College sports | new collegiate summer baseball league with bethlehem, quakertown teams is set to make its debut saturday.

During his time with the Allentown Railers in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League, Dando’s teams won league titles four times in a five-year span. But the pandemic shuttered the league in 2020 and the Allentown team never returned.

But on Saturday, Dando will unveil a brand new team called Southside in the new East Coast Collegiate Baseball League.

The team will play at the Southside Little League complex under I-78, not far from Lehigh University’s Goodman campus. An opening-day doubleheader begins at 1 p.m. against the Mercer County Mammoths.

Other teams in the league include the Quakertown Blazers, Pocono Timber Rattlers, Trenton Capitals, Trenton Generals, South Jersey Kings and the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Miners. The Timber Rattlers will play their home games at East Stroudsburg University and the Miners will play at Wilkes University.

Each team will play a 36-game game schedule through July 20 that will be followed by a double-elimination tournament.

“During the time frame between 2020 and now there were a lot of changes in the ACBL and one of the biggest was the passing of Tom Bonekemper, who was the league president for many years,” Dando said. “After we lost Tom, the ACBL’s leadership was primarily in New Jersey and it became a Jersey-centric league with some teams in New York, too, which made sense for them.”

Dando said he was approached in the past year by people who wanted to re-establish a league for teams in Eastern Pennsylvania.

“I knew that Quakertown would be interested,” Dando said. “And then I talked to some teams from the Trenton area, teams that had been in the ACBL and I always thought there should be a Pennsylvania/New Jersey league because there’s a lot of really good players in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area and in the Poconos. The premise is that it’s pretty much like the ACBL was when I first got in the league about 15 years ago. Six of the eight teams had been in the ACBL before.”

Dando said there has already been some interest expressed from teams joining the league next year, but his focus is on this year and what should be a quality Southside team.

“Everybody is calling us the Southside Railers except me,” he said. “They can be called the Railers when they win four championships in five years. To me, you’ve got to earn that name.”

Dando has assembled a quality team with some local flavor. Jake Dally, The Morning Call’s offensive player of the year in 2023, will be playing for Southside. He’s coming off his freshman year at Binghamton. Former Liberty High standout JC Spinosa, who played this past spring at Canisius, is also on the Southside roster.

“It’s going to be good baseball; similar to what we saw for years in the ACBL,” Dando said. “What’s good about this league is that it’s filled with guys who have been running teams in these college leagues for awhile. There’s two components to running a team like that and one is can you manage a team on the field and can you go out and attract players. Many of the teams that have come over from the ACBL have proven they can do that. If you look at the last eight years or so of the ACBL, we’ve got a lot of teams that won championships. It’s great to have teams in a new league that know how to do things right and have had past success.”

Elite Championship Travel Baseball Holdings announced the formation of the league last September.

In the release announcing the league, Dominic Albanese, the director of baseball for ECTB Holdings said he’d be the league president and said: “I’ve had the benefit of meeting and getting to know some incredible coaches and managers. When we saw an opportunity to partner with some of these guys, I immediately knew that it would be a great opportunity to put together a high-quality collegiate league that will focus on the development and integrity that the game of baseball and our players deserve.”

Among the league rules is that only college student-athletes may play in the ECCBL with no team having more than four current players from the same collegiate program as per NCAA rules. Players must have completed the spring college semester or been a full-time high school student preceding the ECCBL season and must have remaining college eligibility.

The ACBL is continuing on with 14 New Jersey and New York based members. That league began in 1966. In addition to the Railers and the Blazers, the ACBL once included the Allentown Wings, Kutztown Rockies and Lehigh Valley Catz. The Wings won five league titles from 1978 to 1983 and then moved to Quakertown where the Blazers won championships in 1986, ’87, ’93, 2005 and ’18.

Quakertown will play its home opener at 7 p.m. Wednesday against Scranton/Wilkes Barre.

The Best Books of the Year (So Far)

Fiction | Nonfiction

We’re almost halfway through 2024 and we at The Book Review have already written about hundreds of books. Some of those titles are good. Some are very good. And then there are the following.

