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....

Snow Day bonus pic from 2003.....


Since we're riding a manager and coach wave here lately. That's Ross Grimsley, Navigators batting coach Willie Upshaw and Giants roving pitching coach Lee Smith along with catcher Chris Curry. Pic taken on 5/24/03; a 5-3 victory over the Thunder. They were still selling those Navs caps (fitted) this year in Cutter's Corner for the bargin price of $5 (I picked one up).
Snowing heavily in CT right now; happy to have had today off.

I saw Upshaw play in West Haven when I was a kid.

By the way, Willie was obtained by the Jays from the Yanks via the rule 5 draft.
