On Wednesday night, after presenting my final project for my Sports Law class I found myself at Kilroy’s bar surrounded by my friends and classmates. But my eyes were glued to the TV that was farthest away from my seat – the one with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies game on. All of […]

Live Tweeting the ALCS
I was blessed with the opportunity to head to my home in Milford from my home in Indianapolis for the early in the week games of the American League Championship Series. I had a companion and things got interesting when she wore her Red Sox apparel and I was decked out in blue and orange.

Marty Glickman‘s life was anything but the word he gave to a basketball shot hitting nothing but net: swish.
Enter Sandman. Exit Sandman
It’s the last time that the number 42 will make an appearance in an All-Star Game (ASG). It’s the last year that the number 42 will ever appear in a game. And it’s going to be sad to say goodbye to the player that wears it. Mariano Rivera.

Miguel Cabrera can now be added to the list. 45 years after Yastrzemski did it in 1967, Cabrera has made history. And joined some very elite company. […]
Doug Fister breaks record
There is nothing more exciting than a record breaking game and being in the stands is indescribable. That’s how I felt as I watched Doug Fister, of the Detroit Tigers, pitch 9 consecutive strikeouts in the last home game of the 2012 regular season. Not only was it the last game at home for the […]
The MVP Should Stay in Detroit
[mlbvideo id=”24870137″ width=”400″ height=”224″ /] After today’s performance, it is clear that the MVP award should stay in the city of Detroit. Miguel Cabrera has proved himself over and over as one of the best hitters in Major League Baseball. The man steps up to the plate and I’d cower in fear if I was […]
