My two favorite sports to follow are football and baseball. Although I don’t have a favorite baseball team anymore, I do still have an affinity for the football team I began cheering for at a 10-year old in 1983 – the Seattle Seahawks. The current holdout of Pro Bowl strong safety Kam Chancellor has raised […]
Expos to Return to Montreal?
The final tour of our baseball season ended one week ago today. As usual, it was a great group and the trip created many lasting memories such as my having to “lift up the hatch” at Citi Field and the interesting people that some of our travelers took pictures with at Times Square. However, the […]
The Glory Days of Baseball – Father’s Day Edition
Today is Father’s Day and it’s a time for many of us to give thanks to Dad. For some of us, it is a time to reflect on being a fatherly role model to our children and to give thanks to our own Dad. The image of a Dad, to me, represents the male role model […]
Fun on Tour #1
The first tour of the summer has come and gone. It was a quick trip to Chicago where we spent all three nights in the same hotel in the suburbs. It was especially memorable because it marked the first time in 12 years that I was able to bring one of my two children with […]
Alex Rodriguez and Willie Mays
Alex Rodriguez recently hit home run number 660, which tied Willie Mays for fourth on the all-time list. He will most likely hit another and leave Mays behind in the coming days. As Mays said in a recent statement to congratulate Rodriguez, “Milestones in baseball are meant to be broken and I wish him continued […]
Dale Murphy Fans’ Facebook Fraud
I started a community Facebook page last fall called, “Dale Murphy for Hall of Fame.” It has recently been hacked. The purpose of the page was to promote awareness as to why Dale Murphy should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. As you can see on our website, we have a […]
Improving Major League Baseball
I love Major League Baseball and am thankful we are in the midst of the first week of the season. We won’t be without the game again for over six months. For those of us with the MLB Extra-Innings Package, it means another season to enjoy listening to Vin Scully or flipping channels to watch a Mike Trout […]
Ranking MLB Parks
Before I begin ranking the ball parks, I would like to make it clear that these are only my personal rankings. I do not claim to speak for anyone else or any of you. I also reserve the right to change my mind year after year. For example, the first time I attended a game […]
All-Time MLB Team
Since 1900, there have been 11 full decades. If we do the math, that’s eight position players, a designated hitter, starting pitcher and a closer. This equals 11 players for our All-Time MLB Team. However, there’s a catch. Each decade can only have one representative and the said player must have ranked to be among […]
Kenny Easley for NFL Hall of Fame
I have written an article that will be published on the Seahawks Insider Blog. Like my Dale Murphy for Hall of Fame campaign in Major League Baseball, I have written about why my favorite football player of all-time, Kenny Easley, should be in the NFL Hall of Fame. I hope you enjoy: The Seattle Seahawks […]
