Jeffrey Dorsey — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:00:23 +0000

Yesterday marked the 37th anniversary of what is considered by many to be the greatest play ever made in Major League Baseball. The play never involved a ball, a bat or a glove but it will go down as one of the most memorable. It took place in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium on April [...]

Last Saturday the St. Louis Cardinals wore a different home uniform when they played the Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium. It was the first time in 80 years that the team wore an alternate uniform. The new uniform features the words “St. Louis” under the birds on the bat. The long-standing uniform they have been [...]

I don’t care what anybody says, there is nothing like opening night. Be it baseball, football, a play at the theatre or a music performance on stage. The excitement builds until it’s showtime!!!! Well, my opening night is today when the Quincy Park District opens the Batting Cage for the season. I love to frequent [...]

Jeffrey Dorsey — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 15:15:48 +0000

This should be a national holiday for America’s pastime. It’s opening day and thousands of Americans and Canadians will be heading through the turnstiles into ballparks as the 2013 Major League Baseball season gets underway today.

If you ever get the chance to go to Spring Training, whether it be the St. Louis Cardinals, the Chicago Cubs, or any other Major League Baseball team, you should make the trip.

Man Turns Boy Again!

Jeffrey Dorsey — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:10:57 +0000

We always hear about a boy becoming a man but we hardly ever hear about a man becoming a boy again. Such is the case for me this week as I turn into a kid again by heading to Florida. It's spring training time for Major League Baseball and I am going to be a part of it by heading to West Palm Beach, Florida

Pitcher's Mound Will Be Crowded This Season

With Spring Training underway this week, the playing of spring games will soon follow. Baseball has been slow to make changes to its game but there will be one change this season and that involves who can go to the pitcher’s mound during the game. Up until now it has always been the manager or [...]

Busch Stadium is the Best and Wrigley Field is the Worst in Cleanliness

Jeffrey Dorsey — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 16:56:53 +0000

A survey on stadium cleanliness was done of all Major League Ballparks. The UFE (Urine/Feces Everywhere) Team, an organization I have never heard of before, visited all 30 Major League Baseball parks to grade each one on cleanliness standards. The UFE Team studied the restrooms, facilities, vendors, and fans, using over 79 different criteria and they rated all 30 Major League Baseball parks. Of all 30 stadiums, the best rating belonged to Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The stadium with the worst rating was Wrigley Field in Chicago.

Having played baseball for some 26 years, I still feel like I can put the catchers gear on and get behind the plate again. As a matter of fact, the Quincy Gems have asked me to do just that for an exhibition game this summer. I still haven't agreed to that one yet, but I would love to.

For St. Louis Cardinal fans in the Y101 listening area, the memory of doing so is quite vivid in their minds. For Chicago Cub fans the beginning of the season is the best time of the year.
