ESG coverage
-
- July
- 23
Empire State Games begin with tonight’s opening ceremony, which has been moved indoors at Binghamton U because of a bad forecast. No word on whether sailing has been moved to the water fountain.
Like every year we’ll bring as much of the Games to you as possible. Don’t expect the kind of wall-to-wall coverage we had last year when they were in Westchester, for obvious reasons. But we’ve got boys lacrosse writer Jeff Gold and softball stud Tony Pinciaro going to as many events as possible in Binghamton. As long as the baseball team does well you’ll be hearing plenty about it.
You can access our ESG page here. It’ll have all of the stories, notes, and results posted once the Games begin. In the meantime you can go there for the features and previews we’ve already done.
For more immediate updates check the ESG blog.

March 2003. He began working for the Gannett weeklies during the winter of
2002 as a freelance writer. He joined the daily staff soon after and has
since covered various high school and pro sports. Away from sportswriting,
Josh lives in Westchester and spends his free time either with his
fiancee, Sarah, or expertly managing his various championship-winning
fantasy sports teams. He's visited 21 major-league baseball stadiums and
insists that Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are the best by far. Josh
graduated from Carmel High School in 1998, then went to Boston University,
where, in 2002, he received a degree in communications with a minor in
history. 
Jake Thomases has covered baseball, hockey, girls basketball, and girls soccer for the Journal News since arriving in 2003. He previously interned at The Poughkeepsie Journal while attending Vassar College. He is socking money away under his mattress to buy the Knicks, at which time he will trade Jerome James to Cleveland for a ham sandwich.
