Greg Bird spent parts of 4 seasons in the big leagues with the New York Yankees. Bird knows the feeling of sending the Bronx Bombers' faithful into hysteria with one swing of the bat, in the playoffs, no less. Now, the former Pinstripe prospect is swinging for another shot at a Major League job.
Former New York Mets and Yankees star, Darryl Strawberry will make his way to the Capital Region to speak about the dangers of drug abuse and addiction. Strawberry has written several books on addiction recovery.
For two decades, the Tri-City ValleyCats welcomed future Houston Astros players to the Capital Region, and this group of ex-Cats just won the 2022 World Series.
I like the format change for the Class AA baseball finals. For the first time, it’s a best of 3 series at Joe Bruno Stadium to determine the Section 2 Champion.
Manager Pete Incaviglia has a quality team, that will compete for the Frontier League Championship, and the Cats hope to draw 3,000 fans per game this summer.
The Tri City ValleyCats open up their 2022 Frontier League season on the road Thursday against the Florence Y'Alls. The Y'Alls are from Kentucky and one of 8 new teams, for a total of 16, that will travel to Joe Bruno Stadium in Troy this summer. The Frontier League is one of the premier independent professional baseball leagues and is a partner with Major League Baseball.
If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend make sure to head to Troy and watch The Tri City Valleycats open up their season against the Vermont Lake Monsters.
