You expect many things when you go to a minor league baseball game, like the bathroom stall to be broken in the Ladies restroom, and the new Dickey-Stephens Park didn’t disappoint. We arrived at the game just in time to see the fighter jet fly over the field. Of-course we were still on [...]

Major League Baseball has entered an agreement with Apple to allow them to sell sports highlights to its iTunes Store for $1.99. The content will include a “MLB.com Daily Rewind” highlight show, as well as two weekly “Game of the Week” full-length games. I’m not sure what the advantage of this is to…say getting [...]

The die hard fans of the Arkansas Travelers have barely dried the tears from their eyes after a sad farewell to the historic Ray Winder Field (doh - I originally put War Memorial. I know better and I’m really embarrassed at how many people read this post before I made the change) at the [...]

If you’ve read my Logue at all, you know that I LOVE baseball. Seriously, check the posts here, here, here, here, here and here. And that doesn’t count the random references I’ve made to the great American pastime in other places. Ridiculous, huh? I also think Kevin Costner’s speech to Susan [...]

By Carrie Thompson | September 28th, 2006 | Add a Comment »
I’m not a big fan of the Astros (I’m a Braves girl, that should explain it all), but lots of business travelers visit Houston frequently so I feel obliged to tell you all about Minute Maid Park. It’s the coolest baseball stadium I’ve ever seen, and therefore a great opportunity to impress clients and [...]
New Busch Stadium vs. Old Busch Stadium
By Carrie Thompson | September 20th, 2006 | 3 Comments »
It’s really funny to distinguish between the past and present homes of the St. Louis Cardinals by using the names Old Bush Stadium and New Busch Stadium.
