Saunders coach win COY

June

Chuck Alben of Saunders is the Section 1 coach of the year, as determined by his peers. Alben made Saunders into a legit team, surprising many. It was the first Yonkers team in years to be considered a real threat outside the league.

  1. LoHud Scout

    Congratulations to coach Albin. I’m in Cary, NC at the USA Basebll Tournament of Stats. No LoHud guys here but in Florida at the 16u champinships, Michael Bradshaw was specter to try out for the 16u USA team. More summer updates:
    I will be in Georgia for the 18u WWBA championships. World Yacht Clippers and Taconic Rangers will be there and Rob Aviles will pitch for the South Florida Bandits if he returns for a broken hand which kept him for the PG National Showcase.

  2. Enough Bradshaw!

    You are not a LoHud Scout. You are a kid. Stop pumping up yourself, please. This thread is about Coach Albin, not you (Mike Bradshaw)and your horrible spelling and grammar. Everyone who has played you knows that you are nothing but a hot head and a decent high school level fastball. Please stop touting yourself. You will get cut from Team USA.

    How does Chiapparelli not get it? Saunders was knocked out in a route in the first game of sectionals.

    The Mamaroneck love fest is old. Everyone who follows baseball in this area is well aware of Coach Chap and his team. Remember that there are other quality players and coaches in this area. Just give some accolades to the underdog with a less privileged group of kids. It doesn’t have to be all Mamaroneck all the time.

  5. Coach Alben

    Anyone who was at the All Section Dinner knows i gave credit to Chap and all of the veteran coaches out there. I was completely honored and shocked to win this award. I accepted the award on behalf of my players because they are the ones who performed on the field. Why do so many people post things without writing their name? I totally understand why anyone would think Chap deserved it…but at least take credit for your statements “OK Terrific” All in all, its always about the kids, and i’m sure Chap would agree. The award was nice, but seeing my kids perform at a high level, succeed in the classroom, and win 6 games out of the city of Yonkers was the biggest reward for me. Very proud of the boys from Saunders. We were very upset with our playoff performance and hope to prove our worth a little better in next years tournament.

    Coach, pay no attention to the idiots. Anyone with half a brain knows what kind of job you did with your team this year. My guess is that Chappy was thrilled you won COY this time around, thats the kind of guy he is. Congrats.

  7. Coach Chap

    Coach of the Year Alben, congrats on the award for your players hard work and your commitment to the program, I was the first to congratulate you on the award. Keep it up, you have the desire and fire Coach Chap honored to a friend and fellow coach of yours
