  • Summary

  • In the second half our our interview, Matt explains the ValleyCats' move to the independent Frontier League, and the obstacles the club overcame during COVID and the contraction of Major League Baseball’s (MLB) minor league system. We also dig into the archives to explore Troy’s deep links to baseball’s earliest days, including the first-ever grand slam in MLB history, hit by a Troy Trojan right here in Rensselaer County.

    If you haven’t heard part 1 of Chapter 05, we strongly recommend you go back and check out the first half.
