The Real Story Behind “A League of Their Own”. Top Story - April 2022.
I’ve been intrigued with the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) ever since I watched A League of Their Own for the first time a couple of years ago. As the history lover that I am, I decided to do some more digging. I was entirely blown away by what these incredible women accomplished in the 1940s and ‘50s.

The Rockies wild ride to the world series
The game that propelled the Colorado Rockies into the playoffs and ultimately the world series. But before that they had an uphill struggle to compete against. Their record had them twenty-one games out of play off contention with twenty-one games left to play. In other words they couldn't lose a single game for the rest of the season.

Classic Movie Review: 'Eight Men Out' is the Most Underappreciated Baseball Movie of All Time
With Baseball out of its 2022 Lock Out and getting ready to return for a full 162 game season in April of 2022, I'm looking at some of the greatest Baseball movies ever made. Recently, I made my declaration that Bull Durham is the Greatest Baseball Movie of All Time, check out that review, linked here. Now, I want to talk about a baseball movie that is deeply underappreciated. 1988's Eight Men Out is one of the best sports movies of all time and, in terms of baseball movies, easily the most underappreciated in the sub-genre.

Classic Movie Review: 'Bull Durham' is the Greatest Baseball Movie of All Time
Bull Durham is the best baseball movie ever made, bar none. You can have your Field of Dreams or your A League of their Own or The Babe Ruth Story, for those of you with terrible taste, but for me, there is no contest, Bull Durham is THE BEST. Funny, smart, romantic, sexy and quotable, Bull Durham goes even beyond baseball and into the realm of simply being a great movie.

Ripped away from the Bronx, the Suburbs Could not Compare for a Kid
I was born on Bronxdale Avenue and have very vague memories of the Bronx. You see, I was ripped away at five years old and clearly remember the excitement of being in the basement of our own house in Somers, NY. Little did I know, my euphoria was misplaced.
