Story #83, 84 -- A pair of keepers.

After the horrendous start to this week, notebooking out of my freaking mind, I got to buckle down and turn out a couple of stories that I'm really proud of for MiLB.com's Farm's Almanac. They went live yesterday on MiLB.com, but I've been busy (school, Mary's back from Greece, etc.). I've finally got them up here for your enjoyment though, so...uhh...enjoy!

Click here to read about some of the trials and tribulations Minor Leaguers must deal with when they're living life on the road (on a bus), for 6-hour plus long trips to visiting parks. There are some hilarious stories and all around bitterness involved, so read the article. It's a good clup for me.

Click here to read a story about Toledo Mud Hens sideline reporter Jordan Strack, a former MHS hockey teammate and friend of mine, not to mention someone I respect in the journalism world as a peer and colleague. I mean when you have a chance to toss someone some exposure, exposure you wish you had people handing you at this stage in your career, I mean why not. Fun to write, catch up with Jordan and a good story. That's money.

(PS- get over to MiLB.com and check out the main page and the art for the Farm's Almanac if you can, it's pretty cool, especially because one of my stories in the main, and the art is for it specifically).
