I both hate and love these types of moments. Here we are bottom of the 7th, two outs and runners on second and third. Maybe they'll walk me? If I was them, I wouldn't walk me but rather go right at me; fastball inside followed by a slider down and away. Then back with the … Continue reading Summer of 82′

What a Wonderful Name It Is! Sunday morning was just beautiful. Hardly a cloud in the sky with temperature somewhere around 65 degrees with little humidity. Just a picture perfect kind of day.
