The Games Begin


Busy, busy, busy.

Baseball fans, this is it; the time has come to get ready for the 2026 season. The next couple of weeks will be sports-busy. First, we'll have the 2026 Winter Olympics from Italy. Then, we will segue right into Spring Training and then the World Baseball Classic. By the time that the "Rat Race" is over, Opening Day will be here. The fresh cut of the grass, painting of the white lines, and yelling of "Play Ball."

As we sit and wait for the season to begin, we'll be teased with the Winter Olympics, but it will be a good tease because the same values the Olympics has, so too will the World Baseball Classic. So, it seemed like years ago that the Dodgers won the World Series, but this is the way of life. The way the baseball hierarchy wants it.

See ya at the game.

Yankees Fading Fast

The Yankees have a 48-41 record and are sitting three games behind the  Toronto Blue Jays  in the AL East.  The news also got worse for them, as Clarke Schmidt is likely facing Tommy John surgery, and Aaron Judge was hit in the face by a baseball tossed by Anthony Volpe in between innings. With the trade deadline coming up, the Yankees need to look at pitching and third base options. If they have  World Series  aspirations, they need to make improvements, or they may not be playing in October. — Joe Boesch

If tears come streaming down your face on this day it's OK. This is a day of remembrance and to "Never Forget." This day is known as 9/11. It is the 24th anniversary of September 11, 2001, and a time to remember loved ones and first responders who were lost that day. Then and now, sports have played a significant role in the remembrance and healing process. For many, sports have played a big part in the healing process, from supporting first responders to displaying the American flag during opening ceremonies at stadiums and arenas. Throughout the years, 9/11 and the sport's healing process have been well documented by stories, exhibits, and performances at many sports venues nationwide. The New York Mets and Yankees each wore first responder hats from the PAPD, NYPD, and FDNY to show their support. The 9/11 Memorial and Museum  even had an exhibit called  Comeback Season: Sports After 9/11 , which, according to its webpage, "explores how sports helped the countr...
