Joe and Pat hate it when PBP guys talk to players during the game!!! More tales from the game of flaws. A golfer going to compete in the British open served time in prison.

In a fitting tribute, Dundas names baseball stadium for Bill Nelson, team’s biggest booster

On a lazy summer weekend when overcome with an urge to see a grassroots ballgame, the cure often has been to take a drive an hour south to Dundas. The Cannon Valley League offers some of the state’s top competition, and if it’s the Dukes vs. Miesville’s Mudhens, you have an unmatched rivalry.

I was there one Sunday when there was a playoff game, with both teams guaranteed to advance to the state tourney. Immediately after the game, the managers went into a small area to draft pitchers from other Cannon Valley teams.

Joe Driscoll had been drafted by Dundas the previous year. He walked around with a beer in hand, waited a couple of minutes and then found out he would be a Mudhen for this tournament.

Driscoll tipped the beer upward in a salute and said, “Well, every team needs a role model.”

Joe died three years ago, and the world has been a less enjoyable place since then.

Minnesota Twins swept by Astros, lose in 10 innings after Jhoan Duran gives up ninth-inning run again

Jhoan Duran, who gave up only one run during his award-winning previous month, has put runners on base in five consecutive appearances in June, and it has cost him and the Twins. Less than 24 hours after entering a tied game and giving up the walk-off game-winner, Duran blew a save for the second time this season, and the Astros completed a weekend sweep of the Twins with a 2-1 victory in 10 innings.
