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
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 […]
Just Say No to the Steroids Era
None of us are perfect. We judge others, yet we know that doing so is wrong. In doing so, we fail to practice what we preach because, as a society, it is generally accepted in the arena of being politically correct that you should never judge others. In addition, judging others is frowned upon in […]
Pearl Harbor Remembrance

After all, as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt would proclaim, it was a date to be lived in “infamy.” Little known to most, FDR was originally […]
Travelers Make our Trips Memorable
When most first-time travelers sign-up to take a baseball tour they do it because they want to see the different stadiums around country and do not want to have to worry about driving, traffic, parking, hotels, etc. Although it’s great to see the county, many of its cities, and ballparks, it’s the people who make these tours so […]
All-Decade Team of the 1980s
This isn’t your ordinary All-Decade Team of the 1980s. That’s too easy. In this 10-year span, we needed eight position players, a starting pitcher, and a closer. Instead of judging players by their body of work during the decade, we chose individual seasons and we could only have one representative per baseball season during this decade, as every year […]
October’s Single Season Best is Hershiser, not Bumgarner
Madison Bumgarner is a good pitcher who has just completed one of the all-time great post-season pitching performances in the history of baseball. The ace of the San Francisco Giants staff threw over 52-innings while going 4-1 with a microscopic 1.03 ERA this past October. He upped his game even more in the World Series by […]
