Thought I would take a little time and update where many of the former Wizards and TinCaps are playing currently: Let’s start with the easiest – that being the Padres. On their active roster, are former WizCaps, Mat Latos, Wade LeBlanc, Nick Hundley, Chase Headley, Lance Zawadzki, Kyle Blanks and Will Veneble. Others who are on [...]

In 17 games with Triple-A Portland, Zawadzki is [...]

Yeah. It was a long time coming. I’ve taken the bold step of building my own theme for Baseball in Fort Wayne. Trying to clean it up a bit. Of course there are some other cool things to be added and tweaks to be made, but this is pretty much what I will have going [...]
Baseball in Northeast Indiana has a rich history that dates back the late 1800’s and has featured some of the biggest personalities and teams in baseball history. For example, the first organized professional baseball game was played in Fort Wayne, Indiana literally steps from where Parkview Field now stands. Since that time, the area has hosted [...]

Yes, a very cold Opening Night for the TinCaps at Parkview Field as they welcomed the Bowling Green HotRods to the MidWest League. A rather rude welcome at the hands of a 7-2 beating I might add. I snapped this pano pic from the outfield just before heading out. I’ll try to get a gallery [...]
