Not being much of a baseball fan anymore, this is the long, mostly empty space between the end of college basketball and the ramp up to college and NFL football in August.

Blues vs. Bruins in the Stanley Cup final.
That Blues' net minder Jordan Binnington is a rookie, and damn he is AFIRE this entire playoffs. He has been a monster.

Indy had the most spectacular crash and the closest finish in many years.

College Baseball has been pretty good.

Yes, yes it has. The State vs. LSU series has been compelling to be certain.
LSU does enough at the SEC tournament to ensure hosting a regional. NCAA likes Baton Rouge as it sells out early and often. UVa wins the Division I lacrosse championship in Philadelphia.

Oh boy, where to start?
As I've gotten older, I've come to realize how unimportant sports is on my everyday life (not to mention what a con it's become). As a result I haven't set foot in the Garden to see the Knicks or the Rangers in something like 12-13 years and baseball is nothing more than something to be on the radio while sitting outside enjoying a smoke and a beer. I still watch the Giants, because every week in a 16 game season is important. TBH though, the days of the NFL being "Must See TV" are long gone and I won't go out of my way or schedule my day around a Giants game. My dad would spin in his grave if he saw this. The only one of my teams I really flip over nowadays is New York City FC in MLS. There are any number reasons I can give, but the main one being my son is crazy about the sport. We go to about 8 or 9 matches a year up at Yankee Stadium and it really is a wonderful bonding experience. |

You and I are not far off, Gene. As much as I "love" my LSU Tigers, or Fulham or whoever, by Tuesday I have forgotten the score, usually.

When we were first married circa 1976 BC (before children) if the Royals were in town on a Friday night you'd find us in left field GA seats. Parking was $1.50. GA tickets were $1.50. Beers were $1.25. We could have a nice evening out for about $10.00. Now they've moved GA to nosebleed area in the upper deck, it used to be right down the foul line around the visitor's bull pen, everything costs a minimum of 10 X what it did, and in what used to be an aesthetically pleasant stadium environment every flat surface is covered with some form of advertising. No thank you.

Being a trivia buff, yes, yes it is.
