August-November 2025 Viewing Diary
I haven’t watched much this year, beyond what I was assigned to review. Of course at end of year I have to scramble to catch up, which I am still doing. Instead I watched a lot of true crime, re-watched … Continue reading

R.I.P. Wake
This loss is heartbreaking. And unexpected. He was only 57 years old. Tim Wakefield was “Wake”, that’s what everyone called him. I saw him pitch a couple of times, which was a thrill. His face had this sadness to it … Continue reading

R.I.P. Roger Angell
One of the masters of American prose. Not just in sportswriting – although he is, as they say, “the one to beat” in that arena as well – but period. His writing glides and flows. It’s elegant, it can be … Continue reading
“He’s baseball’s exorcist, scares the devil out of you.” – Dick Sharon on Nolan Ryan
WELL. I can’t wait for THIS one. It has “me” written all over it. Years ago, I reviewed the doc Fastball – which I highly recommend. It’s about the history of the fastball, and profiling the great fastball pitchers. The … Continue reading
R.I.P. Jerry Remy
The Red Sox won’t be the same without RemDawg. I miss him already.
Happy Birthday “Cool Papa Bell”
“Cool Papa” Bell, (Hall of Famer), was born in 1903 in Mississippi and his life spanned almost the entire century. He witnessed it all. He played in the Negro Leagues from 1922 to 1950, an incredible run, and is often … Continue reading
#TBT Keeping score
That time my cousin Kerry and I went to go see the Red Sox play the Yankees at Yankee Stadium and I got to witness first-hand Kerry’s A-plus score-card activity during the game.
