Came across this earlier today. One year ago, Billy Crystal signed a one day contract to live out a boyhood dream, to play for the Yankees.  Billy got a foul ball, ran the count to 3-1, before striking out on to fastballs. Baseball fans should be so lucky to do this.

…The blog “MIKE on the CARDS” .

This die-hard Redbird fan is located in Florida, where he is keeping tabs on Spring Training.

Check out his latest entry “Camp Tidbits” .

Many of Redbird fans in St. Louis and across the country would benefit to keep tabs on this guy.

KEEP IT UP, MIKE!!!!!

It is bad enough that I have to read and listen about Barry Bonds
and his and his unsealed documents, Manny-being-Manny, and Oliver
Perez getting $36 million. Now I have to hear and listen about Joe
Torre’s book. What is it this time…”Roger Clemens might have had
‘Roid Rage. GEEZ!

“I didn’t necessarily tie the two together,” Torre said. “But in retrospect with everything that’s going on, it could very well have been.”

You think?

What do YOU think? Is there too much negative news with spring training and the WBS just around the corner?

I am a thirtysomething year-old guy from the mid-west. I am happily married with three kids, and have always been in love with the game of baseball. I played all the way through school, have played in some men’s baseball leagues, and every so often, I still wonder what it would be like to be at bat, 7th game of World Series, 2 out, bottom of the ninth, down by three, bases loaded…well, you know the fantasy.

I also like talking about baseball…from little league all the way to major leagues. However, it is hard to find hard-core baseball fans that like to do the same. Most of my family/friends/talk shows that I have access to, would rather talk football, basketball, golf, NASCAR. The other sports that I just mentioned, I have no problem discussing them. I enjoy all of them.

But baseball is my first sports love, and this is what the creation of this blog is about.

Given that we are in the “Hot Stove” league of the year, all subjects are open. Just a few rules…

1) NO NAME CALLING!!! ie “you suck, you are an idiot”.

If you want to leave lame comments like that, take to the comments page after every article that you read on major sports websites. Telling me that you strongly disagree with a comment/view/subject matter is MORE THAN WELCOME, but no “spitting contests.”

2) All ages groups are welcomed and ENCOURAGED!!!!!!!!!

I will be bringing up topics in the future that will only be worthwhile to read with feedback from all generations!!!

3) Gotta love the game.

THAT’S IT!!!
