Have You Heard About Ball Boy Kevin?

You all know I’m a huge baseball fan, and the Oakland A’s are my team. Over the past month, the ball boy that works by the A’s bullpen has almost been in the spotlight more than the team has! That ball boy is Kevin Fennell, from Concord, CA. He’s 21 now, but I have known [...]

Five Years

Five years ago this morning, I put the last few things I hadn’t packed into my Scion tC and pulled away from my condo in Concord, CA at 3:30 am. One speeding ticket and one warning later I arrived in Denver at Scott’s house at 10:30 pm. I left behind my best friends in the [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Some people talk about Christmas being the best day of the year. Others say it’s their birthday. For me, it’s baseball’s opening day. If I were in charge, it would be a national holiday. Sunday night as I was unpacking, I was looking at all my autographed baseballs and reminiscing back to the days where [...]
