I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

A few years back, I had the good fortune to meet S Preston and become acquainted with his fabulous artwork. His minimalist art is both affordable and unique. His work is on display at the Baseball HOF in Cooperstown and can be seen in ballparks and arenas around the country. He’s also jumped into the…

So long as the Cubs medical staff/experts aren’t the same folks handling the Carlos Correa situation, I couldn’t be happier that the Cubs signed Eric Hosmer to a one-year deal. I’m neither big enough nor clever enough to engage in click bait posting. That doesn’t mean I won’t react to it and write about it.…

Earlier today the guys on MLB Network were talking about the 6oth anniversary of the erection of the Astrodome and the MLB Presents on the subject. Unfortunately, their information wasn’t very good and I had to shift to youtube to watch a segment. Heading down that particular rabbit hole got me to thinking of historic…

I don’t know if the White Sox got some sort of tax break when they officially signed Andrew Benintendi to the richest free agent contract in team history, but I’m glad they got it done. Since they didn’t offer an explanation for the delay, I can only guess on the first, or bet it was…

Even if you aren’t that connected to all the noise on football Sundays or midweek basketball games, you might enjoy when your classmates have success. At some schools the conference rivalries or city/state interactions are so intense that…

Every season I try and take a look from afar at the stories excited me the most. More often than not only a few will be the stories that MLB are trying to sell to the national audience. More importantly, I like to reflect on the games and players that I saw in person. No…

Parade Magazine has started with the commemorating, in this case 1973. While I won’t worry about their particular take on the year, I do like to guess what different ML teams will be doing to recognize teams and players this year. Fifty years ago, the Oakland A’s were in the middle of their 3-year dynasty…

Wishing everyone and your families a Happy, Healthy and Safe 2023 with lots of baseball. Thanks for visiting!

The obvious choices for the Cardinals would be Paul Goldschmidt finally winning an MVP but falling short in each of the triple crown prongs. Some people think their ever-changing rookie class is a big deal or their mini-playoff excursion. The most compelling story in St. Louis always was the finales for Albert Pujols and Yadier…
