So close before midnight, I thought I’d be celebrating an American League World Series win. Oh well, extra innings folks.

MLB Weather Delays
October 26th, 2011 
bigshoes It is snowing and raining in some regions of the US and as we near the end of the MLB season one could only wonder if baseball post season play overstays its welcome. I’ll admit I was a traditionalist and did not look forward to the post season all those years ago as divisions were [...]
Go Texas Rangers
October 19th, 2011 bigshoes It is rare for me not to watch the World Series, even when it does not include the New York Yankees. When that is the case, I usually support the American League efforts (exceptions the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates – sorry Oriels, and the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies). So it is with much enthusiasm that I will [...]

October 11th, 2011 bigshoes They are gone. No Yankees this season. I’m reflecting on last week when they lost it all. And all we have to remember it by is the news that Derek Jeter is visiting his old flame in Miami and they might be back on again. Is he settling down? And the World Series, yes, I [...]

Missing NY Yankees Baseball
August 3rd, 2011 bigshoes Lucky for me the NY Yankees will play the Boston Red Sox this coming weekend so we might actually be able to catch a classic baseball game match up. We don’t live in either city so it is hard to catch those Yankee games. Yes even with today’s technology I’m not into supporting Major League [...]

November 5th, 2009 bigshoes It has been quiet here at New York Yankees Baseball, but it hasn’t been quiet in New York or here in Philadelphia. Oh yes, this New York Yankee fan reports from within enemy territory. That hasn’t stopped us from supporting the team. My daughter has taken one for the team nearly every day donning her [...]

October 20th, 2009 bigshoes Bob Sheppard, the voice of Yankee Stadium celebrates his 99th birthday today. Fox Sports shared his first line-up card tonight and it was the Boston Red Sox versus the New York Yankees on April 17th, 1951. It was Mickey Mantle’s first game. Although Bob Sheppard stopped doing games in 2007 his voice is present in [...]

October 18th, 2009 bigshoes What a great start to the series. Don’t blink it might be over before we know it. Unless there is another 13 inning game to keep us up all night. I kept saying I’d go to bed, but that last missed play by the Angels was worth fighting the sandman for. The question before the [...]

October 16th, 2009 bigshoes It’s the eve of the Yankee – Angels’ series and having just watched the excitement (maybe not) of the Philly and Dodgers in the National League Championship Series (NLCS) I can’t wait for October 16, 2009 7:57 p.m. Why? Because it is the first time in five years that the New York Yankees have made [...]

March 30th, 2008 bigshoes Okay ladies, any baseball fans in the house? It is opening day or night really, for baseball. Atlanta and Washington are about to throw out the first pitch as we speak and I’ve got my baseball shoes on. I’m kind of disappointed that it is an evening game on a Sunday evening. How about a [...]
