Baseball

Every year, a number of notable ballplayers meet in Cooperstown for the Hall of Fame Game, and these New York alums will suit up at Doubleday Field in 2022.

The New York Mets meant well in their construction of a statue to honor legendary pitcher, Tom Seaver, but made a critical error that has confused fans everywhere.

A Toronto Blue Jays' fan caught a home run ball from Yankees' slugger Aaron Judge last night, and shocked the sports world with this act of kindness for a young fan.

One of our good friends here on Big Board Sports Matt Frey joined Michael Johnson Jr. and I in studio for an awesome interview.

Yankees' minor league manager Rachel Balkovec has had to put her debut on hold, because of a scary injury during spring training. She posted pictures earlier today.

Shame on Major League Baseball for not getting a deal done. Baseball is heading in the wrong direction, and losing more fans each year.

ESPN caught lightning in a bottle with their creation of the "Manningcast" broadcast during the NFL season, and have created a new show that has Yankees fans buzzing.

The New York Department of Motor Vehicles unveiled a new line of NASCAR and baseball inspired picture plates.

I love to volunteer to coach Ryan's Little League team, but my coaching cost his team the game last weekend. I beat myself up over it for the entire week. We brought it up on the air and it was comforting to know that I am not the only one. The phone calls made me realize that my error in coaching wasn't even close to what these other coaches did that cost their kids the game.

We took a trip to Long Island this weekend for a baseball tournament that my son was in. We didn't quite know what to expect. Not only at the baseball tournament but in the new "normal" COVID world. What we encountered were a different type of people we met and a whole new way of living and playing.

I will be the first to admit that I am usually the loudest mom cheering at my son, Ryan's baseball games. I just love to watch him play and I also encourage his teammates in a positive, sometimes too boisterous way. I never yell anything negative, but I do come up with some clever nicknames and phrases when I cheer. Oh and I also mic myself up. This week, I found a way to work a popular and funny commercial into my "Big League Chooch".

In less than two weeks, we can head to The Joe and enjoy a Tri-City Valley Cats game. Now with restrictions lifting and changing from week to week, there will be special sections at the games.
