ValleyCats

I am really confident that the Valleycats will make some noise and contend for a Frontier League championship this year.

Greg Bird spent parts of 4 seasons in the big leagues with the New York Yankees. Bird knows the feeling of sending the Bronx Bombers' faithful into hysteria with one swing of the bat, in the playoffs, no less. Now, the former Pinstripe prospect is swinging for another shot at a Major League job.

The Tri-City ValleyCats have their best chance of winning a Frontier League Championship under manager Peter Incaviglia.

The ValleyCats and their fans were left without a team. As a result, ValleyCats President Rick Murphy, along with the other owners stripped of their affiliation took the MLB to court.

The Tri-City ValleyCats are one of four independent baseball teams involved in a anti-trust lawsuit against Major League Baseball. Did the MLB go too far?

For two decades, the Tri-City ValleyCats welcomed future Houston Astros players to the Capital Region, and this group of ex-Cats just won the 2022 World Series.

It was awesome watching Kumar Rocker pitch at the Joe this summer, and of course there was a noticeable spike in attendance when he was on the mound.

Mark Appel was a can't-miss prospect when he was drafted by Houston, and when he pitched for the ValleyCats, but didn't make his MLB Debut until this Wednesday.

He was selected with the No. 10 overall pick in last summer's MLB amateur draft. However, the Vanderbilt star was unable to sign with the team that chose him, the New York Mets. The front office for the Mets allegedly saw something they didn't like in Rocker's physical and subsequently reduced their bonus offer. When your representative is Super Agent, Scott Boras, you don't sign reduced contracts.

Kumar Rocker wasn’t lights out in his ValleyCats debut on Saturday, but over 4,000 fans saw why he was a first round pick last July of the New York Mets.

This will truly be an epic weekend for sports in the Capital Region. There are a plethora of options to choose from as to where fans want to go.

Memorial Day weekend and baseball is an American tradition. It is a time where family members get can together for an extra weekend day and enjoy a ballgame. We put together 4 cool baseball road trips that are about 2 hours or less away but unique enough that it is worth the ride, especially given the price of gas. The Tri City ValleyCats are on the road or that would have been #1!
