Your Wilton Redding Retro’s journeyed to Fussenrich Park in Torrington today to face the Torrington Dragons in our quarterfinal playoff match. After the game I was struck by the similarities between Torrington born abolitionist John Brown and his hometown Dragons-let’s see what they have in common besides geography and why history seems to rhyme.
Outlook on Life:
The Torrington Dragons are playing men’s adult baseball and thus have to be glass half full kind of guys.
John Brown fathered 20 children so not only was he a glass half full kind of guy, his bed must have been pretty full and his house, with 20 kids really had to be full.
Ambition to achieve great accomplishments:
The Torrington Dragons made the playoffs with 10 wins during the season and come in armed with their top players in an effort to win the league championship . Numerous fans and family are behind their efforts . “Let’s win on the field” they chanted when the playoff pairings were announced
John Brown attempts to start a liberation movement among slaves in 1859. Frustrated with the advocates of peaceful resistance and pacifism he is reported to have said “ These men are all talk –what we need is action”
The Beginning or “We are off to a good start!”
Tied at 1 in the fourth, the Dragons squeeze out a run to take a 2-1 lead
John Brown seized the armory at Harper’s Ferry where seven people were killed, and ten or more were injured. He intended to arm slaves with weapons from the arsenal.
The Middle-or “ Uh oh !”
Trailing by 1 in the 5th the Wilton /Redding Retro’ tie the game and then break it open with a bases loaded single on a 3-2 pitch taking 3 run lead.
John Brown’s attack failed. Within 36 hours, Brown's men had fled or been killed or captured by local farmers, militiamen, and U.S. Marines led by Robert E. Lee.
The End – “Yikes”
The Retro’s tack on another run in the 7th to take commanding 4 run lead 6-2 . The Dragons last hope is the bottom of the 7th but they go out 1-2-3 to end the game and get eliminated from the single elimination tourney.
John Brown is executed by hanging in Charles Town, Virginia (now West Virginia) thus being eliminated from the tournament of life, which is also a single elimination format.
Streaks
The Wilton/ Redding Retro’s move on to the semi- final round of the playoffs next Saturday with confidence facing the next challenge with is not likely to feature any Civil War personalities. The Retros have been on a great streak of late winning 7 of their last eight .
The Union Army went on a streak as well beating the South, and winning in WW1, WW2 and Korea before losing on the road at Vietnam . Of course, war is also played in a single elimination format so lessons can l be learned all around

Stepping down as manager after this season
Gents:
I have decided that this will be my last season running the Wilton Red Sox. I have had a terrific time playing with you all and enjoyed the experience immensely. But after basically being on the DL all year and with the prospect of that status not changing I have concluded it is time for someone else to take the reins and help the Red Sox move forward. Perhaps having an artificial hip, a shoulder that feels like there is a sword in it and and eyes that need glasses to read anything are signs the universe is trying to tell me something. If I were to be able play next year it would be in the 38 plus division but my shoulder would have to magically be healed. The orthopedic doc i saw guy told me the MRI I had indicates have a "slap tear" of my labrum-not the best circumstance for a pitcher. But I will try to do some weight work this winter and see how it is next year but in the 38 plus level.
I have had the pleasure of getting to know each of you and regard each of you as a friend of mine . I very much enjoyed playing with you and watched you have some fantastic performances as we have experienced the joy of baseball. Many of you sacrificed a lot to play for the Red Sox and I appreciate the effort and energy you put into playing for our team. Advice is often given “to live in the moment” and “live life to the fullest” and your putting energy and heart into an endeavor as you did as Red Sox players is testimony to that and for sharing that I thank you. We had some terrific games together and I will miss the games immensely.
Going forward I hope someone among you takes the reins and keeps the team going. Perhaps you can discuss among yourselves on Sunday.
Whomever it may be you can expect some surprises as you go along but I will write up a list of items that need to be handled to run the team.
There are many ways to run one of these teams and players may have their likes and dislikes about how i ran it but my goal was to make it a good experience for everyone
Now is the time for another guy to put his stamp on the team and of course I wish him the best of luck.

Next Game 8/1 .. Make up with NC.. Playoffs
Sunday
We host the Bridgeport Brewers at home Sunday ( 8/1) in doubleheader ( 2- 7 inning games). This should be a good chance to win a couple games on our home field and I hope we can have two good games.
We know Ned, Bob Ryan and Matt ( DL) will be out. Please let us know if you will not be coming on Sunday
New Canaan Make up Game
The New Canaan game which was rained out last Friday night might be a game that impacts the standings and seedlings of the top four teams. Hence they may want to play that game. So far the idea is that the game would be played next weekend sat Aug 7th or Sunday Aug 8th. However they want to schedule to play the 7th in the event rain cancels and the chance to play Sunday the 8th is still there . As I have mentioned previously I am going to be in Newfoundland early in the week and will not be around nor have access to email , internet etc through the 16th of August. I may however be able to see a moose which won't help organize this game but will be interesting nonetheless. Jim will chat with you Sunday and then handle the arrangements going forward in the event that game is required.
Playoffs
The weekend after that, Aug 14th and 15th is the 1st round of playoff tournament action in which we are in the Presidents Cup bracket. The tourney is scheduled to start sat Aug 14th I don't know who we would be scheduled to play nor where but I do know the format is 2 of 3 with the first game coming on sat aug 14th and then Sunday ( 8/15) 2 games if the first 2 are split. In the president cup there are 4 teams and of course the two winners advance to the final round which is the subsequent Sat aug 21st and Sunday Aug 22nd 2 games if needed in 2 of 3.
We know that August is a difficult month in terms of schedules but the league voted to conduct the playoffs prior to labor day and the format is what has evolved. I can tell you there is endless discussion about his at league meetings and each year it seems to result in different format and dates. In reality neither August nor September is optimal for a bunch of reasons and the format is an effort to try to solve problems but exists in a minefield of other issues like field availability player availability etc
Jim will handle the playoffs and I hope we advance to the final round . I return in time for the final round which I hope we will be playing.
Our Teammate
You have all seen Roneil's family at the games and watched the kids play. His daughter Isabella has undergone major surgery , chemotherapy, radiation and all sorts of other procedures to help fight her battle with brain cancer. Her doctors believe she may have a recurrent tumor in an area of her brain that is considered inoperable. Let us all share our prayers for her and her family.

