True Gotham Dragons Season Finale

Well the True Gotham Dragons seasons came to a close Saturday.  I just want to thank these young fellas for a fun season.  Itwas a genuine pleasure to watch my nephew and his teamates play their hearts out and experience the thrill of victory (one) and the agony of defeat (more than one).  These boys seemed to have a great time and really are developing a love for the sport of baseball.  Here's to next season boys and have a great summer!

True Gotham Dragons Update

Well the season winds down with the last game next weekend after a dismal defeat yesterday.  The Dragons were down 24-5 (this is indeed baseball folks) and scored 8 runs in the last inning for a more respectable 24-13 loss.  But I have been lax on the updates and must mention that 2 weeks ago, WE WON!!!  I think I remember the score being 12-5 or something close to that but I do remember that my nephew (the lefty here at bat) went 4-4 and I believe was the MVP of the game AGAIN. 

                   

Maybe we can squeak out another victory this weekend.  GO DRAGONS!

True Gotham Dragons Update

Well this weeks TG Dragons game was cancelled because the fields are too wet.  Probably not a bad thing since last week was brutal for the Dragons.  An 18-7 loss dropping them to 0-2.  The good news is that my nephew was MVP of the game going 3-4 with 2 singles and a double.   He also displayed an incredible defensive effort in which he snatched a screamining line drive from the air and caught a pop fly on the run. 

In the words of his dad, "no shit, he's really good!" Way to go dude!!

True Gotham Dragons Season Opener!

Today was the first pitch for the CYO Manhattan Youth Baseball League.  Unfortunately, I couldn't stay for the entire game but what a blast watching the TrueGotham.com Dragons smack the ball around!  My nephew, quite a ball player I must say, is on this team of 2nd graders who had a great time today playing baseball on Ward's Island.  Stay tuned for more as the season unfolds.  GO DRAGONS!!! 

UPDATE:  Dragons lost a hard fought game 8-5.
