On my recent business trip to Tacoma for ABF Freight, I had the good fortune to find Loggers Field on a Google map search. It was fairly close to my hotel, so I circled it as a possible baseball experience. Loggers Field is the home of the University of Puget Sound Baseball team, aka The... Continue Reading →
Seeing 42 All Over The Baseball World Today Leads To Engaging Future Generations of Fans
I was thinking about the autobiography of Jackie Robinson, "I Never Had It Made," I recently finished. Especially today, when MLB celebrates that famous day when Jackie Robinson played in his first Major League Baseball game for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Are you playing high school baseball in some "one horse town?"

My Last Day In Phoenix – The Doubleheader Rainout And The Waiting Game
Generally speaking, in life, I like to think that I am somewhat balanced between organization and spontaneity. On some occasions, I have an idea at 11am to go to a baseball game at 12pm and hustle to make that happen. On other occasions, I have an idea to visit a baseball park when I am... Continue Reading →
A Thursday Evening Visit To Salt River Fields At Talking Stick, USS Arizona Memorial
The baseball experience at each field, park, and stadium I visit is interestingly unique in its own way. Sure many of them have bleachers, a concession stand, light towers, quirky outfield dimensions, and historical markers.
