Thielen Coaches are the Best!

October 6, 2024 by Bob

Everyone has heard the saying, “bigger is better.” This can pertain to having a bigger house, working for a bigger company, a job that pays better, living in a bigger city with more arts and recreational opportunities, and the list can go on and on. The older I get, the more I continue to be […]

If you’re here because of the FS1 Kenny Easley story…

December 19, 2017 by Bob

Thank you for visiting our website. And, yes, Kenny Easley is the biggest reason I became a Seahawks fan over 30 years ago. From the autograph he sent to me as a youngster to being invited to his Hall of Fame party, this has been an incredible experience. It’s funny, because if he had passed […]

Impact of Sports in American History

January 12, 2017 by Bob

I love sports. Growing up in the Eighties, I intensely followed football, baseball, basketball, hockey, men’s and women’s tennis and the Olympics. I could keep going but you get the idea. Little did I know, sports taught more than I ever envisioned in all aspects of life. I remember elementary math class and being ahead […]

All-Time MLB Team

November 16, 2016 by Bob

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 […]

Dale Murphy Song: Another Item Crossed Off Bucket List

October 14, 2015 by Bob

Everyone has a bucket list of things we would like to do and places we would like to see before our inevitable expiration date. I have been fortunate that 13 years ago I started a company called Bob’s Baseball Tours. It has allowed the opportunity to see a baseball game at every Major League Baseball park […]

The Glory Days of Baseball – Father’s Day Edition

June 20, 2015 by Bob

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

June 17, 2015 by Bob

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 […]

Improving Major League Baseball

April 10, 2015 by Bob

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

March 21, 2015 by Bob

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 […]
