Well, it was fun for a while. Live sports, that is. Pro sports. Team sports. Baseball. I had a feeling last Thursday and Friday that I hadn’t had for a long time. Watching one of the major sports leagues return to action, with games that counted, it was a little surreal. A good kind of […]

“Play Ball!” Those two simple words are always significant, but even more so this week, and this year. I wasn’t sure this Thursday would ever happen. The last time we watched a pro sports team play was over four months ago. And on Thursday, we got it back. For now , at least. Usually baseball in […]

I’ve been thinking for the last 30 minutes on how to start this, and I’m kind of drawing a blank. There are a few ways to go with this. I’m gonna go with something that I hope ends up being positive, but your guess is as good as mine. In eight days or so, depending […]

Ok, it’s July, and we’re all waiting for team sports to resume. We all deserve team pro sports to resume. Also, you all deserve a break from me writing about ticket refunds and all the awful things that’s happened in 2020. So I’m gonna try something different today. I’m going to write about my favorite arenas, […]

First of all, I have to apologize. To a company. To a company i was critical of a few weeks ago. The name is Seat Geek. I said that they weren’t doing a good enough job with my ticket refund from cancelled games. They weren’t as bad as Ticketmaster, but I wanted a quicker response. […]

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” If you think those words make no sense, I will admit I didn’t come up with them first. Some famous writer named Charles wrote them a very long time ago. But that’s kind of how my week went. I used to eat out […]

By Keegan Ohta Look at any of the teams in professional sports and tell me which ones have a cool looking logo. Do the Pittsburgh Pirates instill fear? Or does the Cardinal from Arizona look fierce? What some people don’t realize is that the best logos come from the minor leagues of baseball in America. […]

Now, the waiting begins. Waiting, that is, for the NBA and NHL to return to actual games in what will be known as “Bubble Cities.” I’m going to watch these sports with an open mind. I say that now, at least. At first, I wanted these sports to cancel the remainder of their seasons. And […]

A new month. Renewed hope. Closer to a return to normalcy. Those are the thoughts and feelings I had as we approached June. These days, I am happy as each new month starts, because the months that have ended signify the worst months that I have ever lived through, not just personally, but for the […]
