Gram,

I am glad to hear that your Africa was a success! I cannot wait to hear all the stories and see the many pictures that go along with them.

College is off to a great start! Between going to class, playing baseball, and studying my free time has been very minimal. The good news is Fall break starts next Thursday October, 13 and runs through Sunday, October 16th. As of now the unofficial plan(unless other wise changed to to baseball) is for me to make the trip back to Kansas City Wednesday night after classes and practice ends, and then for me to stay the weekend. Hopefully I will be able to follow through with this plan, but if not we will have to work something out.

Baseball practices, games, and scrimmages have made time management

It’s the third oldest ballpark behind Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, but Dodger Stadium looks as if it is one of the newest stadiums in baseball while keeping its classic charm. Dodger Stadium was originally to open in 1961 but landslides and lawsuits delayed construction by a year. On April 10, 1962 the Los Angeles Dodgers played their first game at Dodger Stadium against the Cincinnati Reds when over 52,000 fans packed the five level structure. Not only was Dodger Stadium home to the Dodgers during their inaugural first year, but it was also the home of the Los Angeles Angels who played here for three seasons before moving to Anaheim in 1966.…

As the NFL season approaches, prospective managers are honing their skills and planning their draft strategies. Given that skill levels may vary from one manager to the next, it would seem some fantasy football draft advice would be in order to try and even the playing field a little. 1.…

New York has many historical ties to the game of baseball, and it’s more of a central location comparted to Cooperstown.

    Baseball is not the game that you thought it was. It has not been since 1973 when the first designated hitter was used. A designated hitter does not play defense, their one and only job is to hit for the pitcher. It has made the game stray away from its roots.
