  • Mike Fogarty0

    Scott Lowery

    We’ve all shared the experience. The passing of a loved one or dear friend fills our thoughts and conjures up memories we’ve shared. It’s hard to let go. For me, another one of those life-sadnesses occurred a few weeks ago, when good friend and colleague, Mike Fogarty, suited up for the team above. Mike could

  • Crosscutters and Bowman Field’s Centennial Season Opens Tuesday, June 20

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    This will be a season of baseball fun and action, as well as commemoration, when the Williamsport Crosscutters celebrate and commemorate the 100th anniversary of Historic Bowman Field. It certainly justifies the title of “historic,” having been the scene of great and noteworthy baseball and non- baseball events at the uptown ballpark. Founded in 1926,

    Terri Schlichenmeyer

    You’ve been waiting for this season for months. It’s just the right time to get outside and enjoy your favorite exercise, sport, or game, toss a ball around, or just get physical. There’ll be rainy days sometimes, but so what? Those are perfect for reading these great books… about sports. Hot dogs, apple pie, what’s

    Scott Lowery

    As we are reminded by attending a local SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) gathering, as our country approaches its 250th celebration, baseball and sports in general hold a very special place in our community’s history. ‘Historic’ Bowman Field will be celebrating its 100th anniversary this summer. Eighty-eight years ago, Carl Stotz stumbled over a

    Jim Webb

    I was ‘on the road again,’ as Willie Nelson would say — destination Pittsburgh. I haven’t traveled much the last couple of years because of my health, which includes back and hip issues. Almost all my miles have been within Lycoming County, except those in the adjacent counties that receive the Webb Weekly. I have

  • That’s Not Fair0

    Scott Lowery

    Think back to your childhood days and how many times you may have uttered those words. Even as adults, most have thought about or spoken those three little words at some time when confronted with a situation that seemed unbalanced. In reality, life itself is unfair, but athletic competition is meant to be undertaken on

    I changed things up a bit last year, but we are back at it with my Mother’s Day list! It’s hard to argue with a list this great, and so many examples of the awesome variety of moms we have out there! And to all the Moms out there, if no one has told you

    Scott Lowery

    Most likely, those who follow sports were not surprised when the recent news broke regarding the betting scandal of Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who checked himself into a treatment program to address a gambling addiction a week ago. While betting on sporting events has been around since sports themselves were established, the activity was

  • Williamsport Sun: May 5, 1926 – Williamsport Grays Open Season With 5-1 Win Over Indians0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    The 1926 New York-Pennsylvania League season was duly opened yesterday afternoon with appropriate ceremonies and the Williamsport Grays, holders of the 1923 and 1924 championship buntings, launched the campaign with a clean cut 5-1 victory over Glenn Killinger’s Shamokin Indians. The weather was more suited for football then baseball. Overcoats were comfortable. The sudden cold

  • He Got the Call to the Highest Level0

    Jim Webb

    Before I move forward with this week’s column, I want to clarify something that I’ve heard a few times over the years and again most recently. There are no cryptic messages within my column. To the person over last week’s column that thinks I communicate with Republicans in this manner while trying to undermine Democrats,

  • Bustle in the Burgh0

    Scott Lowery

    Among my sports memorabilia is a souvenir license plate touting the words “Pittsburgh, City of Champions.” The Pirates in 1979, the Steelers in 2009, the Penguins in 2017, all black & gold glory, all ancient history. Oh yes, perhaps Dean Martin’s 1955 hit record “Memories Are Made of This” says it all for western Pennsylvania

    Scott Lowery

    Twenty-five years ago, my interactions with Rich Zalonis were common. As a football statistician at South Williamsport, our meetings occurred weekly. But despite living in the same community, our paths have seldom crossed in recent years. Thus, I was surprised when he walked into our team’s dugout prior to a recent softball game in Hazelton.

    I was on the fence. I didn’t think this would work. I wasn’t the only one. I first heard of the large baseball and softball complex coming to our area many moons back. It was a big project. MASSIVE. I was super jealous. I followed in the papers and listened to what my friends at

    I will begin where I left off last week. My thoughts and prayers are with all who provide the freedom to write this column, the service men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Our Nation has been involved in a military conflict 90% of the time since its founding in 1776. This includes

    Our simulator is up and running. The putting green is set. It looks incredible. The Warrior Golf team room is almost finished. Much love to the Plankenhorns for their generous gift. We are so spoiled, and now the guys get to work on their games on campus. 24-7. Beautiful. Thanks to Lycoming College and our

  • Crowning Champions in March0

    Scott Lowery

    In a well-known metaphor dating back to 1879, the phrase ‘there’s light at the end of the tunnel’ is often used to describe the end of disappointing times. Unashamedly, repeating its usage today, the same can be said as March’s arrival has brought with it increasing daylight, signs of approaching spring, the beginning of the

    The Montoursville Hoops team is rolling. The Warriors have punched their ticket to the PIAA State playoffs. Coach Mike Mussina and his guys will face Lewisburg in the District 4 AAA Finals.

    It was a typical Sunday morning as the pastor stood before the parishioners making the weekly church announcements. As he departed to join the choir for the formal entrance to begin the service, he suddenly reappeared, stating, “One more announcement, the hockey game is 1-1 after two periods.” The congregation nodded and smiled approvingly. The

  • A Mixed Bag0

    Scott Lowery

    The objective began with simple intentions, searching the closet for an item I thought was readily at hand. Instead, it led to premature ‘spring cleaning’ with unused items finding their way into bags to be donated or discarded. While unintended, the exercise provided a refreshing cleansing experience. Accordingly, a similar approach provides the opportunity to

    Much love, sports fans. It is a great time of year. The high school basketball playoffs are near. The same with wrestling, swimming, and bocce. Best wishes to our local teams and individuals.

    My good friend Nick Tagliaferri and I were somewhat celebrities. OK. That was many moons back. We simply took advantage of our impressive basketball coaching resumes and candid personalities. SPENCE TAG RADIO was well before its time. This weekly gig had many listeners. But no major sponsors. Our successes were very short-lived. I truly believe

    I have a hard time believing that I’ve been doing this for 12 years! I picked up the torch from Mike Rafferty on a whim, and this column has gotten way more traction than I could have predicted (pun fully intended). Y’all know the drill by now. But in case you need a recap. Every

    As the Indiana Hoosiers were close to completing their meteor-like rise to the NCAA football National Championship, coach Curt Cignetti responded to a reporter’s question, answering, “This would make a good movie!” While that could indeed become a reality, trying to sell such an outlandish movie script to Hollywood before Cignetti’s arrival in Bloomington two

    Although it may be ancient history to many, “Bowling for Dollars” was a popular TV show airing in the 1970s.
