The two key figures in one of major league baseball's most memorable on-field gaffes will appear together as part of the Watertown Wizards' annual hot stove dinner next month, the Wizards have announced.
Former New York Met Mookie Wilson and former Boston Red Sox Bill Buckner are scheduled to speak on Feb. 3 at the Jefferson County Exhibition Hall. A meet-and-greet is scheduled for 5 p.m., followed by a dinner and the former players' appearance.
Wilson delivered the grounder down the first base line that rolled through the legs of Buckner for an error that scored the Mets' Ray Knight with the winning run in the 10th inning of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. The Mets had been down to their final out and on the verge of elimination before the rally. New York went on to beat Boston in Game 7 and win their most recent World Series title. The Red Sox had been attempting their first Series title since 1918.
Wilson and Buckner have appeared together at various venues and charity events in the last year. Last October was the 25th anniversary of the error that went down in baseball lore.
Tickets for the Feb. 3 event are on sale for $40 (VIP) and $25 (general admission). Tickets may be purchased by emailing the Wizards at watertownwizards@hotmail.com or by calling the Wizards at 315-212-9799.
Last offseason, the Wizards brought former major league pitcher Tommy John to speak at its hot stove dinner.
For a second straight year Massena native Andy Draper, a minor league umpire, was selected to work a postseason series.
Draper, who started in the short-season Class A New York-Penn League last year, spent this season working in the full-season Class A South Atlantic League.
He finished the season by working a Northern Division semifinal series between Greensboro and Hickory, which Greensboro swept in two games.
Massena native Andy Draper, an umpire in the Class A South Atlantic League, became one of the most recent victims of a well-known prank by the Famous Chicken, formerly known as the San Diego Chicken.
Draper was working home plate on Aug. 15 in Lakewood, N.J. for a game between the Delmarva Shorebirds and the Lakewood Blueclaws.
It happened to be a night that the Famous Chicken, who tours major and minor league parks throughout the country, happened to be in town.
"The Chicken was extremely nice to us and talked us through everything he was doing on the field," Draper said. "It was definitely one of the highlights of the year to be a part of his act."
Brasher Falls native Derek Lalonde, who was one of the candidates for the Clarkson University men's hockey head coach position, has been chosen to be the head coach of the U.S. Hockey League's Green Bay Gamblers, according to the Denver Post and Green Bay Press Gazette.
Lalonde, a former goalie for St. Lawrence Central and SUNY Cortland, has been an assistant coach at the University of Denver for the past five seasons.
Green Bay has been without a coach since Eric Rud left to take a position as an assistant at Colorado College.
The U.S. Hockey League is the top junior hockey league in the country and sends several of its alumni to NCAA Division I schools.
This will be the first head coaching job for Lalonde, who spent four years as an assistant at Ferris State prior to his stint in Denver.
Chelsea Randle and Jacklyn Peterson each finished second in their respective divisions for the Watertown YMCA Twisting Starz team at the YMCA National Gymnastics Championships on June 23-25 at Toledo, Ohio.
The Twisting Starz, coached by YMCA gymnastics director Shawna Cutuli, sent 18 girls ranging in ages 8-14, to the competition. There were 1,700 gymnasts from 17 states at the meet.
“We are very fortunate to have our small team compete and medal at this national event,” Cutuli said. “It just shows that if you believe in what you are working for and put forth the commitment you can do anything.”
Randle scored 35.85 points in the Level 6 junior division, while Peterson finished with an overall score of 33.275 in the Level 6 child category.
Mackenzie Shortt-Jobson was seventh in Level 5 juniors, and Giavanna Doldo finished eighth in the Level 4 child division.
“The girls are very dedicated, putting in anywhere from 6-12 hours a week,” Cutuli said. “It takes a lot of commitment, not just from the gymnasts, but the families also sacrifice time, energy and money. Our goal is not just coaching gymnasts but building strong and confident youth who can take on any challenges in life.”
The local team is also coached by Tara Chernaskey and Samantha Bobkoskie.
Chadd Call captured first place in the 15-17 age group at the first Northern New York Junior Golf tour event Monday at Ives Hill Country Club.

On the following day he again won the gold in the 10K road race with a time of 50:05. The second place runner was more than seven minutes behind Hasseler.
Hasseler, a retired Watertown High School social studies teacher, qualified for the competition by placing first in the Empire State Games in Cortland in 2010.
Former Major League Baseball pitching standouts Vida Blue and Tommy John will join renowned muralist Vincent Perez in an artistic venture that will begin next week in Watertown and on Fort Drum.
The two former players will appear with Perez on Monday at a reception at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant on Arsenal Street, and then on Tuesday at a baseball game and autograph session at Fort Drum. On Tuesday, they will also launch an artistic project, the beginning of an 8-by-12-foot mural, titled “Champions,” which is meant to honor the service and sacrifice of the U.S. Armed Forces.
SignatureArt, a company that helps artists work with celebrities to create joint artistic works to benefit various causes, is raising money for the United Service Organization Fort Drum.
Blue, John and Perez will sign limited edition prints, which will be produced from the original painting and sold.
The Champions mural is the first of other murals expected to be created with the help of other artists and celebrities. The murals will then be shown at various sites throughout the country.
Blue, the American League Cy Young Award winner in 1971 and the first player to start the All-Star Game for both leagues, pitched 17 years in the majors. John played 26 seasons in the majors, mostly notably with the Dodgers and Yankees, and won 288 games. He appeared in Watertown in January.
The Watertown Wizards hit the road for tonight's game against Mohawk Valley in the Perfect Game Baseball League.
