IT WAS OUR YEAR

Okay so back in 2017, I casually wrote that it was the Capitals year, which ended up not being the Capitals year in typical Capitals fashion. Flash forward to 2018, the Capitals had a very average year. So far gone are the days of run and gun hockey, leading the league in goal differential, and […]

MLB Auctioning, What?

Major League Baseball (MLB) offers a wide array of game used, autographed, or other various baseball memorabilia up for auction. Think of it as a baseball themed eBay, with the primary difference being that the money goes to charity. Seems like a pretty good system, right? At the end of the day business is business. […]

The 7th Inning Stretch with David Ledbetter

Professional athletes are subjected to all sorts of stereotypes, some truer than others.

The 7th Inning Stretch: Ethan Chapman

Normally when you think of professional athletes, you immediately think of the big names you see on TV or see on your social media feeds. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who has no idea who a Mike Trout or a Bryce Harper is, regardless of what sports they follow.  So often we (yes, […]

My Favorite View

“I believe in the Church of Baseball. I’ve tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I’ve worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned […]
