Way back in history when newspapers were once read, the sports section was commonly referred to as the "toy department." The sports section was one of life's great enjoyments and was certainly less serious than reading about depressions, wars and social issues the other sections covered. I remember reading it while eating breakfast first thing in the morning.
As writing and the sports world evolved, we find ourselves facing the reality of the whims of the internet and I feel that this blog has something to contribute. I think sports should be both thought-provoking and fun. I am as big a fan as anyone and as knowledgeable as they come, but I want to use this forum to both discuss serious issues and to illustrate that sports are meant mostly for enjoyment and entertainment. As an adult, the closest thing to a toy store is a Best Buy or Amazon but sports is a universal no matter the age, nationality or teams followed.
I have seen the other side of the curtain that most of the public never gets a chance to see during my 10 seasons with the Atlanta Braves as well as my time in women's pro softball, minor-league baseball and freelance gigs covering everything from the NBA to the NFL.
So, swing by and check out this forum from time to time. I think I may have some interesting topics and fun bits...as well as some interviews and other things from the world of sports!
