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.
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.
An emotional return
I cannot even begin to fathom what the loss of a child feels like. The pain must seem insurmountable, never-ending. The grief must overwhelm your soul. The support of family, friends and teammates is helpful, but it doesn’t seem like enough because they don’t understand. And to go even beyond that, how can a person return […]
Cabrera and a Triple Crown
Until tonight only 10 players since 1920 have won the Triple Crown. Since World War II, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Frank Robinson, Carl Yastrzemski have accomplished this feat.

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 […]
One At Bat
His career ended in his first Major League at-bat. The crazy thing – it wasn’t even official. Why? He was hit with the very first pitch that was thrown at him. Adam Greenberg has an amazing story. He was on the Chicago Cubs roster in 2005. He was asked by Dusty Baker (now manager of […]
The Best Fish in the League
At age 21, the Los Angeles Angels center fielder, Mike Trout is taking Major League Baseball by storm. He performs on the field in ways that surprise analysts and fans alike. Amazing catch after amazing catch seem to be an every day occurrence for this center fielder. But not only can he perform defensively, but […]

A good friend of mine introduced me to an organization named I am Second. And I’m so glad he did. The purpose of I am Second is “to inspire people of all kinds to live for God and for others. Actors. Athletes. Musicians. Business leaders. Drug addicts. Your next door neighbor. People like you.” Each […]
