Observing Baseball Classics

"The Baseball" Book Review In this entry I reviewed/summarized the entirety of the book “The Baseball: Stunts, Scandals, and Secrets Beneath the Stitches” written by Zack Hample.
10/19/10 ALCS: Yankee Stadium Sure I had no clue how to write it, but this was my first ballhawking entry ever and my only of 2010, so it falls under the category “classic”
Ballhawk Charities 2012 Where I went over the four ballhawk charities I had heard of at the beginning of the season as a way of helping them out by getting the word out.
Case Study on Morality in Baseball A research paper I did way back in the summer of 2010. I don’t necessarily agree with everything I wrote back then anymore, but it does add an interesting perspective to things especially in today’s steroid talk.
Collected Baseball Knick-knacks Quite simply: pretty much everything baseball-related that I had collected and managed to keep ahold of as of November, 20, 2011.
Dissecting/Deconstructing Baseballs I’ve taken apart several baseballs before, and it was fun, so I decided to make a video of me taking apart a baseball and adding tips for other people to do so too.
Favorite MLB Players I did probably one of my funner videos on who my favorite players were from the present day, when I first started watching baseball, and my favorite player that I never saw play at all.
Houlihan Park Tour and Snagging Analysis This is my high school, Fordham Prep,’s home field, which being the manager of the varsity team for three years, I spent proabably more games here than at any other baseball field. So when I returned to my high school for a day, I took a quick tour of the
Junior Ballhawk of the Year I won this award, and it was a great honor, so I wrote an entry about tthe fact that I won the award.
New Observing Baseball Icon Part 2 This is where I unveiled the icon that I use for…everything. Enough said.
Observing Baseball Trivia See the description of the link two links above, but modify it slightly so it fits this entry’s title.
Pitching Aces in the Playoffs My first ever “real” entry that I ever wrote back on the surplus of star pitchers in the 2010 playoffs. It was pretty good considering I knew nothing about blogging, or writing in general for that matter.
Pure Genius This is just me explaining how the Phillies got three aces of pitchers; nothing fancy. But it was me showing my first flash of general manager mind to the world, so that’s why I like it.
Sabermetrics (the explanation) This was me explaining some simple sabermetric statistics for the people of the world who have heard of the stats but never really knew what significance they had/have over the more common metrics. I take pride in this because it can potentially educate s
Survey of Adults Perception of Baseball I surveyed a bunch of my teacher as to which baseball player was there favorite; both in and outside of New York. It’s a bit more complex than that, but the only way to understand is to read the entry.
The Bergino Baseball Clubhouse The entry of my visit to an absolutely great New York baseball store.
Tour Target Field in the Snow Target Field is in Minnesota, so it only felt fitting that I should take at least one day to tour it while it was buried in the snow. And that’s what this entry was: a video of me going around Target Field while it was snowing and there was a ton of snow
Weird Observing Baseball Facts and Records I may yet do this every year…and it would then become its own link category–but for the meantime–there is only one set of Observing Baseball Facts and Records, so it definitely goes under “Observing Baseball Classics”.
