Three Batter Minimum: Baseball Fighters

I’m not a gamer, I never considered myself one. That’s not to say that I don’t partake in my fair share of video games. I most decidedly do, but they tend to be from one specific genre, fighting games. It’s not that I’m the best at them, nor do I ever dare compete competitively. As […]

Three Batter Minimum: Fans Need Not Apply

The crack of the bat minus the sound of the crowd. It’s something most of us have never experienced. Even in struggling leagues with franchises near death, there are some fans in attendance. They still make noise, not as much as in a packed house, but the noise is still there. We hear bat make […]
