A well-rounded team requires players with a broad range of skills. We’ve been slowly building this loser for over a year now, and we just realized we don’t have a home-run prone pitcher on the roster. In fact, we don’t even have a pitcher on our roster! In today’s edition
Nasty = Stick With It
With the Mets in the city to play a four-game set with the Giants, earlier this afternoon I went to AT+T Park to hand out fliers for the “Mets Fans in Support of Bryan Stow” Facebook page. I was at the Willie for at least 90 minutes and would have
Remembering Wally Moon
In this post we turn our spotlight on Wally Moon, an outfielder and first baseman who put together a very good, twelve-year career playing for the St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers. Six feet tall, with a slender but muscular build, Moon was a potent weapon who stole bases,
Looking Back At The Break

Rachel’s Spirit & I Visit Comerica Park
Earlier this month I took my niece Rachel’s spirit to Comerica Park, where we saw the Detroit Tigers host the Chicago White Sox. We arrived a few minutes before the game got underway, so a bit of ballpark exploring was conducted. Then it’s off to find some seats just in
Raya + 18th Avenue Park
