2008 Trico Season one week away...

Pennridge will open at the Mezza Luna Black Sox on May 14 at 6:00...

Team schedules are posted and the day-by-day schedule is posted...Starting times and umpires are completed through May...

2008 Trico season approaching...

The 2008 Trico season is less than 3 weeks away and there have been some offseason changes...Coplay folded, Quakertown was voted out (after using an illegal player in 2007) and the Mezza Luna Black Sox are a new team, puting the total number of Trico teams at 9 for the 2008 season...

The website will be updated before the season begins as I am way behind due to other projects...

But I will try and get all the schedules on the site within a week...

1990's stats and leaders posted on the site

I have been out of commission for several weeks due to a sudden surgery that kept me in the hospital for 9 days and limited my pc use for another couple of weeks, but now that I am feeling better, it is time to add a few things to the site...

To aid people in their nominations for players of the decade for the different decades, I have posted the leaders and individual players' stats for the decade of the 1990s, and that link can be found here:

I will be adding leaders and stats for the 1980s and 1970s soon...I have received some nominations already...Former and current players, officers, umpires and even fans, feel free to make nominations and email them to the website...
