By rarely, I mean extremely rarely! My Texas Rangers are on a hot streak right now! I'm going to bask in it until the All-Star break when they usually fall apart. But right now..Josh Hamilton is tearing it up! He's made watching Ranger baseball fun again.
Getting Ready For Summer!
You know winter is over when you can throw on some shorts after your day job, run to the Houlton Community Park and climb on a bleacher to watch an exciting little league game. The parents are great and not matter how tired you might have been that day because … (1 comments)
Former White Sox starting pitcher, Jon Garland, will battle the only team he ever saw major league action on tomorrow night (5/15) as the White Sox are in Anaheim to battle the Angels. The game will begin at 9:00 Chicago time and be carried on AM 670 as always and Comcast … (1 comments)
Sometimes you can be as prepared as you want, but being in the right place at the right time really helps.
After 46 long years starting with my first game in 1962 (Giants vs the
Colt 45's) I finally caught a foul ball 2 weeks ago. (Rockies vs Giants) April
28th off of Ray Durham. 
The Atlanta Braves enjoy the confines of Turner Field this year. This is something that they could not say last year. Currently leading the majors with a 14 - 4 home stand record, the Atlanta Braves could be enjoying success if they could just figure out how to win on the … (8 comments)

Hi Everyone,
Been busy here with business and personal issues going on. Flu, moving daughters (in/out), working business leads and trying to keep up with friends, families et al! Whew! Time has flown by!
Here's the scoop on the St. Louis area (& surrounding counties) as I see it.
Business is … (0 comments)
Seems like the foreclosure "bug" is even hitting the wealthy. Jose Canseco admitted today that he owes $2.5M on his California mansion and that, in his words, "it didn't make financial sense for me to keep paying a mortgage on a home that was basically owned by someone else." 
The man made famous first for hitting home runs, partying and steroids is now the most famous victim of foreclosure. When he played baseball he was known for a powerful physique and swing. His excess was legendary. Most recently, he is the man that brought the scandal of steroids to the … (3 comments)
I stopped by the construction site today and snapped a few action photos. They really are doing some work. I really think this will be a boon to the community, to tourism, to property values. I am a little bit concerned about traffic, but I suppose you have to give a … (0 comments)
What is your favorite kind of baseball to watch? 
I am soooo excited! I love chicken any way you cook it! Searcy, Arkansas is getting a Zaxby's, they have already started on the ground work! Have you ever eaten Zaxby's chicken? It is the best and very reasonable!
For those of you who thought the Arizona Diamondbacks were a "fluke" or "lucky" last year to win the NL West, take a look at the standings as of today. An 18-7 record leads the league and they aren't stopping there. If you want to see great pitching, timely hitting, power … (6 comments)
As I write this blog, many ideas are running through my mind. Social gatherings are so beneficial, as well as, fun. I have hosted afternoon teas, minor league baseball games, spring dances, a five mile walk to raise community awareness and donations for the March of Dimes and always participate in the Walk for … (7 comments)
So who has gone the longest without winning a World Series???
Several years after the blue house and the babe ruth field, I found myself living on the third floor of a high-rise in SW Portland. When I toured the unit, I was awed by the views of Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens and Mt Adams. As a matter of fact, I … (2 comments)
I'll be the first one to admit that I am not a work-a-holic. Oh, don't get me wrong - if you poll the people in my office, or if you ask my family, they'll tell you that I'm the guy who is up on the computer at midnight sending emails, or … (4 comments)
April 19, 2008...opening day ceremonies at Douglassville Youth Baseball Association...each child is honored, each coach, each sponsor, each volunteer, each family...beginning with a locally sung version of the National Anthem, and closing with a locally sung version of America The Beautiful!
We are waiting here in the southeast's Lowcountry, somewhat patiently, for the great migration of baby boomers that is supposed to happen, well, now. As a baby boomer myself, in a slow market, I often reflect on the 50's. In fact, only last week a friend got me thinking when he … (0 comments)
It finally looks like spring has sprung. There are kids on the streets playing in the yard, There are bright sunny days (almost in the 60's now), tulips and flowers are a blooming! Baseball fever has started with the Major Leage Baseball season underway. You got to love this time of … (6 comments)
Being a Sox fan, I have to admit I'm a little nervous about tonight's game. Clay Buckholz starting the series? It'll either be an awesome, dominating win- or his nerves will get the better of him, and he'll be out of there in two innings. 
So today is April 8, 2008. No big deal, right?
It’s baseball time! I love baseball, especially sitting in the stands. Just being there with people all around you. Families, college kids, the mature crowds, all walks of life, laughing and happy to be there! Of course the hot dogs and cold sodas must be had at a ballgame. I went … (0 comments)
One of the questions I frequently get from people out of state is: "What sports teams do people follow?"
I'm sure as most of you would agree, I'm SO ready for Spring!! Long days, sunshine, blue skies, green grass, flowers blooming, and a sure sign of spring................... Rockies Home Opener! The Rocks play against the Arizona Diamondbacks today at Coors Field. Game time is 2:05! Let's see if the Rocks can pull it … (2 comments)
OK, if you have been following my videos you know I got a big spring thing going on. Well here is another one. 
Living in Tacoma is great! This time of year our weather starts to turn towards being warmer (ok not that warm) It's light out later.....(ok not that late) and it is time for Baseball! 
The Toledo Mud Hens are getting ready for opening day! Our beloved "Hens" will pack the ball park at Fifth Third Field. It never fails on opening day - there won't be standing room left! 
If you don't believe in the cycles of Real Estate anymore, at least believe in the cycles of life and the cycles of sports. Next up on deck, the little hardball game of
I was not a good baseball player as a kid. I slowly came into my own in high school. I played a solid second base. I was no hoover out there, but I was a good back stop. I was never afraid to sacrifice my body. 
Mariners Baseball Opening Day 
The season opener for Colorado's Major League Baseball franchise is tomorrow! It seems like only yesterday the whole Rocky Mountain Region was going CRAZY over the Rockies spectacular season ending performance.
I was watching the news this morning. A story came on regarding a Little League treasurer stealing $62,000 over the course of 3 years. He was being sentenced today. I didn't think too much more about it until a few minutes ago.
Beginning this year our brokerage, Coldwell Banker Heritage Real Estate, will be proud sponsors of the new Philadelphia Phillies Triple A affiliate minor league baseball team, The Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs!
The New York Yankees showed a lot of class, sensitivity and humility as they visited the Virginia Tech campus this week. The team made a $1,000,000 donation to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund last year. 
I don't see the DH going away even though I hate it, I think it should be in both N.L and A.L or eliminted entirely. But like I said I don't think that will happen. My suggestion is since we have inter-league play, I think it would be a big shot … (3 comments)
Sunday March 16th is Picture Day at Diamond Bar Little League Field. Check with your coach for your designated time of your team photo. Come dressed in full uniform. … (2 comments)

