In a feature piece in today's Albany Times-Union, Mark Singelais reports that Shenendehowa grad Ben Anderson hasn't pitched due to having had Tommy John surgery on his elbow, and is training for a return at the Texas Rangers' spring home in Surprise, Arizona. Ben and twin brother Ian (Shen/Atlanta) technically don't represent the 518 anymore as their parents relocated to North Carolina recently.
Ian will return from the minors today to pitch vs. Miami in the 1st half of a doubleheader.

Impact Wrestling confirmed on Thursday that the October 7 Bound For Glory pay per view event will originate from the Washington Avenue Armory.
The Armory hosted an independent show back in March, and has a rich history of hosting wrestling in the 518, dating back to at least the 1970's, when promoter Ted Bayly alternated between the Armory and the RPI Field House. As of press time, the Armory's website doesn't have ticket prices listed for the show.
