We don't need college sports right now
I'm going to state this right off the bat for this article, this is a little more of a rant than my usual articles and also a lot more serious. As a former athlete, I feel a need to talk about this topic of college sports postponing (not canceling) their fall sports seasons until the spring.

Health and Safety tips for cricket players
A hardball being bowled at high speeds with a batsman returning the favor with greater velocity is always going to present an element of danger. There is a good reason why a wicket-keeper looks more like they're about to defend the goalmouth in an ice hockey match.

Baseball Boys Recreates 1950’s Little Baseball in Mt. Vernon
Little League Baseball was born in 1939. By 1950, it made its way from Pennsylvania to Bruce Fabricant’s hometown of Mt. Vernon . In 1953, he got the call, and on a cold April morning, the Heritage Hills resident tried out. The times didn’t allot for a participation trophy, however. But finally getting the chance to play on a real field with adults - who could teach the game - easily made up for lack of metallic luster and the frostbite. In actuality, what he did get was much more important and is never far from what he is trying to document in Baseball Boys – a self-published novel on 1950’s Little League baseball in Mt. Vernon.

Yankee Fan's Book on Mickey Mantle Brings a Personal Connection to Adoring Fans
The most recent book of note on Mickey Mantle was The Last Boy by Jane Leavy, and it doesn’t pull punches about getting into the more salacious aspects of the slugger’s life. However, a real intimacy goes as far as the author’s access. “She spent one night with him,” says Italian American Author Tom Molito of Pound Ridge, NY. But the release of his new book doesn’t put “the Mick” at a distance for all those that adored him.

Somers Youth Coaching Tidbits from the 1970s
Mr. Brown Growing up, I played all the standards. Basketball, football, baseball and on occasion, I even played hockey on the pond behind my house. That said, I was delusional like everyone else. I would not only play for the Yankees but the Knicks and Giants too. Thus, I started playing organized basketball at the intermediate school and my young coach loved my scrappy defense and ability to drive to the basket. So I figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to work on my dribbling skills. I would go down to my basement and pound the cement with the rock. I got pretty good, and there’s a decent chance my work got the attention of the man in charge. Always on hand overseeing the league and practices, Mr. Brown stressed the fundamentals, and for my purposes, suggested that the ABA was not the place to emulate the skill I was working. “They dribble up here," he instructed. "You've got to get lower to the ground.”

1985-1989 : My Athletes of the Year
Photo by Kanesue 1985 Don Mattingly Photo by Corn Farmer We heard about Steve Balboni and were pretty excited. His round gut and bald pate didn’t bother us either. The future looked bright and then the name Don Mattingly came down. The name itself sounded like that of a superstar, and sliding into right field in 1983, he kind of looked the part. His .283 batting average didn’t come without all the Balboni strikeouts either, and 1984 failed to have many of us put up a fight over the Yankees choice at first. Any pushback dissipated as Donny Baseball made the short porch and the expansive gaps his home, while the outside corner had Donny showing he could slap singles with the best of ‘em. The 1984 batting title was just the beginning, though. 38 homers and 135 RBIs took precedence over his 338 batting average, and every time he came to the plate, you had to stop what you were doing. An MVP season still had the Yankees come up short, and it became an annual thing. Dying every year with Mattingly was just too much, but at least he had a brief shinning moment in 1995 before Griffey stole what was rightfully ours.
