Last night at New Scotland, Kevin Moon returned from a long absence from competitive baseball. He called me this winter looking for a spot to ease back into the game he had been away from since receiving a Heart Transplant! Not a knee replacement! Not a hip replacement! An actual heart replacement! Th...
At A Diamond the Twins finally got their first game of the season out of the way after the previous 2 were washed out. Twins drew first blood in the top of the 1st when Rick Saidenberg hit a triple and scored on a Tom King single. It stayed 1-0 until the bottom of the 5th when the Giants tied it at 1 all as Vanett...
The Cubs and Angels got together at New Scotland for what is always a very friendly game, you could even say a FAMILY AFFAIR. Of the 22 players at the field last night, 19 had previously, at one time or another, played for the Cubs franchise (30+, 45+, and/or 55+). The game was friendly, but competitive t...
Pitching, defense and timely hitting led the WhizKids over the Yankees Tuesday night at the A diamond. Mike Kane allowed only 3 hits and no walks in the 7-inning shutout. The defense was solid, especially considering it was the first game of the year, following a rainout and a bye week. The offense sho...
Does anyone know where to get good baseballs in large quantities for a decent price?? My son's old little league is looking to buy a bunch. Just thought someone here might know something I don't. Thanks, Doug
The 55+ Dodgers got some solid defense and pitching and rode three hits apiece from Harvey Staulters, Greg Gougler and Jimmy T to beat the rain, the dark and the Americans. Props to the Swift Road park staff for having the field in great shape. Good to be playing baseball again. Don Ball Dodgers
It is with great sadness to report the passing of a dear friend. Doug Zmyewski passed on Sunday April 11th. A longtime CDMSBL member, Doug will be remembered by all for his kindness, and sportsmanship. I believe Doug was the first member of our HOF. A big lefty hitter, Doug hit 2 home runs in our White Sox...
For those of you that do not know this yet: Alex Marin was hit by a truck on the Northway yesterday, as he was working for DOT. Although his injuries are not life threatening, his injuries to his leg are serious enough (steel rod inserted to reconstruct his lower leg) that he is still in the hospital, and w...

Well, we got 3 1/2 innings in and then the rain put an end to it. Game tied 0-0 with the Twins coming to the plate in the bottom of the 4th. Both teams with 2 hits and 2 strikeouts with Greg Briscoe hitting an opposite field triple for the Twins. Well have to start from scratch sometime in the not too distant fu...
Kathy Nicholsen, Wayne Nicholsens wife, passed away yesterday in Florida. She had undergone major surgery last week in an attempt to improve her quality of life after suffering from a particularly harsh form of asthma for many years. Wayne had been her primary caregiver over the past few years. The...
