Thanks for stopping by again!

Many do not know of or do not take advantage of the local baseball team that plays in Jamestown NY. Now known as the Jamestown Jammers they are the minor league team where players will later be sent to play with the Florida Marlins.

The team offers an opportunity to watch local games in a stadium close to the Jamestown Community College complex near Falconer N.Y. I have watched many of these games and the talent of the team members is exceptional.

This You Tube catches an event when Candid Camera played a trick on the pitcher at the beginning of the game. At this time the team was the Jamestown Expos. (they moved to Vermont in 1993 and were replaced by the Jamestown Jammmers)

I remember when Candid Camera was a popular TV program. Combining this stunt with a live game must have been an event for those present.

The atmosphere of a live game does not hold a candle to a game on TV. The crowd that gathers for the Jamestown Jammers is a variety of students, college attendees, local community families and die-hard baseball players.

When I attended Jamestown Community College one of my favorite spring and summer events would be to watch one of the games. It made a great break from photo classes, ceramics and computers.

Tickets are offered at many businesses and can be found by visiting the Jamestown Jammers official site. For a perfect summer evening take a trip to the college stadium for a game that you will remember.
