I saw this on yahoo.com and had to check it out. Cheesy video, but surprisingly I 100% agree with all of them.
Matsui Challenge 2010 .:Sep 21 10:.
So my buddy B and I had a side bet in our fantasy baseball league this
year. It was called the Matsui challenged. Long story short, I lost
and part of the bet was that we had to take a trip to Denver to watch a
baseball game for the weekend. Along with watching a game we had a
chance to explore Denver for a bit. Here are some flicks. Coors Field
was actually really nice.
We ended up taking a drive up into the mountains one day. There is a
road where you can drive into the mountains which apparently is the
highest paved road in North America. We didnt make it to the top but
the mountain air was fresh and amazing.
Also had a chance to eat some interesting food. Had Buffalo steak
which was really really good. Also went to this one spot where they
sold some pretty interesting hot dogs.
B had some Rocky Mountain Oysters. If you dont know what they are google it.
You know I had to stop in and do a little digging. Prices were high so
I didnt pick up anything, but I had to stop in and take a peek.
Peace.
Negro Leagues .:Sep 16 10:.
I am a really big baseball fan. Some people think baseball is boring, etc. etc. What
I enjoy about it most is the history, the fact that it is everyday, you dont have to be over 6 feet tall to be a big leaguer and
of all professional sports in America it is probably the most diverse
as far as ethnic makeup. The best players are White, Black, Asian and Latino. The all star game was in Anaheim this past year and they had a fan day at the Anaheim convention center that I checked out. The fan day had tons of baseball activities plus tons of historical info. One of the most interesting exhibits to me was the Negro League exhibit. If it werent for Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball who knows where we would be. Jackie Robinson came up through the Negro leagues. They had a wall that had all the old team names and logos of old negro league teams. It
was really interesting to me some of the names, I wonder what went into
the thinking behind the names and how normal it was to distinguish the
team as "Black". Negro League Baseball 1920-1931.
