A nod to Syracuse’s baseball past

Cheer, cheer, cheer for the Chiefs. And Stars. Syracuse has a solid baseball history, we were reminded on Saturday’s open house tour through the guts of NBT Bank Stadium. Fortunately, much memorabilia is carefully displayed in Syracuse Mets team office space on ground level. It goes way back. Our guide told us the plan calls…

One last Chiefs game for the 2018 season is tater-ful

When my terrific daughter Elisabeth texted the invitation to go to the Syracuse Chiefs game with her, George Three, George Two and Sue, we were thrilled. My dear wife Karen was in danger of getting shut out this season. The rest of us got in one more, and she got her first for 2018. That…

A new spot to watch the ballpark fireworks works out glowingly

My dear wife Karen and I slung the bags containing our folding chairs over our shoulders and off we walked he night of the Fourth, winding down just a few blocks from A Bitty Better in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville in search of a good spot to view the fireworks forthcoming following the Syracuse…

Happy Fourth of July, with a Fireworks video

Let me take you up in the sky for some holiday cheer. Happy Fourth of July. Saved from a recent trip to the Syracuse Chief’s NBT Bank Stadium.

To celebrate the official arrival of summer, light up the sky with baseball fireworks

The Syracuse Chiefs are still synonymous with after-game fireworks. I went to two games last week. They both were followed with displays up in center field. I do believe I’m getting better at capturing the effects. Or maybe it’s my new iPhone 8. In any case, to celebrate the official first day of summer, here…

Cheering the Chiefs with the kids

When Elisabeth asks if I want to go see the Syracuse Chiefs, it’s easy to decide. No plans. Yes, my terrific daughter, I will join you and George Three the night before Father’s Day at the old ballyard. I noticed in the parking lot that George had cool decorations for his new desk at work…

My first Chiefs game of the year was a hit

Syracuse Chiefs baseball with KP and Bake sure was a nice way to break in a new season. My idea for the three of us to park our cars near the road by the Carousel entrance to Destiny USA turned out to be a good one. Syracuse’s mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex is just…

Meet and greet the Mets to warm up my birthday hot stove

Surprise, said the text from my dear wife Karen. She’d purchased me a gift to kick off my Birthday Week celebration in very big style. This year’s edition of the Syracuse Chiefs Hot Stove Dinner would feature a visit of some very special New York Mets. And I was now the proud owner of a…

The best fireworks (shots) ever

The fireworks display after the Syracuse Chiefs game on the Fourth this year were awesome. My iPhone 6s was in fine form. Maybe it was the angle from our third-base side seats that came with our four-for-$60 deal. Maybe it was my timing. Whatever the reason, I’m glad to share this year. My dear wife…

A beautiful night for a Chiefs game

It took a while to get back to the stadium this season. No Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle with my dear wife Karen and I this time around at NBT Bank Stadium for the Syracuse Chiefs. My bowling league team buddy Steve thought it would be a great idea for us to go with our…
