On December 6th, the first potential inductees to the Hall of Fame Class of 2017 will be announced. The “Today’s Game” ballot features 10 baseball luminaries who are up for consideration for induction into Cooperstown. Unlike the more well known voting for players only (from the baseball writers), this modern version of the “Veteran’s Committee” […]
Well, I would like to introduce my mouth to a crow because I need to eat some. Donald J. Trump, billionaire real estate mogul, reality TV star and political novice, in his first foray into politics, will be the President of the United States. For months Trump told us that the polls were wrong, that […]
Last night, 40 million viewers were riveted by one of the most exciting World Series games of all times as the Chicago Cubs erased 108 years of disappointment by winning their first World Championship since 1908 in a thrilling 10-inning victory over the Cleveland Indians, who were trying to erase a 68-year drought of their […]
This weekend in San Francisco, the world’s longest broadcasting career will come to a close. The Giants, in their pursuit of a wild card playoff berth, will host the Los Angeles Dodgers. These will be the final three games of the regular season for the Giants and Dodgers and the final three games for one […]
During the Sunday Night Football contest tonight, most of the sporting world learned that golfing legend Arnold Palmer passed away today at the age of 87. Palmer, affectionately known as “The King” of professional golf, was a fabulous golfer and one of the greatest ambassadors any sport could have. The humble son of a greenskeeper […]
Today on the west coast of Scotland, at the Royal Troon Golf Club, a course originally founded in 1878 hosted one of the greatest one-on-one duels in the history of major championship golf. With a final round of 63 (which included a record-tying 10 birdies with two bogies), 40-year old Henrik Stenson outlasted World Golf […]
It’s been less than a week since the Orlando night club massacre. Unlike our politicians, I’m not one to instantly politicize tragedies like this but I feel it’s now appropriate to share some deep feelings I have about the issues it’s created. Most mass shootings always spark an outcry that goes nowhere for increased gun control. […]
Now that the two major party nominees have officially accumulated the requisite number of delegates to secure their party’s nomination, I’d like to look forward. How do we improve the nominating process to give us better candidates in the future. Realizing that many reading this do believe that Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton are great […]
Every once in a while, the universe gives you a mulligan. It could be a second ball off the first hole, a second chance at the “one who got away,” or a second run at the presidency (see Hillary Clinton). This is not a political piece. It’s a reflection on one of the greatest golf […]
On Wednesday afternoon, my favorite moment of the baseball off-season will occur: the announcement of the Class of 2016, the new inductees into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. After two terrific classes of Hall of Famers (seven deserving players elected in the past two years), this year’s class will likely be smaller, […]
