Baseball is back!

Disregard all the coverage and hype the Super Bowl is getting, my focus is on the upcoming 2010 MLB season. Being an East Bay native almost all my life, Baseball is one of the best parts of the year. I can still remember seeing my first game at Oakland Coliseum in 1985! The Athletics lost to the Texas Rangers 5-3 and I didn't even care. I remember the enormity of the whole place, it was nothing like how it feels today. The field seemed to be never ending, I couldn't believe these guys could make a play at home plate from the outfield. To me they seemed to have super human strength and I dreamed one day I could be a part of all that.

Thanks to a generous pseudo family member (my girlfriends Uncle) I am treated to the most amazing seats in the house. First row, third base line, right behind Oakland's dugout. (Stay tuned for pictures once the season starts!) So it's only right to do these seats right. I plan on attending as many games as possible this year, be it by tickets given to me, or purchased. I plan on updating this blog at first weekly, then as I get more used to it.. daily. if you notice the title up to the top it says "Today in baseball." I am going to try to [with every regular post] add a nice historical fact be it about a player, a team, or just the game in general with every update. A way to keep the history of Baseball fresh in my memory, and for others to get to know how awesome this game really is. Its definitely not a new concept at all. I just want to stay up to date. Obviously, since the A's are my team this will be a large part of the updates.. but hey, news will still come from all around the league.

So stay tuned, and enjoy. oh.. and I almost forgot.. LET"S GO OAKLAND!
