Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby summed it all up when he was asked about the baseball offseason. “People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring,” said Hornsby. Today is a sad day in [...]

Happy Halloween
Posted on 01. Nov, 2009 by Corey.
I can remember as a kid always looking forward to Halloween. I had a chance to dress up and look as stupid or silly as I wanted to, and run around the neighborhood getting free candy from anyone that I asked. Most of it would go stale because I rationed it and waited so long [...]

For the past few years I have been downloading a bunch of podcasts onto my IPod to listen to at the gym, or driving in my car. This process happens daily as I erase the old and bring in the new. Of course, all of the podcasts have to do with sports and mainly all [...]

Just like riding a bike…
Posted on 26. Oct, 2009 by Corey.
When participating in an activity that you haven’t done in years, the old saying goes “it is like riding a bike.” I have always heard that and understood it to mean that you really never forget what you have learned no matter how long it has been since you last used it. That saying could [...]

The other night I was sitting with friends at Skyline Chili trying to enjoy my 4-way with onions and three bowls of oyster crackers with hot sauce when a friend brought up an interesting point for discussion. He wanted to know how we all felt about the locker room celebrations in baseball, as players, coaches [...]

The famous saying that you always hear is that “time heals all wounds.” It is a tough one to realize and understand, but it does usually come true. With this situation I do not feel that will ever be the case. The one moment that is hard to get out of my mind and forget [...]

Although baseball and college basketball are my sports of choice, I have always enjoyed other major sporting events. I may not watch much golf, soccer or tennis during a normal year, but I like flipping on the sports major events like the Masters, World Cup or any Grand Slam Event in tennis. Another interest of [...]

NLDS Game #3; Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles against the St. Louis Cardinals
Posted on 11. Oct, 2009 by Corey.
My return to live Major League Playoff Baseball was everything I thought it would be. The entire day could not have been more perfect all around. Sure, most think I am nuts for driving to and from St. Louis in the same day to see a baseball game, but that is just how I roll. [...]

Back to the Playoffs!!
Posted on 09. Oct, 2009 by Corey.
The last Major League Baseball Playoff Game I attended was in 1995 at Riverfront Stadium. It was game two of the National League Championship Series, and the Atlanta Braves were in town. I remember the game being a great one, heading into the tenth inning tied at two. The Reds trailed one game to nothing [...]

My favorite sport in the world is the wonderful game of baseball. I follow the Major League Baseball season about as closely as anyone can. I watch games of any two franchises on TV, listen to different teams on my XM Radio, and read and study each boxscore to see how players are performing. But [...]
