Cats and Dogs Softball

Hi cats and dogs

To update everyone about the game last Sunday- Dale (or the “kid from Cleveland” as he likes to call himself) is a little bruised up but doing okay. For those of you not at the game: Dale, while catching, was involved in a scary collision at the plate. A very agressive player ran into him at full speed.  Dale sat out the rest of the game but was well enough to enjoy a cigar and a beer as usual.  He got himself checked out at the doctor and is ok. Dale is pushing for a ban of the offending player but the commisioners are still reviewing the matter.

In over 20 years of playing in this Sunday game (about 30 years for Terry) we haven’t seen injuries much more serious than some pulled muscles, some black and blue marks and of course several bruised egos, and we would like to keep it that way. 

As for this coming Sunday, it looks as if the fields will be open but it may rain. We will post something in a few days.

take care

I’m not sure if this went out. Sorry if it is a repeat.

Hey Cats and Dogs

For all of you in town this Labor day weekend, we will be out there on Sunday as the fields are only open for a few more weeks.  I will not get there until about 6:00 but Terry is back in town and will be there earlier. The sun sets by 7:30 so we want to get started as early as possible.

Hope to see you there.

Hi Everyone

Today is the last day of the permit this year (although we hope to get in 2 or 3 games in September before the fields close). The softball fields hotline (212-628-1036  then press 807 right away) has a message that the fields are closed but may be open later today. Looking at the weather now and the forecast I would think that they will be open.

 Hope to see you all out there.

Hi Cats and Dogs,

To the long time Cats and Dogs – Our old friend Walter Bryant passed away earlier in the week.  Walter was 84 and passed away on 7/21/09. If you cut and paste the link you will see a picture of Walter along with the viewing and funeral information sent by his family. If the link does not work below is the information.

Walter was a regular at the Cats and Dogs games in the 1990′s when he was about 70 years old.  He was surely the oldest one on the field, but he had the enthuiasm of a kid.  He obviously loved playing and it was a lot of fun to have him out there.  Several of his family members also played with us.  He hadn’t played with us in many years, but us old time Cats and Dogs have very fond memories of him.

Take care

Andrew and Terry
