They don’t call him the “Flying Gymnast” for nothing. When Epke Zonderland went to perform in the men’s high bar final he proved why that particular nickname was chosen for him. He does something most other gymnasts do not do. He does three major releases in a row, without any moves in between to allow […]

The Most Decorated Olympian
Michael Phelps. There are very few words that can’t describe this man. He’s an amazing swimmer. A true Olympian – with 22 medals to prove it. It is undisputed the career that Phelps has had in the pool. He is like a fish, the water is his home (and I’m still trying to figure out […]
Ryan Lochte Wins First US Gold
I was skeptical of Ryan Lochte’s success in London because of Michael Phelps. Sure Lochte provided Phelps with a large amount of competition at the Olympic trials. Their rivalry was talk of the US leading up to the Olympics. Lochte did put up a convincing performance, but I still wasn’t sure that success would follow […]
And the Olympics are Officially “Open”
I could say that I waited impatiently for this day to come I can say that I absolutely adore the Olympics. I can say that I should have found a way to go to London to be there live – and not watching on TV from my home in Michigan. Tuning into the Opening Ceremonies […]
2012 All-Star Game
The All-Star game was a very large blow-out this year. The American League couldn’t score a run if they tried. A lineup that included some of the league’s best hitters, Prince Fielder, Josh Hamilton, Jose Bautista and even Miguel Cabrera. An all-star (for lack of a better term) pitching staff including the likes of Justin […]
Ordonez Retires
[mlbvideo id=”12602373″ width=”400″ height=”224″ /] This moment is something Detroit Tigers fans will hold onto for years to come (it has been 6 years since it happened). They will store it in their hearts near the feeling of winning the World Series in 1969 and 1984. They will reflect on it with the same love […]
Harvard Baseball
I watched this video and laughed. I watched it again and showed my friends. I watched it a third time and wondered if it could be topped. I watched it a fourth time when I read an article about how it was created. I watched it a fifth time and realized I’d help this video […]
They Don’t Call it March Madness for Nothing
Basketball really isn’t my thing, but I do tune in to watch a few of the games during March Madness. I often cheer for the underdog especially against the big teams (beside Michigan State – I always cheer for them). Yesterday was a really bad day to be a number two seed. Duke – eliminated. […]
Oh I’m a writer.
If you’re writing, you’re a writer. I write. I write a lot. And most of my writing is in my head and you may never read some of it. It took a long time for me to figure out that I was a writer. Sure I picked up crayons and paper when I was younger […]
Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend
There is this saying that “Diamonds are a girls best friend.” Some girls would like diamond jewelry. It’s shiny and pretty and sparkles in the light. That’s not the kind of diamond I want. I want to spend my days on the baseball diamond. It may not be shiny, but occasionally it sparkles in the […]
