  • Javan Emory: Williamsport’s Unknown Black Baseball Pioneer0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    During the 1880s, for a short time, the door to organized baseball was slightly ajar, allowing some African Americans to play and excel in our National Game. One of these Black baseball pioneers was former Williamsporter Javan Emory, who played both locally and for teams out of the area from about 1877 until about 1897.

  • 60 Years of Super Bowls 12 Years of Predictions0

    Steph Noviello

    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

    Jamie Spencer

    Special thanks to my friends from the Williamsport Crosscutters. I was in the crowd for the 18th annual Hot Stove Banquet. It was a rather festive evening. A well-organized event. Great food and camaraderie. Tons of raffles, door prizes, and auctions. $10,000 went to the United Way. The Genetti was packed. Gabe Sinicropi is the

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Two weeks ago, this area suffered the loss of one of its most outstanding citizens and a man dedicated to the service of others — John Troisi. I knew John, maybe not as well as many other people, but I was still able to get a sense of the man and his love of humanity

    Merry Christmas to you and your family! My wife and I have officially navigated all the Christmas parties and holiday get-togethers, and now we’re excited to slow down, relax, and celebrate the holiday with family. This year looked a little different for us. It was a bit more challenging at times, but it was also

  • Bowling0

    Scott Lowery

    Although it may be ancient history to many, “Bowling for Dollars” was a popular TV show airing in the 1970s. The show’s format was simple; contestants could win cash and prizes based on their bowling performance. The uproar created by the College Bowl Selection Committee’s December 7 announcement of the twelve teams to participate in

  • Still Plenty of Holiday Ahead!0

    Steph Noviello

    Sleighbells are ringing — or is that an alarm reminding me I still have stuff to do? Ehh it’s OK. I have most of what I need to do done, everything else is between Amazon and me, and a small (OK, not too small) stop at the grocery store. OK, multiple grocery stores. It’s fiiiiine.

    Penn State is still looking. The Nittany Lions decided to fire longtime coach James Franklin back in October. The fans and alumni were furious. It was a bold move. And unfortunately, AD Pat Kraft has not found a replacement. Many of the candidates have used this opportunity to land extensions at their existing schools. The

    Happy late Thanksgiving to the fine readers of the Webb Weekly. And special thanks to those who are fans of this page. I am truly humbled by your feedback and praise. I often receive several shouts in public. Strangers also recognize me from these columns. I gratuitously thank them with a fist bump. Cool. Before

    The six-month marathon, which this year extended to the first day of November, of the Major League Baseball season is now officially history. Regardless of personal rooting interests, the record-setting seven-game thriller between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays will go down as one of the best World Series ever played. There

  • Conundrum0

    Scott Lowery

    Although it is not a word most folks use in everyday conversation, conundrum was a word often used by a colleague during my pre-retirement working days. Meaning “puzzle, mystery, challenge,” it sounded a bit like a sophisticated way to express ‘there’s trouble ahead.’ Somewhere along life’s path of journalistic learning, I was told the number

  • Leave Room for Joy0

    Jimmy Webb III

    I’m going to preface this by saying I played sports, so it’s what I connect to. But even if your passion is reading, music, or something else, I think the underlying message still applies. As I’ve mentioned in a previous article, when I’m “in” on something, I’m all in. Growing up, that “something” for me

    Jamie Spencer

    A very long time ago, in a gymnasium nearby. A friend was in a bind. He reached out for some help. I was on the fence. I had been away from the game for a year. I enjoyed my first undefeated season from the stands. But I missed it. I talked things over with my

    Scott Lowery

    Of all the many wonderful experiences and memories this year’s Little League World Series generated for those of us on the iHeart Media radio broadcast team, the one that sticks with me the most occurred before the first pitch was thrown. Hours before the tournament’s opening ceremonies were to begin at Volunteer Stadium, colleague Ken
