Not many remember this but in 2004 John Alevizos, who landed the Blue Jays as an expansion franchise for Toronto in 1976, submitted a proposal to @MLB to bring the Expos to Connecticut.https://t.co/HFMxAREqy3 via @Middletownpress

Dartmouth men's hockey officially names Reid Cashman as head coach. Ex-Quinnipiac All-American and assistant spent past two years as NHL assistant in Washington. Tremendous hire.

Andy Baylock once tried inserting a raw cube steak into his catcher’s mitt for extra padding to soften the blows of Dalkowski's heater. After a few pitches blood from the steak began dripping down his arm, only adding to the terror of opposing hitters. https://t.co/SnEAB0CZdd

Just spoke to @YaleMBasketball Jordan Bruner, who confirms he'll play at Alabama next season as a graduate transfer. Baylor and Maryland were also in his final three.

@RallyRaven I remember him putting one on top of the batting cage behind left, but that may have been the HR contest between him and the guy from Reading

My quest to try and find some of the longest home runs hit on local Connecticut ball fields. This 505-foot blast by Anthony Sanders at Yale Field is high on the list. https://t.co/72PxoW6fx1

@nhrJoeMorelli Official scorer ruled it a four-base throwing error on the catcher.

ECAC Hockey will cancel the remainder of the tournament.

[Chip Malafronte @ChipMalafronte]

Yale has withdrawn from ECAC Hockey tournament. League will reseed. Quinnipiac will play Princeton with no fans in the building.

[Chip Malafronte @ChipMalafronte]

Still no official decision on whether fans will be allowed in the building at Quinnipiac for this weekend's ECAC Hockey series with Yale. Ticket freeze has been in place all week. There's another administrative meeting happening now, so we should hear something today.
