Albany represented in Florida 45 division
(Preview)
Well I first want to congratulate the ALBANY BRAVES out west for a stellar tournament. That was definitely a 55 ALLSTAR TEAM hell they probably could have played in the 35 division with those studs on their roster. What a great representation of the talent that comes out of Albany. Albany has a team goi...

Good News and Bad News from the Valley of the Sun.
(Preview)
Bad news first: In warm-ups for today's game, Jim Wing was in the outfield shagging flies in case we needed him to sub in for any of our outfielders. A liner from the fungo hitter was headed directly at Jim, when he lost the ball in the sun. He never again retained sight of the ball and it ended up hitting him...

Braves have trouble with the heat, and the Burlington Angels in game two.
(Preview)
Having to play two 9 inning games, in one day, at the age of 55-65, is hard enough. Doing that on a day with not a cloud in the sky, and 95 degree heat, proved to be too much for the Braves. Most of the Burlington Angels, are from Southern California and have played many more games than us in this kind of heat, a...
