Three Batter Minimum: Her First Game

It recently dawned on me that due to various circumstances, like the Coronavirus, this summer may be the first time I take my youngest daughter to a baseball game.

Three Batter Minimum: Player to Be Named Later

For the most part, the unaffiliated baseball world is a very organized one. The years of it being this wild and crazy place where surprising stuff happens all the time ended long ago. They play professional baseball, the same as the affiliated leagues. There’s nothing truly zany about the way unaffiliated baseball leagues and teams […]

Twitter's an unorganized mess without a third party app to show Tweets chronologically, block out ads, & let me resume where I left off scrolling. I'm done here for the most part. I won't be posting much to Mastodon, but if I do you can find me at,