We suspect that some (though certainly not all) will be top of mind when we publish our end-of-year, best-of lists. For more thoughts on what to read next, head to our book recommendation page .

James , by Percival Everett

In this reworking of the “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” Jim, the enslaved man who accompanies Huck down the Mississippi River, is the narrator, and he recounts the classic tale in a language that is his own, with surprising details that reveal a far more resourceful, cunning and powerful character than we knew.

Local bookstores | Barnes and Noble | Amazon

Good Material , by Dolly Alderton

Alderton’s novel, about a 35-year-old struggling to make sense of a breakup, delivers the most delightful aspects of romantic comedy — snappy dialogue, realistic relationship dynamics, funny meet-cutes and misunderstandings — and leaves behind clichéd gender roles and the traditional marriage plot.

Martyr! , by Kaveh Akbar

A young Iranian American aspiring poet and recovering addict grieves his parents’ deaths while fantasizing about his own in Akbar’s remarkable first novel, which, haunted by death, also teems with life — in the inventive beauty of its sentences, the vividness of its characters and the surprising twists of its plot.

The Hunter , by Tana French

For Tana French fans, every one of the thriller writer’s twisty, ingenious books is an event. This one, a sequel to “The Searcher,” once again sees the retired Chicago cop Cal Hooper, a perennial outsider in the Irish west-country hamlet of Ardnakelty, caught up in the crimes — seen and unseen — that eat at the seemingly picturesque village.

Wandering Stars , by Tommy Orange

This follow-up to Orange’s debut, “There There,” is part prequel and part sequel; it trails the young survivor of a 19th-century massacre of Native Americans, chronicling not just his harsh fate but those of his descendants. In its second half, the novel enters 21st-century Oakland, following the family in the aftermath of a shooting.

Headshot , by Rita Bullwinkel

Set at a women’s boxing tournament in Reno, Nev., this novel centers on eight contestants, and the fights — physical and emotional — they bring to the ring. As our critic wrote: This story’s impact “lasts a long time, like a sharp fist to your shoulder.”

Beautyland , by Marie-Helene Bertino

In 1970s Philadelphia, an alien girl sent to Earth before she’s born communicates with her fellow life-forms via fax as she helps gather intel about whether our planet is habitable. This funny-sad novel follows the girl and her single mother as they find the means to persevere.

Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder , by Salman Rushdie

In his candid, plain-spoken and gripping new memoir, Rushdie recalls the attempted assassination he survived in 2022 during a presentation about keeping the world’s writers safe from harm. His attacker had piranhic energy. He also had a knife. Rushdie lost an eye, but he has slowly recovered thanks to the attentive care of doctors and the wife he celebrates here.

Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here: The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis , by Jonathan Blitzer

This urgent and propulsive account of Latin American politics and immigration makes a persuasive case for a direct line from U.S. foreign policy in Central America to the current migrant crisis.

The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook , by Hampton Sides

By the time he made his third Pacific voyage, the British explorer James Cook had maybe begun to lose it a little. The scientific aims of his first two trips had shifted into something darker. According to our reviewer, the historian Hampton Sides “isn’t just interested in retelling an adventure tale. He also wants to present it from a 21st-century point of view. ‘The Wide Wide Sea’ fits neatly into a growing genre that includes David Grann’s ‘ The Wager ’ and Candice Millard’s ‘ River of the Gods ,’ in which famous expeditions, once told as swashbuckling stories of adventure, are recast within the tragic history of colonialism .”

The Rebel’s Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon , by Adam Shatz

This absorbing biography of the Black psychiatrist, writer and revolutionary Frantz Fanon highlights a side of him that’s often eclipsed by his image as a zealous partisan — that of the caring doctor, who ran a secret clinic for Algerian rebels.

Fi: A Memoir , by Alexandra Fuller

In her fifth memoir, Fuller describes the sudden death of her 21-year-old son. Devastating as this elegant and honest account may be — it’s certainly not for the faint of heart — it also leaves the reader with a sense of having known a lovely and lively young man.
