Your Los Angeles Dodgers are going back to the World Series, and they only are because of what we the fans do -all the crazy, kooky things we do to make it happen. Well, maybe the team has a little bit to do with it. But they obviously can’t do it without the fans and […]

On September 19, 2024, I had the luck and privilege to see what was easily the greatest offensive day in the history of the sport. Shohei Ohtani created the first 50/50 club with such aplomb, we were unlikely to ever see its like ever again. Never mind that he made another 50/50 club in 2025. […]

Is there anything to discuss today besides Shohei Ohtani? Talk about waking a sleeping giant. Ohtani almost makes this look easy, and it’s hard to remember that this incredible skill didn’t happen by chance—Ohtani built himself this way over years and years of single-minded dedication.
