Next year always does seem to roll around, but in an appreciative retrospect, ‘this year’ has it all over last year when it comes to the sports we all enjoy, and

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    It has been 20 months since the Williamsport Crosscutters last took the field at the newly renamed Muncy Bank and Trust Park at Historic Bowman Field.

    Scott Lowery

    In any business or organization, the need to go to Plan B doesn’t always produce positive outcomes. Still, for the Williamsport Crosscutters, that fallback position has been greeted with smiling faces and open arms as the result of Pennsylvania’s relaxed COVID restrictions allowing ballparks across the state to operate at 100% capacity. While the newly

    Tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American Flag on the side to skipper Casey Waller and his South Williamsport Mountie baseballers. South recently won the Backyard Brawl for the first time since 2003 by defeating Montoursville soundly 12-6. Earlier on that Saturday, the Mounties defeated Loyalsock 1-0. It doesn’t get much better than

    Scott Lowery

    In the Lowery family, April is a month of many birthdays. Daughter Denise, son, Doug, a grandson, and I share the same month, another grandson was born March 31, and daughter-in-law Angie checks in on May 2. It has been our tradition to celebrate the collective observances with a single gathering. Having forgone family gatherings

  • Tom Speicher Completes Bill ‘Buck’ Byham’s Unpublished Novel0

    Press Release

    When local sports legend Bill Byham passed away in late May 2017, his unpublished novel — offering relevant life lessons through the prism of junior-high football — could easily have died with him. The manuscript of “Bucky Deacon’s Dilemma,” pecked out on a typewriter during summers by the pool, had languished for decades since Byham

May the green many of you are wearing soon be matched by the arrival of green grass on our lawns and warmer temperatures abounding!

    Just one week after Punxsutawney Phil saddled us with his unwelcomed six-more-weeks-of-winter prognostication, the Williamsport Crosscutters provided us with a glimpse of spring with the release of the 2021 season schedule for the new MLB Draft League. The Cutters are joined in the six-team circuit by the State College Spikes, Trenton Thunder, Mahoning Valley Scrappers,

    It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year! As I’m in agreement with Andy Williams and his Christmas carol classic. Therefore, I’ll hold off on talking about anything that is politics, pandemic, or Governor Wolf’s complete poppycock that’s playing out each and every day. Hopefully, I get a new Louisville Slugger pen for Christmas to

    This year continues to be a bad year for baseball players I admired in my youth.

    Back when there was Minor League baseball at Bowman Field, one of the many between-innings fan contests featured was the tried and true game of musical chairs.

    While watching a recent TV show, the near irrelevancy of the once-popular encyclopedias was a subject of discussion. In today’s fast-paced technology-driven world with information available at the touch of a finger or voice command, it is easily understood how those once familiar door-to-door knowledge salesmen are now a thing of the past.

    Adding to the grimness of what we all have been dealing with, the weather outside was dreary and raining as the dawning of another day of homebound isolation dawned upon us.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! Like when you do something for the first time, it seemed a bit strange to write the date 2020 as I prepared for this first column of the new year. Most likely many of us will have a few ‘date stumbles’ when we write our first check or fill out information at

    There were occasions during my professional career when I was involved in conducting job interviews. Everyone-once-in-awhile I would ask the applicant a totally hypothetical question – “If the job fairy could grant you any job you’d want; what would it be?” It was an off-the-wall question with some surprising answers. One applicant once answered, “I
