You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
If I'm available that day, I would love to see the game. I haven't been to the new stadium yet but hope to go at least once this summer.
ReplyDeleteNext time I luck into some tickets, I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteBernie, being a long-time Catz fan, I am happy to see you promote the team here on your blog. I did want to "correct" you in your last statement on this post though. Jamie Moyer was a player in the ACBL, but not for the Catz. The Catz were not in existence when Moyer was playing in the ACBL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget MLB Pitcher and Son in law of Digger Phelps Jaime Moyer.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the Minor League Team that played in Whitehall many moons ago?
I still have a foul ball from a Ambassadors game.
I tried to buy some of the Ams left over items but they returned my call when I was out. And never heard back on the follow up.
I also hate when I drive by the old site in Williams. Now another lame strip mall and overpriced townhouse deal.
Bernie,
ReplyDeleteWhat would it take to get you to throw out a 1st pitch before a game next summer? I appreciate your interest in our club.

Adrian, I'd love to do that. Wow! I was at a few of your games this summer and loved it. So did my grandson and brother.
ReplyDeleteBernie,
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear - consider it done. Not sure if you followed us down the stretch - but - fell short in the playoffs - losing to Kutztown in game 3 of a best-of-three series. But, great group of guys - finished with the best record in the regular season (26-12) - which included a 21-5 run after a 6-7 start - and - captured the Wolff Division title. I will be in touch - and - count on throwing out a pitch at one of our games next summer. Look forward to meeting you - your brother - and grandson. We can even get your grandson to serve as batboy for a game if interested. That's what this is all about - and - truly - our players understand that. Again, thanks for being a fan. Enjoy the offseason.
