The Orioles captured their
second straight regular season title although not as easy as
last season. They played a lot more closer games this season
than, but their veteran experience helped keep them on top.
They are going for an unprecedented third play-off
championship in a row. The only teams to ever win three are
the now defunct Dodgers and the old Braves which are totally
different from the current Braves. To do it they will have
to start against the Red Sox.
The Red Sox improved by three
more wins this year than last season thanks to the addition
of several talented players. They still didn't reach their
goal of being .500 but at least they are making a step in
the right direction. Of course drawing the leagues best team
in the first round is not what any team wants, but
eventually you would probably have to go through them. If
the Red Sox can play the way they are capable of this could
be a closer game than expected.
Season Series: Orioles 2-0

The Athletics finished second
to the Orioles for the second year in a row. Despite being
one win less than last year's record they are still a very
dangerous team. When they are running on all cylinders they
can be tough to beat! In fact for the third year in a row
they have lead the league in runs scored averaging 9.2 a
game. They have struggled with consistency during the season
but they always come prepared to play.
The Pirates must feel out of
their element, because for the first time in three years
(07, 08 and 09) they will not be facing the Braves in the
first round! They also won one less game from last season,
but did score 14 more runs over all, but gave up 21 more
runs on defense. The Pirates have some very good hitters in
their line-up and can hit with anyone when they are stroking
it well. This game can go either way despite the four win
difference between the teams.
Season Series: Split 1-1

Until the Braves swept the
season series this year both of these teams have split for
the last three seasons from 2007 through 2009. But even in
both games this season until a late inning rally by the
Braves in the second game the series would have split again.
The Tigers are like a fly, no
matter how many times you swat them they never go away and
if you do happen to kill the fly, another one comes back
just like the Tigers do! They did win a QVOTBL championship
in 2001 and several players remain from that team so they
know how to win the big game. The Braves finished by winning
7 of their last 8 games after starting 1-5 on the season.
Last year they did the same but fell short in the
championship game but hope they don't repeat the same
let down as last season. Whoever wins this game must be
taken seriously going forward for winning it all.
Season Series: Braves 2-0
Game 1: Braves 5 - 2

The Nationals improved this season by
two wins after having a disappointing season last year. In
2006 this team won both the regular season and play-off
titles which had only been completed by three other teams in
league history. But they have a team that could do it every
year. This season armed with only one true pitcher going
.500 is an amazing feat, but why they were able to do it was
because of their offense, which is just as good as any
team in the league.
The Cardinals are three time
regular season champions, but have never sipped from the
eternal play-off championship chalice! The Cardinals
were a dismal 2-13 in 2008 but have put together back to
back .500 seasons missing the championship game by one game
last season. This series would have been split, but a rules
violation by the Cardinals cost them a win and the third
seed in the play-offs. Despite that they have as good a
chance as anyone to win it all.

ARE YOU READY TO PLAY
SOME BALL???

In the fall
of 1995, two dozen baseball enthusiasts met on Sunday afternoons at
Parsons Field in Belchertown MA, to play baseball "for the shear for
it." During the following winter, the QUABBIN VALLEY OVER THIRTY
BASEBALL LEAGUE was organized and incorporated as a Massachusetts
charitable corporation. In May 1996, the first season got under way,
with approximately 50 players and four teams playing on two fields in
Amherst and Belchertown. Thirteen years later there is still a core of
charter members playing.
From the
beginning, three fundamental precepts emerged as guiding principles:
-
Playing
a high caliber of baseball can be balanced with good
sportsmanship.
-
That all
players are welcome to participate on a non discriminatory basis,
irrespective of ability, gender, or any other classification except
the minimum age of thirty years.
-
That all
games and other league activities are family oriented events so that
spouses and children can join in the great American pastime of
playing baseball.
The league
now consists of eight teams with over 125 men and women enjoying
baseball in an all ability, recreational, competitive atmosphere. We
pride ourselves with playing full M.L.B. rules and regulations with a
few exceptions which require all participants to play and bat. Full
major league uniforms, professional umpires and good playing fields have
become our standards. We now play throughout the Pioneer Valley, from
CT. to Vt., and have hosted teams from other leagues and states. Our
members have formed teams to play at the Cooperstown Hall of Fame, and
have traveled to tournaments in the winter in Florida, playing at M.L.B.
facilities. Although we are a Massachusetts Charitable Corp. and do
accept donations, we are self funded by our players dues. Each spring we
draft new players on a first come first serve basis, no tryouts, all
abilities. Register today and bring a friend or two!
