New Year, New Team

It's a Friday night in January and we've put together a new team to head back to San Juan over February vacation. Last year it was mostly GAB guys, with a little Berlin and East Windsor influence. There was a team from the Hamden area down with us last year. The Hamden team was coached by Rick DeMatties and Angel Ramos. Angel and Rick will be helping us this year too.

This year we've combined forces, GAB and Hamden. We're bringing down some GAB players from last year in Dallas Mickey, Larry Pagano, and Will Ramos, and the Hamden group is also bringing down some returning players in Stefan, Barrett, Adam, Anthony and Carlito among others. This group will be joined by GAB newcomers Buddha Blake and Ron Emanuelson.

All in all it looks like we have the making for strong team. The players come from the Legion fields and AAU programs like TCB, All Pro Rebels, and the CT Capitals. We'll play great defense and back our efforts up at the plate.

We've worked out all of the travel arrangements and we're starting to practice. We had our first practice last Sunday at Baseball City in Hartford. The boys are looking sharp. We're booked again this Sunday for another practice. Time to get the arms loose and the sticks swinging! San Juan is only around the corner. Look out, here we come!
