The Lumberjack Has His Day
With more than 1,500 fans in attendance, the Westfield Wheelmen paid tribute to the Lumberjack. It was a great night and we hit our aggressive goal and I cannot give enough praise and thanks to all involved, from the Wheelmen and their families to the sponsors, vendors and friends of the Lumberjack. Huzzah!

Matches Hurls Rare No Hitter
On July 12th at Hartford's Colt Park, Matt "Matches" Avery hurled a rare no-hitter. No-hitters in baseball are of course rare but even more so in vintage play due to lack of fielders gloves. The no-no was capped-off in the ninth with hit stopping, mind-boggling plays by Dan "Short Order" Cook at third and Nick "Slick" Avery in centerfield. As much as it was a thrill for Matches, it was a thrill for me to catch it. Huzzah!
