John Tripp, My Best Friend, Passed Away Four Years Ago Today. 'Miss Ya Buddy!'

Jeffrey Dorsey — Thu, 16 May 2013 14:53:08 +0000

Four years ago I lost my best friend and hundreds of others did likewise with the passing of John Tripp. I started to write a blog about John this morning, but I kept deleting what I was writing. I finally decided that what I wrote last year still fits today so if what you read next sounds familiar, it is. I wrote it from my heart a year ago and the words still say everything I want to say today so here it is.

Mike Shannon Named a Missouri Sports Legend

To be a Hall of Famer is one thing but to be named a Sports Legend in the State of Missouri is another. I recently received an invitation to travel to Springfield, Missouri to attend the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame Banquet to witness former St. Louis Cardinal Rightfielder/Third Baseman and current Cardinal Broadcaster Mike Shannon be named the 26th Missouri Sports Legend for the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.

We Really Are All Americans in Times Like This

When I heard about two explosions in Boston during the Boston Marathon Monday afternoon, it brought back flashbacks of 9-11 all over again. Innocent people killed and maimed for no reason at all. It also brought out the anger in me in that I wanted this person (or these persons) to suffer for it, as well. God would not have been proud of me for what I was thinking.

Put a Spring Training Trip on Your Bucket List

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. I just returned from my second Spring Training venture in 3 years through Destination Travel and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

Man Turns Boy Again!

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

Join the Big Dog to See the Cardinals and Yankees in Spring Training

Jeffrey Dorsey — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 22:16:50 +0000

I was fortunate enough to be able to play baseball for 24 years and even today I start to get the bug to oil up my glove and play some catch. Every January my friends would be into hockey and basketball but not me. It was time to think baseball. And so it is again as I prepare to head south in a few weeks to Spring Training in Florida.

Today Should Be a Yankee Fan's Holiday

Jeffrey Dorsey — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:55:52 +0000

Anyone who knows me knows that I am one of the biggest New York Yankee fan around in this area. I live and die Yankee pinstripes. It is that dedication that makes today a national holiday for all New York Yankee fans. That’s because on this day 93 years ago, the Boston Red Sox, of all teams, [...]

Hey Cardinal Fans, It's Only a Game!

Jeffrey Dorsey — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:45:52 +0000

I know you are all waiting to hear from me today regarding the collapse of my beloved New York Yankees. Yogi Berra said “it ain’t over ’til it’s over”. Well, it’s over. He also said “It’s gettin’ late early”. Well it’s past late. For those who think I am heading into depression, “forgetaboutit”. It’s only [...]

Everyone Needs An Idol

Jeffrey Dorsey — Mon, 14 May 2012 19:45:38 +0000

When I was growing up in New York as kid I was a huge New York Yankee fan and I am even more of a fan now that I am some 15 hundred miles away from the House that Ruth built in the Bronx. With that said, I was reading today that on this date [...]

Now the "Moose" Has Been Silenced

Jeffrey Dorsey — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:55:18 +0000

The picture says it all. On April 27th, former major leaguer Bill Skowron passed away at the age of 81. The “Moose” as he was known played for several teams including the Washington Senators, The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. The picture shows the Yankees giving “The Moose” a moment of silence [...]
