The World Series is supposed to be about the two best teams in each league duking it out for supreme bragging rights.
Often, this fails in favor of two teams that simply get hot at the right time, but this year, it is, in fact, the league’s...
Sep. 7 | Some statistics are just that impressive.
Consider Derek Jeter who sits just three hits behind Lou Gehrig on the New York Yankees all-time list. Jeter has 2718 hits in 2115 at-bats while Gehrig needed 2164 to knock in his 2721. So Jeter will likely have...
Jun. 12 | Proud to be a sports blogger and wedding crasher

Tampa Bay Rays have continued their improbable season after knocking out the defending champions Boston Red Sox in seven games.
It’s a great story and BJ Upton, Rocco Baldelli...
Oct. 16 | One championship since 1884
The Philadelphia Phillies eliminated the Los Angeles Dodgers (aka the Manny Ramirez’s) fours games to one to earn its first World Series berth since 1993. And boy did they deserve it. This is a solid team from top to...
