MLB Hot Stove Early Thoughts

By Josh: I truly enjoy the baseball season. Most of my favorite things can be found during the baseball season; favorite food: stadium hamburgers, favorite sound: a glove popping when catching a fastball, favorite type of day: warm summer day.

Opening Ceremonies

By Josh: Tonight ten teams from across the nation will be standing on Story Field in Longview, WA celebrating the start of the 13-15 year old Babe Ruth World Series. For many of the players on each of the ten teams this is the biggest accomplishment that they have ever had or will ever have…

A Lifetime Of Memories

By Josh: Here we are the middle of August, still two months from the World Series, but playoff baseball is going on all across the country from Little League up through the College wood bat leagues.
