Thielen Coaches are the Best!

August 2, 2025 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 […]

Kenny Easley for NFL Hall of Fame

January 30, 2015 by Bob

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

January 2, 2015 by Bob

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

December 7, 2014 by Bob

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor. We all know, or should know, the basic facts of this historic day exactly 73 years ago. 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 […]
