“Pitchers and catchers are reporting today,” says every baseball fan ever on Twitter. But, alas, spring training has begun. The almost national holiday of baseball fans is here and spring is in the air. At least, in Arizona and California maybe. It gives the upper east coast some hope that spring is on its way [...]

No Comments »Happy Birthday Jackie Robinson!
January 31st, 2013 douglasawhsport Thanks to Google for letting me know that today would have been Jackie Robinson’s 94th birthday. I suppose it’s a fitting bookend for Black History Month in February. Considering Robinson was deservedly a first ballot hall-of-famer, his career, in baseball terms, was not particularly long.

Prediction #9: Angels win World Series
January 8th, 2013 douglasawhsport I promise I am not a SoCal fanboy. I’ve never lived west of the Mississippi! Baseball is not one of the sports I cover closely.

March 8th, 2010 douglasawhsport Well, it’s hard to have breaking news on a weekly blog entry, no? NY Times beat me to it, but it’s still relevant (hey, they just posted this morning!). Times Online (UK) did too, and to no surprise, I find their commentary better informed. Before this becomes a link fest to organizations that have covered [...]

February 15th, 2010 Jeffrey Powers It’s been an amazing first day for the Winter Olympics from Vancouver British Columbia. The one event that is getting a lot of attention though was the Nordic event. The nail biting finish between Jason Lamy Chappuis and Johnny Spillane really shows how competitive and exciting the next couple weeks will be. The most amazing point of this win [...]
