Each season in Somerset, we pay tribute to the New York Black Yankees, who played in the Negro Leagues from 1932 to 1948, with a special night.

Our annual game as the New York Black Yankees this season will take place on Saturday, August 1st!

@12thmanPR @acannon84 Congrats AC! Great tenure

Every Christmas Eve, I think about George Bailey.

He dreamed of escaping Bedford Falls—of shaking off the dust of a small town, building skyscrapers, exploring the world. Instead, he stayed. He ran the Building & Loan his father left behind. He sacrificed his college money, his honeymoon savings, his chance to see the world, over and over, because people needed him.

By the time the crisis hits, George feels like a failure. His life looks like one long series of missed opportunities, thwarted ambitions, and quiet resentments. He stands on the bridge, convinced the world would be better without him.

Then Clarence shows him the truth: a Bedford Falls without George Bailey is a darker, meaner, hollowed-out place. The people he quietly helped, the small acts of integrity he performed without recognition, the risks he took to protect others—those weren’t detours. They were the substance of his life.

The film’s deepest insight isn’t just that “no man is a failure who has friends.” It’s that real impact is almost always invisible in the moment. The lives you steady, the small kindnesses you extend, the responsibilities you shoulder when no one else will—these things ripple outward in ways you may never see.

A strong sense of purpose doesn’t erase pain; it transforms it. It doesn’t merely explain why hard things happened. It asks: What are you now responsible for because they happened?

Faith, at its best, does the same. It doesn’t promise that everything was “meant to be” in order to make suffering palatable. It invites you to look at what has been entrusted to you in light of what you’ve endured.

George’s story reminds us that meaning is rarely found in the grand escape, but in the faithful presence. The dreams we surrender don’t always vanish—they often become the raw material for something more enduring than we imagined.

If you’re carrying the weight of roads not taken, of dreams deferred, of a life that feels smaller than you once hoped—watch It’s a Wonderful Life again tonight. Not as nostalgia, but as revelation.

You may not see the full difference you’ve made yet.

But it’s there.

And it matters more than you know.

Merry Christmas, friends.

@BeatinTheBookie Cool…Now turn the camera around and show what they are doing in front of 100,000 people all yelling the same thing to understand the power of what they are doing here and how that effects communication from the opposing team. #GigEm

@nut_history I feel a bit over rated. A big one back in the day in early 70s but now not so much. I like his other book better: Foul Ball about Wackonah park

@jim_haley Saw Sean Burroughs play for LI Ducks when we played them. He was a very annoying player. Played with passion

My cards I bought from eTopps in 2001 when it first came out and is now coming to an end, so getting them home. #thehobby

[Dave Marek @dmarek94]

@SherlockStocks_ Nah. Truth be told I kinda forgot about them. Cool to have bought in the first year which so happened to be a Pujoles and Ichiro rookie year! Bonus!

[Dave Marek @dmarek94]

@SaveETopps Took about 3 weeks after order to receive. Not bad

@AggieFootball Since becoming a student in 90 and experiencing great football under the RC also I’m days. Greatness can be had but it’s been a long struggle for Aggie fans since the 90s. When will the futility end?
