Remembering a great coach
I’m sure it happens to everyone to varying degrees as we get older, but, in recent years, I’ve grown far more reflective. Losing my Mom 10 years ago, and pondering the countless ways she shaped the person I am, was where this began. My wife and me sharing our children’s various life milestones, especially as they’ve gotten older, is certainly another ma…
Catching up with Jack McKeon
There are few names that can pop up on my caller ID that bring a bigger smile to my face than Jack McKeon. So I was delighted to get a call from Jack to catch up last week.

Jazz is back. Now what?
Jazz Chisholm has been activated from the IL and should be in the lineup tonight, when the Marlins begin a 6-game road trip with the first of 3 against the Red Sox. The 25-year-old center fielder has missed the club’s last 39 games since suffering a turf toe injury May 13.

A tale of 2 franchises
