A bit OT: My 19th Century Baseball Team in the NY Times

[IronHorse2130]

I thought some of you might enjoy reading a recent NY Times article about my vintage baseball team, the NY Gothams. A reporter and photographer came to Governors Island two weekends ago and put together a nice story. If anyone is interested in playing with us let me know!

I saw that article Ben, and I live just a few minutes walk from the ferry. My wife and I try to go to Governor's Island once each summer. Will you be playing there again?

Beyond cool, Ben!! If you guys are playing on Governor's again, I'll definitely try and stop by too.

That's very cool.

Makes me think of the classic Conan bit:

"Thanks for the cool breeze. It was most cooling on my mustache."

Yeah, thats a funny segment. That was filmed at Old Bethpage, Long Island. We play there several times a year. Conan visited the year before I joined the Gothams.
