	Latest playoff results The first round of the playoffs went pretty smoothly for the top 4 teams in the league. First we had the Ravens vs Royals on field 1, which saw the Ravens come out of top to advance to the next round. On field 2, the Leland Legends dominated the Stem by putting on a hitting clinic to beat them a lot to a little. The 11am games featured the Emperors vs Saints on field 1 where the Emperors went on to beat the Saints. The Gold then defeated the Bandits to complete the expected outcome of the top 4 teams advancing to the 2nd round of the playoffs in a 2 out of 3 match up. In this round the Gold faced off against the Ravens on field 2 with the Ravens starting the game with an early lead. The Gold came back and won the first game to take the lead in the series. The Gold is winning the second game with 3 more innings to go and had to be stopped because of a tornado! Across the field the Emperors faced off against Leland and there was nothing but excitement in this series. The first game saw a 1-1 tie until the 6th inning when Leland scored 2 runs in the bottom of the six to take and hold onto a 2 run lead to take the first game. The second game is now in the bottom of the 6th with the Emperors leading by a score of 3-2. The Emperors are the home team, so Leland has 3 more outs to go. Can Leland come back and score to take this game and advance to the championship? Not if the Emperors have anything to say about it. A lot is on the line for both teams, so good luck and let the best team win! This Sunday we'll pick up where they left off followed by the 2010 NYESL championship later that day!

	FINAL WEEK PREVIEW GAME OF THE WEEK The battle for 2nd place will take place at 10:00am on Field #1, between Leland Legends and Bronx Emperors. Both teams are currently tied for points in the standings. After a 1-1 tie earlier in the season against each other, the Emperors went on to beat Leland 3-0 a month ago. I believe this game will come down to who makes a mistake first. For Leland, someone will need to join Dave in driving in runs. Boobie has his sights set on this job (see Forum). For the Emps, someone will have to set the table for this week, since Vido will not be there. Who will step-up? HONORABLE MENTION Royals Vs Ravens – With the Saints playing two of the best teams this week, the Ravens will be looking to secure the #4 seed while the Royals will be trying to take the 5th seed from the Saints. REMAINING GAMES Bandits Vs Gold – Bandits are trying to hold on to the last playoff spot. Gold is trying to finish the season with only 1 loss. Ravens Vs Personal – Personal needs wins this week to get into the playoffs. Ravens did not score a run last week, they’ll be looking to rebound against Nothing Personal. Royals Vs Bandits – Can the Bandits hold on to the last spot? Can they finally score against the surging Royals? Stem Vs Leland – This might be a preview of a 1st round playoff game. Saints Vs Emperors – Saints are trying to solidify their playoff spot. They had a hard time scoring last week without Al Jr. He should be back after missing due to the birth of his daughter. (Congrats!) Personal Vs Stem – Is it too late for Personal? They need to win both of their games this week to stay alive. Saints Vs Gold – Gold is looking for the season sweep. Saints have other plans, they are out to prove their team is for real. Final Week Schedule 10:00am Field1 : Leland Vs Emperors - Royals(Ump) Field2 : Bandits Vs Gold - Stem(Ump) Field3 : Ravens Vs Personal - Saints(Ump) 11:00am Field1 : Royals Vs Bandits - Ravens(Ump) Field2 : Stem Vs Leland - Gold(Ump) Field3 : Saints Vs Emperors - Personal(Ump) 12:00pm Field1 : Personal Vs Stem - Bandits(Ump) Field2 : Saints Vs Gold - Leland(Ump) Field3 : Royals Vs Ravens - Emperors(Ump) See you all on the BLVD. -Ron

	Week 12 Schedule - Last regular season games The 2010 NYESL season is coming to a close this weekend and the NYESL has many great things to be proud of. From our collaboration with Nike SportsWear, the always exciting Memorial Day Tournament and the upcoming season finale, the NYESL once again demonstrated that the our Stickball community is as strong as ever. The NYESL is affiliated with other Stickball organizations in San Diego, Miami, Orlando, Puerto Rico, Manhattan and New Jersey and has members from places throughout the United States. Leagues in those areas have also had an exciting year and the NYESL congratulates them and looks forward to many more years working together to help promote the game of Stickball. As the premier league currently playing the fungo style (self-hit) of Stickball, the NYESL has made Stickball possible in other parts of the country. Past NYESL members were like Stickball seeds planted in places like Florida, California and Puerto Rico and they then introduced Stickball game within their community. Now, full leagues have sprung up throughout various states and are flourishing as never before. We thank the representatives from other leagues like Greg, Willie and Tim from San Diego, Eric and Ruben from Puerto Rico and Bobby and Nestor from Florida for supporting the NYESL and building true partnerships to help the game flourish. The NYESL would also like to thank the Manhattan Stickball League for supporting our Memorial Day Tournament. The NYESL is currently making plans to introduce the game to other local communities throughout New York City, so stay tuned for more information on that as plans are carried out and confirmations received. Stickball is rooted within the urban community in New York City and the NYESL has one primary mission: The New York Emperors Stickball League utilizes Stickball to provide a safe, healthy and affordable alternative for athletes of all ages. Family and friendships create the nucleus needed to carry on our Stickball tradition and we emphasize the importance of comradeship within our community. But, the competitive nature of our Stickball players adds a level of competition comparable only to professional sports such as Baseball or Football. This competitive drive is evident in all N.Y.E.S.L. sponsored events, especially in the most prestigious Stickball Tournament: The Memorial Day Weekend Invitational Classic Tournament. Our goal is to revive Stickball and bring it out of the New York City streets and into America’s spotlight, while at the same time maintaining a well grounded foundation from which to build upon for future generations. Final Week Schedule 10:00am Field1 : Leland Vs Emperors - Royals(Ump) Field2 : Bandits Vs Gold - Stem(Ump) Field3 : Ravens Vs Personal - Saints(Ump) 11:00am Field1 : Royals Vs Bandits - Ravens(Ump) Field2 : Stem Vs Leland - Gold(Ump) Field3 : Saints Vs Emperors - Personal(Ump) 12:00pm Field1 : Personal Vs Stem - Bandits(Ump) Field2 : Saints Vs Gold - Leland(Ump) Field3 : Royals Vs Ravens - Emperors(Ump)

