This morning, June 8, I would like to start off by wishing my youngest son Harrison a very Happy Birthday. Harrison still loves baseball and is quite the statistician when it comes to the modern game. Plus, he loves fishing which bears the reference to the great Ted Williams, who loved both baseball and fishing.…

2025 has been a strange year weather wise. Heavy rains and massive storms stretch from Texas to Virginia some weeks. The result, baseball wise, is a ton of cancelled/postponed/shortened games. In the pockets of good, playable weather, we did have some summer collegiate and amateur baseball (SCABL) games last night. Here are the SCABL teams…

A Wintry Walk Around Williamsburg, William & Mary’s Plumeri Baseball Park
Saturday afternoon, after being mostly sick for 2 straight weeks, Rachel and I ventured out of Virginia Beach for a day-cation adventure in nearby Williamsburg, VA.

How Much Is My 1980 Carl Yaz Baseball Card Worth?
Well, if you ask me, priceless. Carl Yastrzemski is/was/will always be my favorite player. Boston Red Sox rookie, took over in LF for Ted Williams, played his entire career in Boston, that classic Yaz snarl at every public event post playing career, left handed power, hustle, I could go on and on. I have several…

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night to my Baseball experiences in 2024
2024 was a year of wonderful baseball experiences I will never forget. I traveled as far was as Tacoma, Washington. Took in a Rainiers game with Mount Rainier in the background.

A Tuesday Afternoon Visit to Blair Field, Home of the Cal State Long Beach Dirtbags
On a recent trip to California for ABF Freight, I mapped out several baseball experiences within a 30 mile radius of my hotel. Now, 30 miles in LA or Orange County does not always equate to 30 minutes of travel, so if you are planning trips in CA keep that in mind. One particular experience,…

The Meteorological Seasonal Calendar Vs The Baseball Experience Calendar
I was watching the evening news last night here in Hampton Roads and there was an interesting weather term tossed out.

1, 4, 8, 42 – The 411 On Retired Numbers At MLB Baseball Parks
This past Saturday, August 24th, Barry Bonds was elected into the Hall of Fame… of the Pittsburgh Pirates. During his first seven seasons, (in my opinion) should Bonds have only played those seasons, he would have garnered strong consideration for the more notable Hall of Fame located in Cooperstown, New York – The National Baseball…
