It’s pretty awesome that in we’re able to celebrate another Women’s History Month. On a sadder note… The US Men lost the the World Baseball Classic in the final against Japan.

Happy Black History Month! I’m fortunate to be able to provide more posts regarding the ballad. 19 years in the Majors with a HBP Stat of 37. 10 years in the Majors with HBP Stat of 72. I really wonder what would cause such a large discrepancy…

Well it finally arrived. I needed to verify for myself what the author of the magazine article referenced. As I was checking out the Table of Contents the title of the chapter jumped right out at me.

The Lunar New Year is upon us and the year of the Rabbit could mark the 50th Anniversary of “Mr. Robinson’s song to Mr. Slaughter”.
