The Americans were almost perfect making just 1 error. Rich Garbarino, the Americans starter, threw 5 2/3 innings , surrendering 6 hit...

Starting pitchers Mike Kane of the Whiz and Mark Denicola of the Dodgers matched zeroes for the first three innings. The Whiz broke the ice with 2 runs in the bottom of the 4th on an error, singles by Greg Mangione and Fr...
Most of you are old enough to remember submarining reliever Dan Quisenberry in this 1986 commercial for Sports Illustrated. Sadly, Quisenberry succumbed to a brain tumor at age 45 in 1998. He says, "I can't trust what I got in the bullpen...Here goes nothing...." It makes the hair on my arms s...

Nice night at the A-Diamond in Schenectady, and a Darnell Baker sighting had the standing room only crowd excited for a match up between the Whiz Kids and Cubs. These games are always hotly contested, and this game was no exception. Scott Ross got the ball rolling for the Cubs with a lead-off single, in...
At New Scotland the temperature registered 98 degrees at game time and both teams were sweating pretty good before the first pitch was thrown. The Twins came up first and scored 3 runs as John Newman knocked in Lee Madsen with a double and Rick Saidenberg homered to right off Angels hard throwing start...
With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the eighth, Jim McQuade scorched a high two-strike Greg Witalec fastball down the left field line to deliver a 4-3 walk-off win for the Cubbies over the Yankees in 45s action on Sunday evening at Clifton Commons Park. Bob Poulin went the distance for th...
The Twins picked up a hard earned 5-2 victory over The Whiz in Bethlehem last night. The Twins scored all the runs they would need in the top of the first inning as Stefan Koutsakis led off with a single followed by Lee Madsen and John Newman who reached on uncharacteristic ball handling errors by starti...

So how about one of you talented and eager 45+ or 55+ catchers lending us a hand? You will be greeted with open arms and applauded for your efforts by the entire tea...
