All right, so life and other circumstances (*cough*laziness*cough*) prevented me from getting this blog off the ground last season, or during the offseason, or during spring training or... But I from here on promise at least one update per day, at least on average. One thing that's been happening a lot more often this year is my game attendance. I've already matched the number of games I've been to all of last season, even though one of the games I went to was the last game of the season as Papelbon collapsed and let the Angels sweep us out of the playoffs.
I've also decided to step up my writing in general, and since I hope for this blog to provide sort of "live look-ins" to snatches of time from my baseball fandom and artistic-intellectual life to be used in a future fictional work about baseball, this blog should prove to be of much use.
Some articles to look forward to in the near future:
Game Blogs: since I've already attended an unprecedented number of games, I'll be keeping track of them from here on out, maybe even catching up with the ones I've missed. (Opening Day, going with John to sit in the RIT seats on Patriot's Day, first time sitting in the Loges against the Orioles.) Going to the game tomorrow night, so hopefully this will be taken care of sooner.
More for my own memory, some historically-based entries. One on the call to revamp the triple crown winner's definition, one on the viability of 5-man rotations and subsequently the best five-man rotations of all time (who, for example, was the best 5th man?), an entry on my All-Star picks like last year, and more.
An attempt to get more at the aesthetics of baseball and what art has had to say about it, and vice versa.
Much more else to come, as my own fancy and the articles on BP prompt.
Play ball!
