Take Me Out To The Ball Game: Turner Field Edition
Turner Field is next up on my stadium list after a visit earlier this baseball season. It’s an older season, having seen 20 years of life. It’ll be replaced soon but was fine for a day game during my time on the road this year.
One Final Night Of Magic

But Did He Earn Miles? New Yankees Pitcher Charters 787 From Japan to JFK For Press Conference

Lance Armstrong Gives Up The Fight
Lance Armstrong has announced he won’t enter arbitration to fight the USADA charges against him. I don’t really know what to say. I’m biased as a huge Lance fan, but I haven’t read of anyone who thought he was going to get a fair…
