I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

Even if you never watched the first iteration of Dallas but were old enough, the “Who shot JR?” plot probably resonates with you as ultra-hype fabricated by the media. If you’ve stuck your nose in the national sports news over the past few weeks, you’ve probably read about Carlos Correa and his free agent deals…

Congratulations to Chicago native and former play by play voice of the Kane County Cougars, Wayne Randazzo on being named the new PBP voice of the Anaheim Angels television broadcasts. Most recently, he handled PBP for the Mets on both radio and television. He also handled Friday night games on Apple TV.

Growing up I knew not of the road trip. We didn’t have a station wagon and Dad wasn’t crazy about long drives. I do know that some of the better road trips friends and relatives went on were serendipitous at least as far as the passengers were concerned. Having spoken with enough people on the…

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.…

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…

Initially, I thought I’d be able to post as some sort of distraction, but out of respect for Mr. Hamlin, I’m going to hold off for a day or so. Thankfully, the media has been equally respectful.

When you are in college, your schools on-field success is often as important as maintaining one’s grades. 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…
