Hagerstown Federals Kicking Butt!
While I must say I have not really followed the Hagerstown little league in the past, this year I am pumped about these guys. They are doing great in the regionals and look like they will be heading to the world series in Williamsport, PA! I must say that in New Hampshire we never played like this and as a transplant former little leaguer in my adopted home town I am excited to see my town kicking butt.
If you are interested in learning more about the little league you can visit their website here. If you want to see how they are doing keep your eyes on ESPN2 for more great little league baseball action!
Red Sox – Jon Lester No Hitter!

MLB 2008 – Nationals Opener
So it's that time of year again, when we all don our favorite team's hats, gather around at the ballpark or the TV and watch our favorite players play America's pass time. Today, the Washington Nationals play the Atlanta Braves in the first game ever played at the new Nationals Park.
I must say that the park is beautiful and the Nationals are lucky to have such a great new venue to play for their fans. This new ballpark has me excited about the new season of Hagerstown Suns baseball as well. So excited that I am picking up my old baseball card collecting hobby again if not for me than for my kids who I hope share the same excitement about the game that I do. I figure if I start collecting again now, in another 13 years when they are old enough to appreciate the sport and the hobby.
So far I went ahead and purchased the complete Topps 2007 set and a bunch of new card pocket pages for my 3-ring binders. I forgot how much I love doing this and this year is going to be a lot of fun.
It’s A Hell of Weekend to be in DC
You can't help but feel good about this weekend in DC. The National Marathon is being run, the Cherry Blossom Festival is ready for business and the new Nationals ball park is opening which brings a sense of renewal to a city that is far too often associated with violence and poverty.
I know I will be there tomorrow partaking in many of the activities that will be going on in the city. I miss having the easy access to DC that I had when I lived closer to the metro than in Hagertucky. It used to be about an hour into the city center, now it is two hours but that doesn't phase me. What does amaze me though is the amount of people who live in Hagerstown that don't go to DC for these events. My wife's parents still have yet to see the Cherry Blossom Festival which amazes me. They have lived in Hagerstown for over 20 years and have never gone, yet this will be my wife and I's third year in a row going. It truly is one of the most unique things DC has to offer and if you don't go at some point in your life then you are missing out.
I also have a goal of getting to a Nats game at least once this year, while I can never truly love any team other than the Red Sox being from NH, the Nationals are the second in line. They were the surprise story of Major League Baseball when they moved back to DC when the Expos were disbanded. They have been the underdog for several years now but do have some real talent which makes them a fun team to watch. With the new ball park I'm sure more people will be watching than ever before this year.
So seriously, what are you waiting for? hop in your car tomorrow morning, drive to the Shady Grove Metro station in Rockville and get into DC. You will be happy you did.
