My brothers of CD-MSBL - As most of you might be aware, I was gifted with an incredible honor of being selected to the 2024 Class of Inductees into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame. Never in a million years would I think that I was worthy of such an honor. I am humbled to say the least, particularly wh...
On Wednesday night, when the Whiz Kids beat the Yankees 8-3, they overtook the Cubs for first place the standings. That spot at the top of the standings did not last long. Thursday night the Cubs sent lefty, Chris Dunn, to the mound and he was in control all night long. Dunn allowed just one run on 6 hits an...

Congratulations to the Yankees for taking back the 62 league championship from the 2023 Champion Arachnids with a 9-2 victory last night at A Diamond. The Yankees have won the league championship for 3 of the first 4 years since the 62 Division was started. I will leave it to Yankees GM Ted Poleto to giv...
Mostly the basics in this report. The Yankees jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings. The Arachnids cut that lead to 4-2 in the top of the third. However, the Yankees padded their lead to 7-2 after three full. The Spiders hurt themselves in those first three innings committing three errors and allow...

A little love for that ?other game?played Thursday night at the A.. The Yankees held off Mike LaBarge?s Americans, 4-0. Americans kept looking for their bats, but somehow left them on the rack. Best catch of the year, Lounello in center crossing and diving. One steal rule should be eliminated. Despi...
This game played at Watervliet last night was very tough for both teams. The Cardinals, who earned the two seed had Bill Chichester on the mound, while the Arachnids went with Darrell Duncan. Stephen Koutsakis hit the first pitch of the game for a single and scored the games first run with two outs on a s...
The field at the Commons, in Clifton Park, was "iffy" to start. The infield grass was uncut, and there were 4 areas of the dirt that were still moist, but were good enough to give it a go. Just as we were about to start an 5 minute light shower added to the difficult conditions. If it was a 10 minute rain, we wo...
It was a sunny, cool, and windy evening at New Scotland last night as the defending champion Arachnids faced the sixth seed Pirates in the first game of the 62 playoffs. After all the rain we have been getting lately, the field was in surprisingly fine condition with the majority of the water being arou...
Yes, it's true that the final score in the first-round over-62 playoff game between the Americans and the Peppers had one winner and one loser: the fourth-place Americans edged a very scrappy, fifth-place Peppers club, 11-10. But this was the kind of game that, if there were lights, we would have bee...