	Week 11 Preview Game of the Week It was easy to pick the top game this week, because no other game has as much playoff implications as this one: Personal Vs Bandits. This battle will take place on Field #3, or as some call it, “The Field of Trees.” Both teams are vying for the last playoff spot and the Bandits have a 1 point edge going into Sunday. The season matchup so far has been split. Bandits will have to find a way to score more, last time out they scored just 1 run in 3 games. For Nothing Personal, the bats will have to stay hot as they did a couple of weeks ago when they collected 34 hits in their last 3 games. Honorable Mention Several good games this week, tough to pick just one. Gold Vs Emperors will matchup the top 2 teams against each other. This game means more to Emperors as they try to hold on to 2nd place. Will Gold play their regulars now that they have secured the #1 seed? Remaining Games Bandits Vs Stem – Bandits look to hold onto that last playoff spot, Stem tries to gain ground on the Royals. Ravens Vs Saints – A win for the Ravens will pretty much secure the 4th place spot. Saints will try to hold off those teams behind them. Leland Vs Royals – Leland is trying to catch the Emperors for 2nd place, any losses will put an end to those plans. Stem Vs Saints – Can the return of Wayne carry Stem into a hot streak before the playoffs? Mick and his teammates will try to end those thoughts. Gold Vs Ravens – Another good matchup this week. Ravens look to bounce back from a crushing defeat to Leland last week. Leland Vs Personal – Personal is fighting for rights to their first postseason, every game is important. Emperors Vs Royals – Royals are out to prove they are better than their record shows. All I can say is that Chino Vs Tito is the best sidewalk battle of the day! See you guys on the Blvd. -Ron

	2010 NYESL TEAM LEADERS I was browsing through the teams and the stats and decided it was time to do an article on each team, giving props to those that are helping their team week in and week out with their bats. I am starting with the last place team and work my way to the first place team. For the average category, I decided on a minimum of 30 At Bats, I am also putting the top 5 players for each team category. When we get to the league leaders, I have put the top 10.

	Week 10 Recap The forecast was for thunderstorms on Sunday, but Mother Nature had other plans for the Boulevard. The sun was scorching, the humidity was high and the games that were played were even HOTTER! Game of the Week Ravens and Leland was the featured match up this week. Leland out hit the Ravens and beat them 6-2. The Ravens missed out on a huge opportunity to make noise and a bid for 2nd place. Jay came up big for Leland by driving in 2 runs and going 3-3. Elvin drove in a run and collected 2 hits for the Ravens in the losing effort. Upset Special For the second week in a row, the Emperors were upset by the Bandits. This time the Bandits celebrated a walk-off, 1-0 victory. Bandits’ Captain Freddy comes through in the bottom of the 7th to drive in the winning run. In fairness to the Emps, they were playing with 7 guys once Eric left the game with a leg injury. Nevertheless, a win is a win! Other Action Saints 5 Vs Royals 4 – Juan drives in 2 for the Saints as they edge the Royals. Ralphy drove in 2 runs for the Royals. Emperors 3 Vs Stem 1 – Joey & Anthony collected 3 hits each as Eric drove in 2 for the Emps. Vic was 4-4 for Stem in the loss.

Ravens 8 Vs Bandits 0 – Ravens were flying high and out of the Bandits reach in this lopsided game. Elvin led the Ravens attack with a HR and 3 RBIs as the Bandits were shutout for the 2nd time on Sunday. Emperors 8 Vs Personal 6 – Emps prevailed in this slugfest! Mondy led the charge for his team. Ron and Ty were a perfect 4-4 for Personal! Ron had an RBI and Ty had 3 RBIs. Stem 4 Vs Royals 2 – Anthony Jr was 3-4 with a RBI in a big win for Stem as they trail the #6 seeded Royals by 3 points. Gold 6 Vs Leland 2 – Six Gold players had a RBI each in the all-around team effort. Boobie drove in both of the Legends runs. The loss puts Leland 3 points out of 2nd place. Gold 7 Vs Personal 5 – This back and forth battle was classic on Field 3. Both teams were taking advantage of the trees. Pito had a 4-4 game and 2 RBIs. Joey’s 4 RBIs and HR for Personal kept them in this game. Gold clinched 1st place with their victory. Congrats to Gold. -Ron