It is done on an alphabetical and birthdate basis. After Saturday the coaches will decide what team the kids will … (0 comments)
Being a huge baseball fan I always get excited this time of year. Living in Arizona makes it that much better, since the majority of the big league clubs now come to Arizona for Spring Training.
I just posted the schedule for Auburn University Baseball's 2008 season. It brought up a memory that I'd like to share. He's 6 now, but when my son, Landon was slightly over a year old, I took him to his first baseball game. Now, I'm not an idiot. I know that … (0 comments)
Jupiter, Florida has an area called Abacoa which houses the Spring training facilities for the Florida Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals. Yesterday (Sunday) was another picture perfect day in South Florida for this time of the year. I was able to take my son (6) along with my Father and Uncle to … (12 comments)
Baseball and softball sign up-ups are:
The vintage base ball club I play for, The Elizabeth Athletic Club, is getting ready to start it's Spring Season. Based out of Elizabeth, NJ, we get the opportunity to play other Vintage Clubs up and down the East Coast from Elkton MD up to Providence, RI. Our players range in age from … (10 comments)
Not quite a week in and there is a lot of positive feelings flowing throught the Oakland A's spring training camp. Most everyone who will check in have checked in, pitchers are working off the mound, and Bob Geren is hopefully learning all the names of his newbies. Some of the … (6 comments)
The Historic Durham Athletic Park is undergoing renovation, and the City of Durham, NC wants your help to ensure that the rehabilitation is accurate in detail.

I just commented on a post and wrote a few names of old players on a particular team in the National League east known as the Atlanta Braves. As I typed the names, the thought of all the great names throughout the entire league over all the years I've followed the … (4 comments)
Well, the forms came this week, and I had to tell my 6 year old son that he may not be able to be on the Red Sox again. Last year was his first year playing little league t-ball and he was on the Red Sox. I think it made him … (11 comments)
I awoke this morning, a chilly morning at that, and opened my morning paper and went right to the sports page. Yes, I admit, I go to the sports page first - especially on Sunday. What a welcome surprise - the headline read
Virginia Beach is poised to have a training facility and clinic backed by some major league ballplayers (B. J. Upton, Justin Upton, Tim Hummel and Michael Cuddyer) soon. City Council is set to sell 10 acres off Landstown Rd to 7 Cities Development Company. The company wants to open a clinic … (0 comments)
Chicago Cubs Spring Training
Baseball. Quite an interesting game. When you really think about it, it is quite a bit like real estate. Let me give you a play by play commentary.
It is my personal opinion that steroids or some other sort of enhancer is being used by professional athletes. Personal opinion aside I will give you all some inside facts. I played minor league ball for Cincinnati and there were plenty of headline stories then as I am sure there are now.

Leesburg High School Varsity Baseball Schedule

Football ended Sunday with the culmination of the Giants winning the Superbowl.

Spring training is in progress, and when the Milwaukee Brewers take town Americas favorite pastime will be playing baseball in a new, high tech Miller Stadium. The pretzels are being loaded, the cotton candy, the nachos, hamburgers, soda, popcorn, and lots … (12 comments)
I was raised up on the basic, absolute rule that here are three outs required to retire a side in baseball, which in my mind means at most three strikeouts are possible per half-inning. However baseball, as in life, has exceptions to the rules. For example, less thas three outs in a half-inning is possible if it's the bottom of … (1 comments)
On January 8th it was my distinct pleasure to announce the first contest for Baseball Talk 101! This contest was inspired by and her blog Take Me Out To The Ballgame!
