The phone call took place late Monday night. I was on my way back to the office after a basketball game and decided to make a call home to say I wouldn’t be back until later in the night. And that’s when I got the news no one’s self-discipline wants to ...
Dear Babe: In 1994 my wife and I traveled to Washington D.C. for a vacation. A new sports bar, “Senators,” had just opened on the street level of our hotel. In the bar, we noticed a man that people were talking to, getting pictures of and signatures from. I was told it was ...
“Newton’s Revenge.” That’s the apt name of the trail you take to reach the Stratton Brook Hut, the newest gem in the Maine Huts and Trails system (www.mainehuts.org). Stratton Brook is spectacularly sited on the top of a hill with Sugarloaf Mountain to ...
ESPN NH 900-AM host Matt Perrault will write periodic columns for nashuatelegraph.com. He can be heard weekday afternoons on The Home Team. Welcome to March, the best sports month of the year in my opinion, or as New England sports fans call it, the third month on their Red Sox ...
Greetings from Maine, where my sweetheart Marilyn and I are transitioning from several days of absolutely splendid Alpine skiing at Saddleback and Sugarloaf to what should be several days of exceptional backcountry Nordic skiing. We got up early and skied into Stratton Brook Hut, the ...
My better half and I are four months into the married life, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked if things are different. To my delight – or I suppose for some, dismay – I can proudly say, married life isn’t that much different, ...
Dear Babe: I am hoping you can help me with a mystery. I have a regular no name bat that is stamped “1962 Sportswriters Convention.” There are several signatures on the bat, but not long ways, but around the bat. The one signature that I believe was from the event is Casey ...

The end was a heartbreaker, a 72-63 loss to Hobart in a Liberty League final that they were leading for most of the game. But senior Jamie Zajac can still look back as his senior season at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as the highlight of his college basketball career. Zajac was still ...
Think it’s been a cold winter in New England? Here’s what the typical early morning temperature was this time of year in Iroquois Falls, Ontario: “Oh, about 40 below,” Hudson’s Phil Sweeney said. “It’s another world up here. ...
BURLINGTON, Vt. – Style points don’t matter. Hockey East points do. The University of New Hampshire hockey team picked up another one Saturday with a 1-1 overtime tie against Vermont at Gutterson Field House. The Wildcats (17-8-5, 12-7-4 HE), who entered the contest tied ...
I finally did it. This past week, I bit the bullet and went to see my doctor for the dreaded P-word. I got a physical ... and I am alive to tell you about it. Well, to tell you about some of it. It was mostly good news. Certainly, better news than whenever I went for physicals when I was home ...
Appearing like an apparition from the middle of a snow shrouded mist, the small hawk keeled sharply in a tight banking turn as he saw my form beneath his path of flight. Just as suddenly as he had materialized, he quickly melted back into the veil of whiteness falling from the sky. The ...
Imagine you are playing the TV game show Jeopardy and this answer came up “pure, silly fun and great exercise in the snow.” Your question would be “What are sliding snowshoes?” Sliding snowshoes bridge the gap between snowshoes, which can go almost ...

Spring is coming, and for Amherst’s Eric Howard, the new season won’t be quite the same. For years, the routine was to climb out of the pool and on to the pitchers mound. Howard was a standout in both swimming and baseball at Souhegan High School. Now at the College of ...
He was in sunny Arizona, away from all the snow and cold of New England, and with that sunshine brought even more hope to the always optimistic Brad Zapenas. That optimism was put to the test last year when, in late May, he tore his labrum diving to make a play at third base for the Peoria ...
