Pickin’ Splinters »
From yesterday’s dugout discussion:
Professional baseball in Rochester dates back to 1877 “when a team sponsored by the Rochester Baseball Association joined the International Association.” (pg. 6 Silver Seasons – Mandelaro & Pitoniak). Other teams in the league included Syracuse, Toronto, Buffalo…the usual suspects.
The International League dates back to 1885. Rochester had a [...]
Geneva Stops Webster »
Jason Bowman (Westchester) tossed six and a third of perfect ball and Chris Vargo’s (Richmond) two-out triple in the bottom of the second scored Nick Spears (Texas/Pan Am) and Brett Burch (Oral Roberts) as the Geneva Red Wings held on to beat the Webster Yankees 4-3.
Chris Parkinson (Rhode Island) had two singles, a run scored, [...]
Jr. Rhinos Finish On A High Note »
If the old saying is true: “All’s well that ends well,” then Rene Tadal’s U17 Rochester Jr. Rhinos erased all the misery of their 2007 Upstate New York Premier League season. Buoyed by the momentum of their recent success North-of-the-Border the Rhinos finished the season with a victory – Eh!
Amanda ‘Put Some Espresso [...]
Have No Fear; Veenema Is Here »
The smile on Blair Veenema’s (Rochester) face said it all. The lefty struck out Mike Perkins (UNC-Charlotte) to retire the side in the seventh, and the Webster Yankees went on to defeat the Elmira Pioneers 8-4.
After a rocky start Veenema tamed the league’s top-hitting team.
Elmira entered the game with a team batting average of [...]
Carmody Quiets Hornell »
Kevin Carmody (Iona) scattered six hits over seven innings, and the Webster Yankees downed the Hornell Dodgers by a score of 3 to 1. The left-hander from Massapequa, New York struck out two and walked two to earn his first win of the season.
Adam Curynski (So. Illinois) worked the eighth and ninth to earn [...]
Jr. Rhinos Travel North-Of-The-Border »
With Kasey Welch and Kristin Blair controlling the middle of the field, and Amanda Coffey converting on the offensive end, the U17 Jr. Rhinos earned a hard-fought trip to the finals of The Toronto Cup. The tournament helped heal the wounds endured while playing in the rugged Upstate Premier League and brought a smile [...]
Webster Takes Two From Bolivar »
With the opportunity to win two games the Webster Yankees found production from some rare sources on Sunday night. Bolstered by the hot-hitting of Dan Bertolini (Mercyhurst) and a sparkling pitching performance by Josh Johnson (Toledo) the Yanks took two from the Bolivar A’s: 3 to 2 in the first and 6 to 3 [...]
Geneva Shuts Out Webster »
Needing to make up ground in the crowded NYCBL West Division the Webster Yankees opened the second half of the 2007 season against the Geneva Red Wings. Three pitchers held Webster to two hits and zero runs as the Wings topped the Yanks 4 to 0.
Paul Bertuccinni (LSU) earned the win as he struck [...]
McIntyre and Veenema Lead Webster »
Joe McIntyre (North Carolina A&T) led a fourteen-hit attack and Blair Veenema (U of R) pitched six strong as the Webster Yankees defeated the Bolivar A’s 7-3. The win comes on the heels of a heart-breaking, extra-inning loss at Hornell and halts a two-game slide for the Yanks.
Webster established early that it would challenge [...]
Frank Thomas = Hall of Famer »
I wrote this as a comment to earlier posting, but didn’t want it hiding in there due to the likely discussion it merits:
Note to Aaron and all Frank Thomas HoF doubters: Although he’s a full-time DH now and has been for several years, he was a full-time 1B pretty much for the 1st half of [...]
