Really? Has it really been six weeks since I sat down to write about what I’m seeing at Coca-Cola Park and First Energy Stadium? It certainly hasn’t been a lack of games we’ve attended. I can count at least eight off of the top of my head. I guess at this point in the season, … Read more
What a Father’s Day. All week long, my family and I looked forward to this game and all week long it looked like it was going to be a wash out. But much to our surprise, the skies cleared up and the sun came out and baseball was played. Attending this game would mean that … Read more
My wife, by nature, is a planner. When we decide to go to a game, tickets are ordered well in advance. Very rarely, if ever, will we decide to go to a game at the last minute. Fortunately, for the purposes of this blog, she wasn’t feeling well enough to attend our son’s baseball game … Read more

My son and I made the one hour trek out to Baseballtown for our first Reading Fightins game of the season. We’ve both been looking forward to this since the season started.

As I will do 20+ times this season, I had the opportunity to see my hometown IronPigs first hand last night. While the roster is filled with mostly veteran talent, there were a few prospects to keep an eye on. So, in between Walking Tacos and a box of Rivets, here’s are my impressions: Severino … Read more
