February 6, 2024I don’t really write anymore, and it’s too bad. I honestly have more to say than ever. Sometimes I feel like our Lions’ coach: people mistake the passion for just being some loud douche bag, and so, unlike huge balls Dan Campbell, I often get silent because I’m sick of offending people.

Happy Birthday, Ethan!
April 20, 2022Today is my brother’s birthday I wanted to recap all the incredible events that have transpired since he joined the angels in the outfield on September 24th: September 25: Ethan’s all-time favorite college, Michigan State, beats Nebraska 23-20 in overtime to stay undefeated. MSU trailed 20-13 when I turned on the TV, knowing the magic […]

Gettin that rebar ready!
baseballmusings.com If you’re a baseball fan, you’ve seen Big Frank’s routine in the on-deck circle, reaching for a length of that heavy rebar, the steel green and pitted, as he’d start swinging lightly, stretching. And whatever conflicting emotions we fans felt about Thomas over the years, one thing was constant.

Vince Fresso has been with the team since Bill Veeck had the Sox, first working bullpen security, then the visiting clubhouse, before being promoted to working the umpires’ room. That’s when he saw the young Thomas hunting through some construction debris.
“You remember how dilapidated the old ballpark was; there was always some construction going on there,” Fresso said. “Frank was rummaging around, looking for something, but he didn’t know what, exactly.”
