The 2019 Collegiate Division one baseball season started strong! We launched the HOTDOGBLOG- Miami U went to playoffs, the USF Dons as well – we charged into the 2020 season with a dedicated fund to travel to college baseball nearly every weekend – with a Senior and and Sophomore healthy and ready to rock. And. Then.
But here we are – 2022. The inspiration for this blog are now college graduates, both with degrees and Magna Cum Laude status and student-athlete accolades. From T-Ball to D1 college, what a ride. But…the ride continues, and you are invited to come along, still. I’m back on the blog. We are still in the bleachers. I remember the first bleachers – a three-row job but then we sat on blankets. Watching dads who just wanted to teach the game to their tots. Not yell, not scream, not throw tantrums. Baggy jerseys, ill-fitting helmets, awkward swings, a little brother who was not technically allowed to approach the T. And here we are today, from seats along first base line in Lansing, Michigan at Jackson Field. Home of the Lansing Lugnuts, high A team for the Oakland A’s, still cheering, still rating hot dogs.
Is this heaven?
