I was once the most bitter baseball fan on the planet. I became this way in 2002 when my idol, Jose Canseco, admitted to taking Steroids throughout his career. Sure, I had heard rumors and even read as journalists call him out but I refused to believe. On that day, baseball died for me. I [...]

I am ashamed to admit that back in 1992 I collected comic books for one summer. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with reading comics. The reason I collected them is because every week some shiny, foil cover would show up at my shop that I loved to look at. I am ashamed [...]

I can vividly remember sitting in my fathers lap watching Super Bowl XX. I had just turned six years old. I remember yelling every time the Bears would score. What little girl doesn’t like bears? I remember the sights and sounds of the halftime show and the celebration afterwards when [...]

In November of 2008, I found out about a website called “Upper Deck Kids.” This website instantly became a favorite of mine because I was able to type in codes on the back of my Upper Deck cards and receive points for each one. When I had about 30,000 points from [...]

No disrespect meant to any of the other players getting enshrined into Cooperstown today, but when you’re sharing the stage with a player that has the skill and personality that Rickey Henderson has, you will get overshadowed quite often.
Rickey is by far and away one of the most talented players to have played this game. With [...]

Well, not even 24 hours after I unveiled the code, we have our winner! The winner was Scott of Hand Collated!!!. I’m not sure if I made the code hard enough but I didn’t want to make it so hard that nobody would get it for days on end. Anyway, here’s the solution to my [...]

When I was a young chemgod, way before I even knew I wanted to be a chemgod, I was hooked on PC sports simulations. I spent the majority of my junior high and even some of high school and college days, creating leagues and simming seasons using either Microleague Baseball or Earl Weaver Baseball for [...]
