Chicago and Milwaukee Trip Recap in Pictures

Stratford, NJ, USA
Better late than never?
Before I head off on my next trip, I thought I should finally find time to post the pictures from my last trip.
From July 27-30, I was in Chicago.
I mainly went to see a baseball game.  But it was my first time in the Windy City, so I did all [...]

Why I’m Boycotting Major League Baseball

Stratford, NJ, USA
Before writing my full recap of my trip to Chicago and Milwaukee, I should probably explain why I went to begin with.
Most people who know me know that I have been boycotting Major League Baseball since 1994.
Of course, this sometimes presents a challenge, considering that my favorite hobby is visiting sports stadiums.  So, [...]

Boston: Futures at Fenway

If you know me, you probably know that I love sports stadiums.
You may also know that I haven’t attended a Major League Baseball game since 1993.  Yes, I have my own little one-man boycott going, thanks to the baseball strike, interleague play, stadium extortion economics, high ticket prices, the Expos fiasco, steriods, the new home run “champ,” [...]

Beantown!

Cambridge, MA, USA
Well, tomorrow is the big day; I will finally get to see a baseball game at Fenway!
This all came about at the last minute and without much planning. Still, I’m having a nice time here in Boston, although I do feel a bit rushed.
More later!
Why I’m [...]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…

Sports: York Revolution–at home in Camden (and life after Hershey)

Well, the Hershey Bears’ season ended last night with a loss. 
I can hardly complain; two finals in two years is still pretty good.  Two years in a row, I got to see them play in June (I supposed it’s too late now for me to whine about the parking lot flood at the Giant Center [...]

Mexican Sports and Life: Club Tijuana Xolos soccer y Potros de TJ baseball (Updated!)

Stratford, NJ, USA 
Including travel time, my sports daytrip to Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, only took about 13 hours of my 6.5 day trip to the West Coast.  Why, then, does this little jaunt get a post almost as long as my recap of the entire rest of the trip?
Well, as a sports fan, a stadium [...]

756* (or, “The Sports Entry”)

SILVER SPRING, MD, USA
And you wonder why I haven’t been to a major league baseball game since since 1994…Barry Bonds needs to be banned now, no questions asked. It’s an absolute disgrace that baseball’s most important record, held by one of it’s greatest sportsmen, is going to be taken by a drug addict.
Have you noticed [...]

Good news and bad news

MARLTON, NJ, USA
My computer is giving me SERIOUS problems. The good news? I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Geico!
Nah, not really. I’m still not driving. But, I did get a job!
Starting next Tuesday, I’m the new HIV/AIDS Program Associate for The POLICY Project, a sub-project of The Futures [...]
