Welcome!!!

Welcome to everyone who found this blog! First things first, the man you see pictured with a healthy glass of wine in his hand, and a jim dandy White Sox shirt on, is my uncle. He is one of the finest human beings ever to walk the earth, and this blog is dedicated to him.

Secondly, I'm not really sure who would want to read anything here. As I stated before, this blog was started by me strictly for theraputic purposes at this point. If something is on here that generates a reaction in you, by all means feel free to share it. If not, that's fine too. This is a fly-by-night operation, so no pressure.

Third, we live in an era where sports information has never been more accessible. Yet somehow most of it manages to be filtered and watered down in many respects by certain media/sports networks/websites. It's my wish to have one little sanctuary where information/thoughts/feelings are free of agenda or spin, or b.s. that exists in todays sportsworld. Hopefully that will exist here.

Fourth, LETS HAVE SOME FUN!!!

Fun Baseball Stuff

As another baseball season approaches the All-Star Break, I tend to start devouring all kinds of information sources about the game whether they be websites, interviews, and/or Baseball Bigfoots like Joe Posnanski at si.com.

In my opinion, Joe is one of the more credible writers about the game, and even though I disagree with his thoughts from time to time I generally enjoy his work. I came across a piece Joe wrote "14 Crazy Baseball Facts" and I have to say there are some facts listed here that I never would have guessed were reality. Some of the subjects covered with these facts are:

1. How similar Tim Raines and Tony Gwynn's numbers are.
2. How Harold Baines quietly amassed stats better than Joe DiMaggio.
3. Ron Kittle was better power hitter than Lou Gehrig.

Anyway, I thought it was a pretty cool piece. Enjoy!
