Coach New football coach Dino Babers and AD John Wildhack were special guests for last night’s Chiefs game. They both threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Wildhack threw a solid strike. Coach Babers, whose windup almost mimicked a young Vida Blue, went “wild thing” and threw it low and way outside. He was a good sport though and made sure to cover the plate after the passed ball. This was a great intro into the community.
Here’s a sample from a tune played during the Jazz in the City (Westside) show on Thursday, featuring Elan Trotman and Brian Simpson. Their put together band included Rochester musicians Corey Owens (drums) and Carlton Wilcox (bass). They are featured on the clip.
Their synergy was excellent and the overflowing crowd on Park Street showed them much love.
We saw Wilcox when he played here with Frank McComb, and Owens when he played with Danielle Ponder.

Buffalo pitcher Patrick Michael Venditte showed off his ambidexterity earlier this week as he pitched several shut out innings against the Chiefs. His slider had equal velocity and movement from each arm.
