Gladstone to Read Excerpts at Talking Leaves BooksPosted on August 3, 2010 by Doug Gladstone
With a foreword written by the Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist, Dave Marash, A Bitter Cup of Coffee tells the true story of a group of former big-league ballplayers denied pensions as a result of the failure of both the league and the union to retroactively amend the vesting requirement change that granted instant pension eligibility to ballplayers in 1980. Prior to that year, ballplayers had to have four years service credit to earn an annuity and medical benefits. Since 1980, however, all you have needed is one day of service credit for health insurance and 43 days of service credit for a pension. Here’s, in part, what the Midwest Book Review had to say about the book in its official review, which was published nine weeks ago: Gladstone to Read Excerpts at Talking Leaves Books – continue reading… Jamestown Jets to Hold Evaluation Camp in AmherstPosted on August 3, 2010 by David Olesky

Western Tops Empire State Games Medal CountPosted on July 26, 2010 by Patrick Moran
The 32nd edition of the games closed in Buffalo on Sunday and for the 29th time Western led in the medal count. The 104 gold medals were by far the most of the six regions competing throughout the state. In fact, the final tally more than doubled any other region. Arguably the most satisfying, and certainly the biggest headlines drawn from the games were the men’s open basketball team capturing gold after defeating Hudson Valley Sunday at Canisius College. Kyle Downey, a junior at Sienna College, led the way with 21 points.

Even without big brother Kevin nursing an ankle injury, Kyle Downey and Co. had little problem disposing an overmatched Central squad. “My teammates were getting me some open shots and it felt good getting into a rhythm,” Kyle Downey said. Things started shaky though, as Western fell behind 6-0 early, but quickly went on a 16-4 to seize the lead for good.

Despite a confident start that saw Western up for virtually the entire first half, the team was plagued by turnovers and poor shot selection, and unlike their first game, their size was not there to save them. “I was really disappointed with our rebounding,” head coach Larry Jones said. “It was tough to get the ball inside, we had some poor shot selection, but we simply didn’t rebound well enough.” WNY Falls In Scholastic Hoops, Faces Must-Win Saturday – continue reading… Empire State Games Thursday Round-UpPosted on July 22, 2010 by Patrick Moran
