The day started with news worse than a rain-out. The Watervliet field has been shut down by the governor until further notice. I was afraid that losing such a beautiful field would be the proverbial straw that breaks the 2020 season's back. But, thanks to the combined efforts of John Reel and Jim Bonap...

I started a go fund me campaign to see if I could raise enough money to start building a baseball field. I thought I already had the 3 acres need, but that fell through. So, I'm reaching out to everyone who might know of any cheap land available? Farm land would be the best because it's already cleared and t...
Is there a team going to Arizona this Fall? My daughter lives near Phoenix now. It would be awesome to visit and play ball too. Went to FL with the 53+ Caps last Fall and plan on doing it again.
