Another day, another rainout Over my three days in Washington, DC, I managed to spend almost 12 hours at Nationals Park and saw a total of 10 1/2 innings of baseball. One one hand, that’s a fair amount of time at the ball field to take in the sites, eat some food and drink a…

Max Scherzer goes nine innings for the CG win Game Recap | Box Score My favourite thing about 2018 baseball is Max Scherzer. I guess he was also my favourite thing about 2017 and 2016 baseball.

San Diego Padres 6 – Milwaukee Brewers 2
One of the best things about seeing a game in Milwaukee is that, Ryan Braun or not, this is a baseball city. After taking the train from Chicago to the Milwaukee Airport (not the sexiest place to stay) I cabbed it downtown and spent a few hours exploring a pretty, but very quiet part of…

Pittsburgh Pirates 1 – Montréal Expos 5
After a dismal year in 1991 and a rocky start to the following season, I, like a lot of Montreal Expos fans, experienced a renewal of my love for the team and for baseball itself in 1992.
