Where I grew up, my next door neighbor won the Powerball Lottery twice. Everyone called it insane luck and just shook their heads. Well, a golfer in Kansas got to experience similar luck this week. At Muscatine Municipal Golf Course, Ted Kemp hit back-to-back holes-in-one. Kemp, who is just your [...]

Superstitious Baseball

April 24th, 2008 – 4:32 pm Posted by LJ Dovichi

Like two peas in a pod, baseball and superstitions just go together. Could any two words be more synonymous than those? Superstitions are as much a part of baseball as following player stats and keeping the score. I know many people that will tell you that superstitions are just a lot of poppycock and nonsense, [...]

My early choice to win the Kentucky Derby, War Pass, is now out of the race. He has a minor fracture in one of his front legs. Although the break is not life-threatening, it does take the Juvenile Champion off the shelf for a few months.

On April 18, 1923, in New York City, more than 70,000 fans came to watch as Yankee Stadium opened. It quickly became one of the world’s most revered stadiums. As so many things happen in NYC, the stadium opened in dramatic fashion with Babe Ruth hitting a three-run home run that won the [...]

I do not think there has been a season in the NBA where a conference was as wild as it was this year in the West. The entire season teams were moving up and down the standings. Luckily for us, the regular season has ended, and the “real” season has begun. [...]
