This Saturday, 4 members of the CDMSBL have joined up with the SoCal Fire to play in the 65+ Cactus division in Arizona. those players are : Dave Plew, Jim Ansel, Wayne Newcombe , and myself .
I know numerous other individuals and teams are traveling this fall . be interested to know whose on these teams and where and when. Please list your rosters or the team you joined .
Be good if we all get updates from your schedule and status reports.
Good luck to you guys in Arizona and good luck to all our guys going out there, and to all our guys heading down to Florida. As you know we'll be sending a team down to the Fall Classic in the 55 division. Our first game is on November 4th and our roster is as follows:
Jim McQuade Mike Girard Jimmy Konstantakis Dave Mitchell Ron Lochner Ron Massaroni Tim Brown Ralph Caputo Scott Ross Darrell Duncan Bob Bolt Jack Griffin Dan Maguire Jerry Rosen Mike LaBarge Dean Little Randy Craft PJ Martone
We've been having consistent workouts to get ready and are indebted to Don Ball And Dennis Lane for the use of the field at Watervliet HS!
We can't wait to get down there and will do our best to represent the CDMSBL. I'm sure Mike Girard will keep you all posted on our progress
I second that motion from Jim McQuade on kudos going out to Don and Denny. Don has gone beyond the call of duty to give us old guys the opportunity to keep the joints well-oiled for November tournaments with his workouts, and Denny manicures the best field in the Capital District with his gem of a diamond at Watervliet.
Yeah!!!!! The Albany Capitals 50+ are making another showing in the 2018 Fall Classic in West Palm Beach at the new Houston Astros facility. We start November 11th-17th.
Our squad has:
(myself) Mike Surin
Don Ball
John Cortese
John Weber
Pat Alston
Tim Burns
Dennis Newell
Curt Tucker
Jimmy Tesoriero
Jim Bonaparte
Mark Marshall
Tony Parella
Mike White and Mark Sullivan (both from the Colorado MSBL)
Vinny Zarrella (from the Hudson Valley MSBL)
and yes...thanks to Don Ball and Dennis Lane, our team has been staying in shape....and after watching my daughter play softball this weekend in 37 degree temps..... Florida weather will be a welcome change.
