With two debates completed and less than 6 months until the Iowa caucuses officially kick off the primary season, I pose the following question: is former Vice-President Joe Biden the Democratic party’s best choice to be their nominee and take on President Trump? The Democrats have a field of 24 candidates for President, probably the […]
Today House Republicans approved a massive overhaul of America’s tax code and all that’s needed to make it the law of the land is a signature from President Trump. The bill, which lowers tax rates for corporations from 35% to 21% and lowers income tax rates across the board for American citizens, is the most […]
A fortnight ago, I had the privilege of completing the “career grand slam” of golf attendance when I traveled across the pond and spent three days at The Open at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England.

For the last seven, […]

Today also serves as the one-month milepost in the administration of Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States. The first month of the […]
With Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines, and Ivan Rodriguez heading to the Hall of Fame, let’s take a look ahead to 2018. Former Padres ace closer Trevor Hoffman got 74.0% of this year’s vote and former Expos and Angels slugger Vladimir Guerrero netted 71.7%, so it’s very likely that there will be at least three players […]
A little over two weeks ago, the Baseball Writers Association of America elected three new members to the Hall of Fame. Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell and Ivan Rodriguez will join Cooperstown’s inclusive club of baseball legends when they are inducted this summer. So, after the Hall of Fame shutout of 2013, the collective body of […]
On Wednesday afternoon, my favorite moment of the baseball off-season will occur: the announcement of the Class of 2017, the new inductees into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