Next Game July 18th home vs Cannons
Gents:
Sunday's win was very reassuring after we let it slip away. They had momentum and several chances to win but we hung in there and finally started to hit.
before the recap let me update the schedule for you:
Next Sunday July 18th at 9 am we host the Cannons at the JV field. We will finish the suspended night game ( we are now in top of the 8th leading 8-7) and then play regular 9 inning game
going forward we play them again friday night july 23rd
then sunday the 25th we play the cardinals
we have established our date to play the Mariners (our make up of the second game of the doubleheader where we were missing a lot of guys) on wed night July 28th in Wilton
then we have final regular season games with a doubleheader at home vs Bridgeport brewers , with whom we opened the season.
The way it looks is we can make the top bracket of the playoffs ( top 4 teams) if we keep winning. our schedule is more difficult than the Dodgers or Phillies but i think we are up to the challenge.
Please let us know if you are unable to be there next Sunday.
Game recap:
Tim gets us started by booming an RBI double right center but Trumbull quickly counters and we are tied at 1 goig tot he 4th. We get runners in scoring position but they wriggle out of it as we loft a lazy fly ball to cf
but he has it and drops it and we take 3-1 lead. Flossin' Johnny Pflokin is pitching well for the Titans and takes them thru 7 innings stranding runners in virtually every inning and only allowing the one earned run.
Jim meanwhile is zipping thru with 1-2-3 innings one after another. and we get to the bottom of the ninth.
A bunt single a broken bat single and a walk load the bases and Trumbull is alive. We get two outs then they drive single to right down the first baseline scoring two and tieing the game. Jim battles to get a ground ball to short where Jose fields it cleanly and throws to Roneil and we head to extra innings disappointed not to have closed it out but also relieved it did not get worse.
In extra innings we get men aboard but fail to drive int he go ahead run and we get tot he bottom of the 12th where they load the bases with one out. Time gets a popup he catches himself setting up the bases loaded two outs situation.As Tim goes in the windup their runner breaks for home Charlie sees as does Tim who throws to Charlie who steps in front of the plate blocking the plate in a manner that the Pittsburgh steelers could not get thru and tags the runner out. The runner has still not reached home was not going to get through Charlie.
Charlie of course leads off the 13th and quickly runs the count to 3-2. He gets a fastball and drills it over the shortstops' heads to get us started. Raff and his hammies follow and he eschews the bunt and drops a single to left giving us two on with no outs. Xavier comes to the plate ( with a new haircut defying the Samson edict of strength in his hair) and recalls his winter of hitting where he bunted 2- 4 times a night and gets the sign. We see they are having the third baseman hold and Xavier drops a beautiful bunt that trickles out to third where neither the pitcher not third baseman can get at it and tears are streaming down the cheeks of Titan Faitfull while the Red Sox crowd whoops it up.
We take the lead when the next play results in the first baseman throwing the ball away trying to get the runner at home .Roneil steps up and drills a double in the right field gap breaking the game open. Jose follows with a 2 run single and we lead by 5 and go on to win.
A couple notes: our right fielders Raff and Xavier both made plays in the bushes in right field going where no man has gone in pursuit of outs
. Shawn also worked the crowd trying to catch a foul pop and later was observed seen having drinks with a girl from the sidelines impressed with his prowess.
Special note goes to Charlie who caught all 13 innings in brutal heart and gave them nothing all day ... no stolen bases and called a great game with Jim and Tim. Our catching has been great all year and we have substantially more stolen bases that we have given up which gives us a big edge in games.
Jim threw very well and deserved to win with his breaking ball handcuffing the Titans all day. Tim came in and fired the ball past the Titans and came up huge with men on to keep them shut down when there was no room for error. Roneil seemed to have watched the Lebron decision as he showed off his leaping ability grabbing a floating liner. Bill Bowen has a big day at third with several fine plays including one where he fieleded the ball behind the bag at third and made the long throw to Shawn who stretched out grabbed the ball and got the out.
John Liz got back on the hitting track with a double to right and we look for more of that down the stretch
Tim will pitch as we resume the Cannons game and keep firing for us to get the win.
Let's win 2 Sunday! These are big games for us
==========================================================================
In other news i saw where there is a 130 year old woman in Kazhistan or somewhere in that neck of the woods. It seems she is feeling old for her 108 and over league where she says they are too speedy for her now and is looking for a 128 and over league. Reporters have heard of one such league in Mongolia but it seems they go from base to base on horseback and it is a short season.
