About Me and Why I Love Baseball

American journalist, Bruce Catton, stated, “baseball is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America.” I fell in love with baseball during one of these discussions. Growing up, conversations between my father and I were rigid, impersonal critiques of my batting stance, my follow through and the incessant reminder to keep my eye on the ball. I quickly resented the hours spent in my back yard swinging away at soft tosses and continuously chasing after fly balls. Baseball and my father were simply making my young life miserable.

Revamped Blog - Sunday Sports Segment

I have decided to revamp my blog. I have not written in this particular blog in four years and feel a fresh perspective is needed to engage new readers, new thoughts and new conversations. I have left a few remaining posts from the previous blog, "As Time Ticks Life Away" as a reminder of where I've been and what paths my thoughts have traveled.

Maybe if I was taller...

Notes: 22 on 22

I have been the wonderful age of 22 for a grand total of 1.5 days. I haven't written in this blog for a grand total of about 1.5 years. In honor of the year long drought of journaling and the recent celebration, I've decided to contemplate and note 22 thoughts that cover the last year and a half. This way, I'm all caught up and can start new and fresh next time I write, which hopefully, will be sooner than a year away.
