If you’re looking for something to do this Fourth of July weekend, look no further than Utica because that is when Adrean’s annual Blue & Gold Classic will be played. Put simply, this tournament field is flat out loaded. There are seven teams from New York, including each of the past three NYS championship teams, three perennial powers from New Jersey and a two-time Maryland state champion. Rounding out the field of 12 is the winner of two of the previous five World Youth Championships from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.
Baseball fans are in for a treat when this weekend comes around. With the NYS Tournament taking place in Newburgh this year, this is sure to be the best baseball in the area this summer. This might even be the best display of amateur baseball in the state in 2008 as the field is likely even deeper than that of the NYS Tournament. Play will be begin on Thursday, July 3 with the championship game slated for Sunday, July 6. The games will take place at three locations in the area: Murnane Field at Donovan Stadium, Joe Corr Memorial Field at New Hartford Sr. High School and Notre Dame Junior/Senior High School. I will post a detailed schedule once I receive the information.

This is a great thing for this area. Applause is in order for the people responsible for this and especially Mike Macchione. High quality competition and it will only get better in years to come
The original founder of this tournament, Gil Wood is from Binghamton where the tournament has been held in the past. From what I understand he remains involved. It is Binghamton's loss and Utica's gain.
As a player on the 1966 State Champion Adrian Post Team, I think you should recognize that Adrian Post is a 3 time New York State Champion! Hats off to Mike Macchione and his committment to Legion baseball
Ahhh will do. I was working from records that only went back to 1970 so I was unaware of that. Thank you for pointing it out. I'll add it. ps. Shouldn't you know how to spell "ADREAN" if you played with them?...just kidding of course...Thanks for reading and providing input.
Thanks for your prompt attention and updating the site.....I'll definitely check in from time to time. Regarding my misspelling of Adrean Post....Howie Manore(sp) would have benched me!
