    It’s been 45 years since the Reds had an inning like the 2nd Game Recap | Box Score One of the best parts of my job is that I get to work with clients all over North America. While it isn’t a business development strategy — officially — I do have to admit when I see that there…

    Alex Avila’s bat has risen from the dead Game Recap | Box Score With a six-run lead by the end of the 2nd inning, the Diamondbacks already had done enough damage to the Pirates to secure their eventual 9-3 win.

    Game Recap | Box Score With my time in Milwaukee coming to an end, so is my five games with the Brewers. With two games in Chicago and 3 in Brew City, I got a chance to get to know this team and watch them go 4 and 1. Sitting in second place 2 1/2 games…

    Pirates blank the Brewers Game Recap | Box Score After a successful series against their division rival and leader, things did not go as planned for the Brewers.

    Pittsburgh Pirates 4 – Toronto Blue Jays 6

    Exhibition / Spring Training Game While my personal highlight of the game was taking my step-father to his first baseball game in about thirty years, seeing prospect Rowdy Tellez hit a home run was a treat. Unfortunately, the other Blue Jays homer was by Melvin Upton Jr. who was released by the team the next day.…

    Pittsburgh Pirates 1 – Toronto Blue Jays 1

    Spring Training Game For the fourth year in a row, the Blue Jays moved their last two Spring Training games from Florida to my hometown, Montréal. For the fourth year in a row, I attended both games in our beat-up old Stade Olympique. Coming off his MVP performance in the World Baseball Classic, Marcus Stroman threw…

  • Pittsburgh Pirates 3 – Chicago Cubs 4

    Pittsburgh Pirates 3 – Chicago Cubs 4

    For my second game at Wrigley with the Chicago Cubs, I decided to sit in a substantially different spot. The previous game I chose to be higher up in the stands in exchange for being right behind home plate, my preferred spot to watch a game. For this game, I was 4 rows up from…

    Pittsburgh Pirates 0 – Chicago Cubs 6

    The first time and last time that I visited Wrigley Field was in 2009 and it was the reason that my passion for baseball reawakened. It was in this city, in this park that I realized everything that is special about baseball and why it mattered so much to me. I’ve spent the last 7+…

    Bottom of the 9th, walk-off home run by Bryce Harper After seeing a game at Miller Park in Milwaukee, I got on a plane to Washington, DC to catch a couple of Nationals games. I haven’t been back to Washington since 2008 and I was excited to see one of my favourite teams and revisit Nationals…

    This was the last game that I attended with my Dad.

  • 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. Behind this renaissance was (at the time, interim) manager Felipe Alou, who replaced the fired Tommy Runnells on…

    Pittsburgh Pirates 1 – Montréal Expos 2

    One of the things that I wish I could figure out, is what were all the different Expos games that I attended as a kid. My father never had season tickets (I doubt her could have afforded them) but I’m pretty sure that we went to at least 5 or more games a season. So…
