Thoughts and pictures of my local minor league baseball team the New York Penn League Connecticut Tigers; a Detriot farm team. We'll still be looking at former Navigators/Defenders players along the way....

Travis Ishikawa called up by the


S.F. Giants. Giants infielder Lance Niekro had a death in family and the Defender first baseman was called up the the bigs to take Niekro's place. I'm sure Travis wishes it was under better circumstances. Travis was batting .323 with 1 HR and 5 RBI at the time of his callup. This is a great example of how close some Double A players are to getting the call up and is why folks should come out and see these guys play.
Misc fan notes: Connecticut swept the Thunder in a three game set but lost the opener in Reading tonight in extra innings. Defenders tied for first with the B-Mets in the division.
