It is always sad to see the season
end. I love watching the playoffs/World Series and wish
they continued all winter. I would not mind if they shortened the regular season and had an extended playoff system, either. Otherwise, here are some random thoughts about this year’s World Series. ...

With all due respect to the Philadelphia Phillies
and grudging respect to the New York Yankees, the
2009 World Series hasn’t exactly been one for the ages. Don’t get me wrong, I commend both teams for their efforts, but the ‘09 Fall Classic had me scouring my copy of Total ...

First off, congratulations to the Yankees. I’m not
a Yankee hater, due to their tradition mainly. I’m
not big on the fact that they spent so much and won, but when you look at how often they spent a ton and lost, you can see that’s not completely the reasoning. Besides, ...

You may recall my previous post about being

when I was chosen in the 16th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers. To celebrate Dodger Blue, I went out and spent my whole bonus on a shiny, metallic “Green” Buick Century? Upon signing, the Dodger brass told ...

to admit, I followed pro wrestling. One of my favorite wrestlers was the bad guy and heavy weight champ Ric Flair. Flair would hold up his championship belt and yell, “To be the man, you have to beat the ...
