Jeffrey Dorsey — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:31:09 +0000

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.

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 [...]

So here it was, Sunday afternoon and I was home watching the snow pile up and listening to the Cardinal game on KHMO from spring training in Jupiter, Florida. How weird was that? I'm shoveling my driveway while Mike Shannon was doing the play-by-play of the Cardinals-Mets game in 90 degree temperatures.

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

Cardinal's Chris Carpenter Down For Good?

Jeffrey Dorsey — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 21:41:17 +0000

His name is Christopher John Carpenter. He’s from Exeter, New Hampshire. He’s 6’6 and weighs 230 pounds and he pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals. His teammates simply call him “Carp”. Next to Bob Gibson, you would be hard pressed to find a more competitive pitcher than Chris Carpenter. Unfortunately, despite all of his strength, [...]

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.
