Hope is a part of baseball. One of my favorite things about baseball is that there are games almost everyday year-round and for all big-time baseball fans that accounts for about six to seven months of the year, for some much more. Even when your team is eliminated in the playoffs so close to the World Series, every fan can take...
This week in the little story that is my Life of a Major League Baseball Season Ticket Holder I am going to pick up where I left off last time. I was in my hotel room at the DoubleTree and had to take off in order to get to an A's game at Phoenix Municipal Stadium against the Los Angeles Dodgers with the reigning Cy Young Award...
Hello from, a not so sunny, Phoenix Arizona! This week on 2014 Oakland Athletics: Life as a Major League Baseball Season Ticket Holder I am coming to you straight from Cactus League Spring Training, as opposed to Grapefruit League Spring Training.
Here's a short history lesson before I get to my experience so far this year in...
In the Oakland Athletics very first Spring Training game of 2014, right fielder Josh Reddick, made what everyone is calling "The Catch Of the Year." He did it not once but twice! Not only that, both times he robbed the same hitter, the San Francisco Giants' Michael Morse, of a home run!
His first catch over the right field...
There's a slightly disturbing trend happening to players of Los Angeles Major League Baseball teams. Two players, one former and one current, have been hit in the head with line drives in the last week. One has to wonder who's next since there is the old superstition that things often happen in groups of three.
It's a scary...
This week on 2014 Oakland Athletics: Life of a MLB Season Ticket Holder, I am getting ready to head out to Phoenix, Arizona to see my A's play a little baseball. I feel like Spring Training is something every baseball fan should experience, especially if you are dedicated enough to be a STH.
This is one of my favorite times of year:...
As we head into Spring, counting down the days to Opening Day, it's time to write up my predictions. We have seen some truly astonishing things this off-season, including; Jay Z earning Robinson Cano a mad $240 million deal, Masahiro Tanaka becoming the fifth highest paid pitcher in baseball history in order to don the...
Apparently, Super Bowl Champion quarterbacks, at least ones named Russell Wilson, like to work year round. It was reported today, by Fox Sports' Jon Morosi, that yesterday's Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks' quarterback will still be reporting to the Texas Ranger's Spring Training camp. He was taken by the Rangers in this winter's...
The Oakland Athletics recently signed Los Angeles Dodgers back-up shortstop Nick Punto to a one-year deal for $2.27M with an option for 2015. Depending on Punto's production and days on the disabled list in 2014, the A's have a buyout option for 2015 of $250K.
What does this mean for current A's shortstop Jed Lowrie? Of course A's...
Today is the day all New York Yankees fans have been waiting for since the disatrous loss to the Detroit Tigers last October - pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training.
I'm a diehard Yankees fan and have been my whole life. I always look forward to this day every winter. Even in the dismal 1980s when the Yankees didn't win...
