MacAdam: At ValleyCats’ open tryout, ‘opportunity’ defined in many ways | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS Fonda-Fultonville grad Brady Myles delivers a pitch during the Tri-City ValleyCats' open tryout on Friday. Share1 TROY — On the day after Willie Mays turned 90, I was pulled through the main gate at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium — “The Joe” — to “Only the Good Die Young” by Billy Joel over the public address. Like a perfectly executed triple play, the sky, the grass and the dirt each did their best sky-grass-dirt thing, so that 50 ballplayers could do theirs. The Tri-City ValleyCats held an open tryout on Friday morning that was much more “open” than “tryout,” pretty much all but one of the players without much of a shot at actually making spring training, which starts next Thursday.
