I can agree with Kevin as this is a great place to watch up and coming Major Leaguers perfect their craft to advance in their future on the diamond. He also is accustomed to Wahconah Park in Pittsfield as The A League Pittsfield Mets called this venue home for over two decades before changing their affiliation from The Mets to The Astros. Kevin educated us on how The Collar City of Troy, New York contributed to the game's inception from back in 1871 until 1916. The impressive list includes Mark Belanger, Jeff Reardon, Jack Chesbro and Frank Grant who were born and raised in The Berkshires, Pirates pitcher Steve Blass who hails from across the border in Canaan, Connecticut. There are also some connections from neighboring New York including Eddie Collins from Millerton, Roy Face, a native of Stephentown and Catskill's Edsall Walker.Īnd oh the stories that he shares as he clued us in on how Yankees great Babe Ruth spent a lot of his off time in The Berkshires as he hunted atop Mount Washington, dined at the former Jack's Restaurant in Great Barrington and played golf at The Wyantenuck Country Club. Kevin educated us on plenty of past players who have a connection to our tri-state region.
