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....

Pitching coach Bob Stanley....
the "Steamer." He'll have a new crop of arms next season lead by Madison Bumgarner and Tim Alderson.
Bacci...You're right about Paul Newman... "SlapShot" is one of my all time favorite movies. The "Hustler," and the unrated "Fort Apache." are other personal favs. I actually saw him once in Boston many years ago. As a NASCAR fan, I'm well aware of his driving background. I read they closed Lime Rock for an afternoon in August so he could a few last laps. The Petty's Victory Junction camps were inspired by Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang camps. I was too taken aback by his passing to do anything here right off the bat.
