By Jack Healey Week one in high school football is in the books and there were a few surprises as I went 9-6. I was somewhat surprised that Rice defeated Mt. Mansfield and Otter Valley beat Milton. I’m not shocked that Hartford defeated St. Johnsbury, but it appears that those two teams are as evenly […]

1949, 1974, 1978 and 2011 are all years in which the Red Sox blew the pennant or the division. For you youngsters 1949 is a year in which the Red Sox only had to win one of its remaining two games against the Yankees and lost both. I was only one year old so I […]

A record $617,634 was raised for the foundation for its research in spinal cord injuries. Travis Roy was paralyzed from the neck down just 11 seconds into his college […]
By Jack Healey I wrote the other day that Red Sox fans shouldn’t get too giddy about the four game sweep over the Yankees because they have to do it again in October. I was being somewhat facetious. Red Sox fans aren’t stupid. They all know nothing means anything until October. We know! We know! […]

The State Legion baseball tournament continues today with three games on tap at Castleton University. The tournament will wrap up on Wednesday. I know people are busy with summer vacations etc., but Legion baseball is way better than high school baseball so there should be more interest in it. It’s just better baseball! Think about […]
By Jack Healey The OEC Kings will not be playing in the State American Legion Baseball Tournament this weekend because they used an ineligible player. It is disappointing for all the players involved, but a rule is a rule. OEC might’ve been the best team in the state too. One of my pet peeves is […]
