Tucci Takes Swing at Making Bats Tucci Takes Swing at Making Bats Tucci Takes Swing at Making Bats
Tucci Takes Swing at Making Bats During his six years in professional baseball, Pete Tucci Jr. tinkered constantly with his bats. “If there was something off on it, I would go to the hardware store and make it like I wanted,’’ said Tucci, a first-round draft pick of the Toronto Blue Jays in 1996.

Inactivity Doesn't Sit Well with Kuchta Inactivity Doesn't Sit Well with Kuchta Inactivity Doesn't Sit Well with Kuchta

Unfortunately for Kuchta, slapping backs, pounding fists and screaming her lungs out is the only way to support her lacrosse teammates these days. Kuchta, who graduated from Brien McMahon High School, broke her left fibula during an ice hockey game against Holy Cross on Jan. 29.  Her leg was in a cast for six weeks, and her muscles weakened. She is rehabilitating the leg now. Kuchta, who also plays field hockey for the Pilgrims, chomps mightily on the bullet fr…

Houston Message Inspiring at YMCA Visit “She seems so excited about this,’’ Allan Houston said Saturday at the Norwalk YMCA as Kern Jordan’s 3-year-old daughter, Cassiah, wiggled, fidgeted and giggled while her father tried unsuccessfully to keep her quiet.

Houston talked of faith, responsibility and leadership to about 250 people on the YMCA basketball court. Kern Jordan, who has spent his entire life in Norwalk and works for the Norwalk Board of Education, found Houston inspiring. “I thought …
