Some of you may or may not know that in a previous life, I was an amateur umpire. When I got to college, I quickly learned that I really enjoyed beer, but that it also interrupted things like studying, and sobriety.

Hope springs eternal, or so the saying goes. No matter what your team did the year before, every April, there is a fever that races over the city and its fans of the boys in blue. April, 2006 was no exception. Sure, Royals fans had plenty to be sour about, but hey, ya never know. […]
It was 1965 and the genre of American musical was in its heyday. Nearly everything that Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote was guaranteed to win awards on Broadway and the silver screen. As such, they decided to take on a heartwarming story of the von Trapp Family Singers, a popular singing group prior to […]
For the second moment in a row, we focus on the Championship Royals era. Now, admittedly, it’s hard to criticize a franchise that hung two AL Championship banners and took home World Series rings in 2015.
