Today, the Washington Nationals host the Chicago Cubs at Nationals Park in the nation’s capital, Washington D.C. Hosting a day game on Independence Day makes perfect sense for the Nats and I believe they have been assured of regularly having the honor. They should also get Opening day and Memorial Day at home annually too, [...]
Lots of trouble for the New York Yankees right now — Jorge Posada forgets he’s hitting .185 when complained about hitting 9th. He apologized. The team is in a freefall as well, losing 5 in a row and 9 of 12. Getting swept by the Boston Red Sox is no fun either. Had the Yanks [...]

Earlier this week, following the deaths of Bob Shepphard and George Steinbrenner, I had an epiphany — if I hoped to see Yogi Berra at the Yogi Berra Museum, I probably ought to do it soon. I even fired off an email to a friend (a teacher off for the summer)who is also a big [...]
Just days after losing the Voice of God, p.a. announcer Bob Sheppard, the New York Yankees lost their owner, George Steinbrenner. The Boss was felled by a massive heart attack which must have been a surprise to him, because he once said “I’ll never have a heart attack. I give them.” (Deadpsin) I wonder how [...]
Reggie Jackson called Yankee Stadium public address announcer Bob Sheppard the “voice of God.” Mr. October was on to something there, Sheppard’s voice was as big as old Yankee Stadium. Sheppard died at age 99, just three months shy of 100.
