Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Monday, Oct. 30. There are only a handful of individual baseball games which have warranted entire books being written about them.  One is obvious although I can't name a book written about it.  That's the Giants-Dodgers playoff game of October 3, 1951.  If you know a book ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Thursday, Oct. 26. Whatever else may happen in this World Series, no man can deny the Astros belong there with the Dodgers.  After losing all 4 games with the White Sox in 2005  and losing game 1 Tuesday night, they bucked the odds and shocked the world with ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Wednesday, Oct. 25. In losing game 1 of the World Series to the Dodgers last night, the Astros made history in several ways.  They became the first team to appear as both a National League entry (2005) and an American League entry in the fall classic.  They ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Tuesday, Oct. 24. Well, the time is nearly here.  As I write this we're some 14 hours from the first pitch of the World Series.  Enough time to buy a week's groceries, enough adult beverages to make the games enjoyable and though it pains me to say ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this very late Saturdday night, Oct. 21. When major league teams gathered in Florida and Arizona at the end of February, it didn't seem possible that the Yankees or Astros would meet in a 7-game series with the winner to face the Dodgers, but that will be the matchup ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Monday, Oct. 16. When Dr. Charles Richter invented the Richter scale to measure earthquakes, there were two things he wasn't counting on.  He never imagined some of his colleagues would write and record a song about the Richter Scale which you can still hear on youtube. (He wasn't ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Friday, Oct. 13. For a dozen years there was a radio show called "Can You Top This," where listeners would send in jokes, a few of which would be read on the air while 3 top comedians tried to tell a funnier joke on the same subject.  ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Monday, Oct. 9. While the Yanks faced the Indians on a Sunday night, their motivation was that hook from a bad song in a worse movie from the 1970's, "Saturday Night Fever.".  "Stayin' Alive" was what it was all about in the Bronx, and Masahiro Tanaka, of ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Sunday, Oct. 8. After the horror on Friday night, when the Yankees inexcusably blew an 8--3 lead in a critical game, today's game 3 seems more like a postmortem than anything else.  The  Yankees, perhaps in a subconscious gesture to end their pain are going with Masahiro ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Thursday, October 5. The D-Backs' Archie Bradley forgot which comic strip he was a part of for just a moment last night.  Instead of hanging with Veronica and Betty, Archie stepped into a Superman comic and launched a 2-run triple faster than a speeding bullet and leading ...
