Jake’s Takes: Dealing Kane offers plenty of upside

The Buffalo Sabres must trade Evander Kane.
I said it. It might not be what you want to hear, but I’ll offer some perspective.
Too many fans believe that he should be re-signed. In reality, we need to look at the team as a whole. There is no denying that Kane is essentially 25 percent of the team’s offense this season. Unfortunately for us Sabres fans, this is a problem. Too many variables play into why the Sabres must deal Kane before the deadline.

Old Team Tuesday: The Burke brothers

Old Team Tuesday is a weekly feature taking a look at former teams that have gone by the wayside. This week’s edition takes a look at the most successful youth baseball team Buffalo ever produced.

 **********************************************
At Cazenovia Park in Buffalo, there are two baseball diamonds and a softball field nestled along Warren Spahn Way. Spahn, the greatest baseball player to ever call Western New York home, represented South Park High School on that dirt. However, for all the accolades Spahn would go on to collect in his 21 seasons as a major league pitcher, his story isn’t the only legend born on that field. In 1929 – some 18 years before the Little League World Series was established – a group of teenage boys that epitomized the term “rag-tag” had a summer to remember, and it all started with a little rejection.
