Openers in NY-P League

If you're giving up long-distance drives this summer to see big-league games, the folks in Batavia and Jamestown have some alternatives for you. New York-Penn League action started Tuesday night and the home opener for the Batavia Muckdogs (love that name) is tonight in Dwyer Stadium.

The Muckdogs, who nearly went kaput in the offseason, have a new GM in David Wellenzohn (a former Bisons front-office man) and are now being run by the neighboring Rochester Red Wings, who generously stepped in to help keep the team afloat operationally. They are a Cardinals affiliate.

The Jamestown Jammers are owned by Rich Baseball Operations and are a Marlins affiliate. They won their home opener over State College, 7-6, Tuesday night but have already been rained out for Wednesday.

If you are a baseball fan, the only thing better than watching a game is talking about it. And there will be lots of talk here, from the Yankees to the Bisons and around the majors. Reporters Mike Harrington and Amy Moritz provide the background and commentary.
