Of course, being a Sox fan on the north side of Chicago is not really an easy thing. First off, you are surrounded by Cubs fans. Cubs fans love things like Wrigley Field and they talk about it glowingly and lovingly like they would some long lost love or something.
For me, I never saw the […]

Last night more games were played and more jockeying for position in the post-season was had. Thankfully the weather has continued to hold out nicely so no more disrupted games. That end of the season is coming like a speeding train for all of these leagues. While that means many of […]
Since the Rockford Icehogs have joined the AHL, it stands to reason that they too have released their new schedule for the new season. Unfortunately, they don’t have it printed out nicely on their site like the Wolves did.
It seems to me, as I look at the schedule (available at www.icehogs.com), that their season starts […]

On August 25 the NAFL’s Kane County Eagles were supposed to play against the Milawukee Marauders. Thanks to the weather, this game was post-poned and will be scheduled for another time.
The Eagles get to take Labor Day Weekend off. Their next game is September 8 against the Northeast Missouri Wildcats. This will be a home […]

It was a busy weekend as the Chicago area cleaned up from the storms that hit last week. Joliet and Gary, for example, had to do a double-header on Saturday to make up for games that were missed last week. Let’s get to them.

My Uncle Ron has always been a bit of a black sheep in my father’s family. He was the type to always zig when the rest of the family was busy zagging away. It was his house that I was at the fateful weekend when my baseball eyes were opened.
I must have been around four […]
