Month: May 2017

May the 4th be with you…

May 4, 2017

Happy Star Wars Day!  Geeks and nerds across the nation and in MLB stadiums everywhere will be dressing up like their favorite characters today.  Some teams even will have some cool Star Wars-themed giveaways, such as this Alex Gordon Jedi bobblehead the Royals gave out a couple years ago.

There will be no giveaway at the K tonight, though no doubt numerous fans will show up in their favorite Han Solo, Chewbacca, or other Star Wars character getups.  Many teams don’t keep their Star Wars-related giveaways exclusive to May 4th, but rather, you can find little giveaways here and there throughout the year.  I won’t be dressing up as Princess Leia or anything today, but hoping the Royals win tonight, I am.

On deck: Archived Innings

May 2, 2017

As you know, I have been considering the possibility of changing the name of this blog.  After reaching out to family, friends, and readers for ideas and giving it much thought of my own, I’ve decided that I am going to rechristen this site Archived Innings — a hint of baseball and a hint of history rolled into two words!

I am hoping to make the transition over the course of the next week.  I am putting the final touches on the new banner and looking into how to make the change to the domain name.  Hopefully things will all go smoothly!  Stay tuned for this exciting new phase!

Quote of the day

Baseball has so much history and tradition. You can respect it, or you can exploit it for profit, but it’s still being made all over the place, all the time.
