Enjoying opening day game at Rangers ballpark in Arlington.

John Paul Helm: A couple months ago my friend John had a staph infection take over his body that almost cost him his life. This young father of three has spent several weeks of being on a ventilator. He’s lost a leg and a large portion of his skin. He’s yet to get out of [...]

Last night Major League Baseball umpire Jim Joyce made one of the worst calls in baseball history.  His mistake at the end of the Detroit Tigers vs Cleveland Indians game cost Tiger’s pitcher Armondo Galarraga a perfect game.  A perfect game is nearly impossible and in all of MLB history there have only been 12. With [...]

Today is officially the start of baseball season, and I’d like to take a moment to wish everyone a happy start to the 2010 baseball season. Even though I’m not a Red Sox fan, I still enjoyed last night’s game and seeing the Boston Red Sox come from behind to beat the New York Yankees [...]

It was a good year for the Rangers. They did better than anyone expected, but still came up a little short in the end. I’m thinking the Rangers should have bought the Morgan family season tickets, because they didn’t lose a single game that we attended. They could have gone undefeated for the season! I’m [...]

Happy Opening Day! Although they did play one game last night, today officially starts the 2009 Major League Baseball season. The Morgan family loves watching baseball, especially the Texas Rangers. Many evenings you’ll find us outback playing a pickup game of whiffle-ball.   I love the story of the Bill Veeck. Bill used to own [...]

I got spammed yesterday. Fifty-seven times someone posted on the comment sections of my blog a link for “cheap Canadian Viagra.” It took me a couple of hours to delete all of them. I had to turn on the “word verification” for comments. I don’t know about you, but I hate doing word verification just [...]

T-ball. Could there be any form of baseball that’s more pure? There are no steroids (unless you think “Sweet Tarts” are a bit questionable). There is no obsession with winning. And, somehow, everyone wins every game. Sweet, simple and untainted, that’s what t-ball is. I have been blessed to coach all four of my boys [...]

Growing up my brother Bruce and I watched a lot of baseball. The Atlanta Braves were the team we watched because they were the only ones on television. Guys like Dale Murphey, Bob Horner and Ray Hubbard were just a few of the guys we pulled for. Today it doesn’t matter who the teams are, [...]

Growing up, I remember my brother and I laying in the floor watching the Atlanta Braves play baseball on TBS. It was the only baseball that was on television at the time. We watched every game we could. I also remember whenever the Atlanta Braves played the Chicago Cubs it was always a day game. [...]
