We’ve all heard those cliché expressions. “You have to follow your dreams”, and “you can only get there if you try as hard as you can try”. Well, during my trip the Winter Meetings in National Harbor, Maryland, I met the guy that wanted to put those clichés to the test. His name is Jeremy…

Today, the 6th of December, which is St.Nicholas Day, was my last day at the Baseball Winter Meetings, however, like I said yesterday, it was probably my most successful day of the three.

As of the writing of this post, I’m in Newark, New Jersey, on Amtrak train 155 enroute to Union Station from where I’ll be traveling via taxi to the Gaylord National Hotel…

I guess the Mets are really taking to the phrase, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, because after signing Neil Walker and Yoenis Cespedes, the Mets promptly singed another guy that helped the Mets in 2016, René Rivera. René was not exceptionally helpful with his bat, only batting 222 with 26 runs batted in,…

The 2017 Queens Baseball Convention is fast approaching, and now, as we enter the Christmas/Holiday season, tickets are officially on-sale! What is the Queens Baseball Convention, however? Well, it’s kind of like a Fan Fest, but it’s not an official Fan Fest, as it’s run by passionate fans, which in my experience only makes it…
