Fool’s Friday: Trio of Fans Heading to Arizona

by Josh February 24, 2012

As one of the strangest off-seasons in memory comes to an end, a reminder of just how great baseball can be presented itself at just the right time.

  If anything in life tops the love between a man in uniform and another man in uniform, then I don’t know what it is.  Maybe it is the long season, or perhaps the commuting between cities that helps forge the bond between 2 players.  It does not matter one iota.  The important thing is […]

My only 2011 Cardinals game: an appreciation of baseball’s lows and highs

by HitTheCutoff February 21, 2012

As a long-time Out of the Park Baseball player, when the OOTP Developments team asked me to test their mobile game, iOOTP, of course I was anxious to get my hands on it and check it out.  I spent the majority of my time with the game while on airplanes or otherwise trying to kill […]
