Rochester Men's Senior Baseball League, RMSBL Rochester, NY chapter of MSBL

Another snowy winter day...let's heat up the conversation. Three talking points...

1. David Ortiz was elected to the Baseball HOF. Should he have been?

2. Bonds & Clemens got denied. Right or wrong?

3. Who isn't in the HOF that should be?

Today, we honor the life & legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. But by all means, keep moving."

Tony Gwynn batted .338 for his career. No other Padre has hit .338 during any one single season!

What will YOUR batting average be this year???

Are you ready for some ... BASEBALL!
It's time to start getting ready for the 2022 season.

RALPH J. KOONS
AUGUST 23, 1960 - NOVEMBER 6, 2021

Ralph John Koons of Greece. November 6, 2021. Predeceased by his son, John Carroll; love of his life, Barbara Koons; parents, Mary Carroll and Eugene Koons; brother, Patrick Koons; brothers-in-law, Jim Sperr, Bill Sperr, AJ Sperr and Jeff Bennett; sisters-in-law, MaryAnn Koons, Mary Ellen Maloney. Survived by his daughter, Hannah (Adam Hanlon); brothers Gene and Billy (Karen) Koons, sisters Cindy Holden and Ann Marie Veronick; parents Jean and Andy Sperr; sisters-in-law, Nancy (Michael) Iafrati, Karen Sperr, Mary Clare Sperr, Judy Bennett, Pat (Chris) Ryan, Kate (Jonathan) Krotz; brothers-in-law, Dan (Sandy) and John (Shelia) Sperr, Pat Maloney (Marie Sergeant); billions of nieces, nephews, godchildren, and friends.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff at Rochester General Hospital for all their support during this time.

Ralph's life story will be shared during visitation on Friday, November 12th from 4-8pm at Bartolomeo and Perotto Funeral Home, 1411 Vintage Lane. A celebration of his life will be held Saturday, November 13th at 9:30am at St. Lawrence Church, 1000 N. Greece Rd. In lieu of flowers, please hug someone you love and consider a donation to your favorite charity.

Ralph Koons, first baseman for the Mets, has been put in hospice due to Covid-related symptoms. Ralph was a fixture in this League for 30 yrs. He was also a 2-time world series champion with the Rochester team in Arizona.

The only thing bigger than Ralph's personality is his HEART. His teammates loved him, but so did the opposing team. Ralphie would chat you up if you visited him at first base. He'd give you props for your base hit, or sincerely ask about your family.

Thoughts and prayers for one of our own, a good ballplayer and a great man.

With the holidays approaching, it's never too early to get a jump on your shopping! If interested, please contact Rich Boddy.

And the A's are back on top!

Manager Chad Hendy started on the mound for the A's, and Matt Jimenez picked up the save, as the A's defeated the Red Wings 5-4.
