April 11, 2010- New York's Finest Baseball Club Returned home from Los Angeles, taking three of the four games from the LAPD Centurions. New York's Finest played solid defense, had great pitching and timely hitting for the first three games. Game four fatigue set in and the Finest failed to execute. "Overall the Team played well, everyone got their work in to prepare for the 2010 Season" Says Team Captain Ruben Cardona. NY Finest wants to thank The LAPD Centurions for their gracious hospitality and is looking forward to the next time the two teams meet.

St. Paul, MN Police Department Round Robin Tournament
June 2010- The NYPD Baseball Team returned to St. Paul, Minnesota to participate in a Law enforcement Tournament. NY Finest went undefeated in the event. The NYPD teamed up with several players from St. Paul PD and played a local Town team the Chaska Cubs. The combined team fell to the Cubs 5-4 in 10 innings. Lee Jones and Dave Mischo homered in the game. After the game, NY Finest players met with some of the fans. NY Finest players made a young boy's night. Players gave the boy (who is a NY Yankee fan) a team hat, Tee shirt, autographed bat and ball. As he left the park he told his dad " This was the best day of my life". Instances like this one humbles the players and makes the trip well worth it.

Did You Know?
The Famous interlocking New York Yankee logo was created in 1877 by Louis B. Tiffany for a medal to be given by the New York City Police Department to Officer John McDowell, the first NYC policeman shot in the line of duty. Because one of the club’s owners, Bill Devery, was a former NYC police chief, the design was adopted by the New York Highlanders who in 1903 became the New York Yankees.

The charity was started when Jack Brown, the son of 2 London sergeants, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of childhood cancer. The registered charity is now known as Jack’s P.A.C.K. (Police Against Cancer in Kids). Unfortunately, Jack has since died. But the same month that Jack passed away, the Met learned that 7 year old Robyn, the daughter of another London police officer, was also diagnosed with the same form of cancer. Their quest to raise money for research continues. Recently, Jet Blue Airlines became a corporate charity sponsor for Jack’s PACK.
