inches off the plate is now a strike? The Twins last night were playing against 10 players in the field. It's was clearly evident from the start that the umpire had some kind of relationship with the Cubs pitcher. This umpire shou...
