Back Posted: July 12. 2007 12:00AM Bond at the ball field West Coast college teammates reunited in Utica UTICA — When college baseball players graduate, they often hope to play again with former teammates in the majors some day. Two teammates at Cal State Northridge probably never thought they would be playing together again in Utica, nearly 2,750 miles from their college home. "It's really cool getting to play with Paul (Wilson) on my team again," said Alex Bardeguez, a utility player for the Oneida Barge Bucs of the New York State League. "He's a great player." Bardeguez were teammates on the 2006 Cal State Northridge Matadors. It was Wilson's senior season and Bardeguez's junior season. While both players are now playing in the NYSL, they have taken very different paths in their playing career. Bardeguez, a Long Island native, began his college career at Villanova University, but transferred to Northridge after his junior season. He said he made the move because Northridge, in the Big West Conference, had more quality baseball than the Big East. Coaches have liked Bardeguez's skills as a utility player, as he has played first, second and third base as well as both corner outfield positions. His skills aren't limited to the baseball diamond. He was on both the Big East and Big West All-Academic teams while earning a degree in marketing. Bardeguez was led to the NYSL by Northridge head coach Steve Rousey, who had heard of the league and thought it would be a chance for Bardeguez to continue his baseball career and be back in New York. 1 of 2 7/12/2007 9:12 AM Printer-friendly article page http://www.uticaod.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070712/SPORTS... "It feels real good to be back here and playing," Bardeguez said. "This is a great opportunity to play." While the NYSL experience is a sort of homecoming for Bardeguez, Wilson is far from home. Wilson is a native of Temecula, Calif. and spent the first two years of his college career at Long Beach State and Saddleback Junior College in California before settling at Northridge. After spending his college career as a third baseman and outfielder, Wilson signed with the San Diego Surf Dawgs of the Golden Baseball League and began his new career as a pitcher. "Some of the coaches really like my arm and got me started pitching," he said. Wilson moved from the Surf Dawgs to the Long Beach Armada for his second season in the Golden League, but was released mid-season. Dave Marcon, pitching coordinator for the NYSL, convinced Wilson he should give pitching in the league a shot. "It's good ball," he said. "I've really enjoyed it." Wilson has also enjoyed New York after years in California. "I like it, it's beautiful up here," he said. "Everything's so green."

    MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard.

Investments to expand the sports related venues for the greater Kanawha Valley as well as the state of West Virginia and surrounding states will have a two-fold benefit. Local residents will have access to first-rate venues for competition and exercise.

    Tight Squeeze If you were an Italian American growing up in the early to mid- 20th century, chances are that you or a sibling or one of your friends was forced to learn to play the accordion. So it was for 9-year-old Al Lazzarone, seen here (third row, third from left) playing with a band in Sacramento in 1932. Lazzarone, who moved to Reno in 1943 to attend the University, contributed this photo and his life story to a massive project being compiled by the University’s Oral History Program. It tells the story of the contributions of Italian Americans to northern Nevada’s history.
