I hope you are 6'3'' and solid, or have an open carry permit.

The Italians that came over during and after WWII were either laborers like masons and other construction or they ended up working in the factories. Central CT when Stanley and Fafnir Bearing were in their hey day was home to many different types of industry.

I think the Italians (which I am 100% first generation) were more towards the laborer and construction industry and the Polish immigrants were more skilled as machinists. I know I am generalizing but that was just my experience.

My grandfather was a mason and my godfather owned a large fence company that anyone who was driving on the Berlin Tpke in the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s would have passed.

Look at New Britain and Berlin for a start when it comes to industrial centers. Probably had more factories per square mile than any other state as well.

Great little documentary on NH Pizza & Italian immigration, if you haven't seen it.

Having spent a lot of time down there, your comments seemed off.... difference in humidity maybe.... but looking online, average summer highs in summer for Daytona and Ft. Myers are both in the high 80's. 😜
Expand ...
There is little difference in humidity.

If it's Florida, it's swamp @$$ from May-October. No escaping it.
 
I turned on the CT/Nevada game just now. First inning. Next pitch, BOOM....3 run Homer for NV.
I hope I won't have to skip watching all the hoops games this winter.

It’s interesting we can’t wait for summer to be over in AZ . Even the kids the parks are deserted all summer.
Because they only get 5 weeks when it’s hot , 2wks the last week in Sept first of Oct.
Then 3 weeks for Christmas plus a couple of more. In the spring
I spent the last 5-6 late summers to fall in Ct . ,,,,Summer is over for me
The weather will be perfect when I return ,the bad news I’m not staying long enough to catch a UConn BB game this year .
I can’t get anyone interested in a football game

I go to every home football game and usually my friends get so bombed they pull out the karaoke machine and start blasting random one-hit wonders from the 90’s during the tailgate.

Always a good time.

We follow that plan even though we live in Ft Myers. We stay in Daytona summer home ( 15* cooler than Ft. Myers in summer with almost no humidity) then we get 80 degrees and no humidity for 6 months till the next summer.

No humidity in summer in Daytona and 15 degrees cooler than in Ft. Myers? We need to see the NWS charts on those claims..........
 
ESPN's top 10 tomorrow simply HAS to include the centerfielder's spectacular over the head grab early on.
As I understand it their ace pitcher will be ready to go on Saturday. Catcher's catch and sweep tag at home on a throw from right field cutting down
a Nevada run early on should be in the top 10 too.

Loved watching this!

Gaetanos’s blows both of those away. Sorrento’s is solid, but they are known for small sandwiches. A&S is overrated.
Expand ...
Agreed but Gaetanos is in Westport, and owned by Albanians not Italians. Fairfield National LL covers the east side of Fairfield where both those delis are located.

Fairfield vs Nevada

Defense by Fairfield was special. SS and CF major league.
 
Pretty impressive run by these kids, so they are in the US Final correct? Have to be beaten twice by either NV or SC?
 
The US championship game is a 1 game playoff. No more double elimination at that point.
 
BTW: Fairfield's centerfielder's catch? Got #6 in this morning's top ten plays.

Question: the USA championship goes to Saturday winner between Fairfield and
South Carolina. Does the winner play the International champ on Sunday?
Probably without their best pitcher who will be going Saturday.

if they make it to Sunday, Fairfield would have to pitch their first baseman. #1 and #2 would not have enough rest days at that time. not sure who P #4 is but he'll probably have to get some innings on Sunday.
Taiwan probably has better pitching depth than Fairfield
