Love it.
Walking in across Ontario St, the first image I saw of this season’s baseball was way off in the distance, the unmistakeable figure of Old Gerry in the press box, who covers the Canadians for I’ve-never-been-able-to-figure-out -who.  
He’s still alive, and perched in his regular spot next to The Sun’s Lyndon Little, and this [...]

Today it was revealed that Uptown Corey Brown’s season is over. He’ll be having surgery on a torn ligament in his pinkie finger, which came from a face first slide into home plate last week.
What’s odd is that Brown [seen left] says he slides head-first because he’s "not the best person" at sliding feet-first. Apparently [...]

Today, at the Sportsaction Nooner, Matt Sulentic (left) gets a start in right

When you get to the ballpark early, you hear some great stories, and I
heard a neat one tonight upon arriving at Nat Bailey Stadium.
Seems Christian Vitters, he of the 10th round draft pick, is still

in college ball. The interesting twist is who threw the [...]

If I told you the weather was outstanding at Nat Bailey Stadium right

said those words for every single game I’ve seen in the NWL so far this
season. When I moved up to Vancouver, having lived all over the US,
Japan, and Australia, friends thought I [...]
