Who we are….
The writing staff consists of Eddie Gaedel, Charles Victory Faust & Karl Cicitto. The staff grew up together in Middletown, CT., as close as brothers, and first visited Fenway Park in August 1968 when Karl’s Mom took us to a double header against Jim Fregosi and the Angels.
That ride to Boston was an improvisation. We actually started for Cape Cod, but due to a rainy forecast at the beach we pursued an impulse to see the Red Sox.
We have been following that impulse for 40 years.
We believe in several things:
1. Baseball can teach good character.
2. Baseball has the power to bring together families, friends and strangers.
3. Every franchise, whether in Baltimore, Boston or Miami, has a tradition to be respected.
4. Good things come in little packages. (see: Pedroia).
5. And big packages. (see: Ortiz).

Hi,
I was a friend of Bill Calhoun for about 35 years and your write up was Bill. I want to thank the author but I don’t know who it is. I was thinking it was ” his pal, Dave” but he claims he didn’t do it. His widow Jesse and other friends think it may have been a co-worker. We would all like to know so we can express our appreciation.
Thank you,
Bob Viara

I love your blog. Your humanity, tone, and respect for the people and the game of baseball are refreshing. I enjoyed reading your comparison of Bobby Murcer and Yaz. Another Yankee whose playing time was cut short because of injuries and might have had a shot at the hall is Don Mattingly.
