First Base\Outfield

“Cap” founded the Melrose Pondfeilders in 2001. It was Jim’s dream to have a vintage base ball team in his home town and after two years with the Bristol (RI) Blues, he achieved his goal. Jim is Melrose’s captain on the field and the president of the club too. He excels in both positions. Under Jim’s guidance The Melrose Pondfeilders have maintained a winning record in both seasons they have played. His sure hands, tall frame, and graceful agility make him the quintessential first baseman. His batting power is legendary which means his name is always penciled into the meat of the order. His even temper and gentlemanly play set a high standard for the team, and indeed the rest of the league, to follow. Jim’s brother Tom plays the Pondfeilders as well, they are one of three brother combinations on the team.
