Today is a great day for baseball and for America, as we celebrate one of our proudest moments as a society: the day Jackie Robinson integrated baseball. April 15th, 1947 was a landmark day for equality in America, breaking down segregation in baseball and paving the way for the civil rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther [...]
Everyone has at least one guy on their fantasy team who screws them every year. This year, my guy is Brian Roberts. He’s been a steady second baseman for his whole career, and there was no reason to believe that would change any time soon. But Brian Roberts had different ideas, and he’s now on [...]
Hi everyone, and welcome to our first installment of Great Moments in Trash Talking. In honor of baseball finally being in full swing, pun intended, I thought I’d tell you the story of my favorite piece of trash talking in baseball’s greatest rivalry.

Dearest Grace,
I received your letter several days ago, but decided to let it’s message sink in for a while before replying. I can’t tell you how much your words meant to me. I want to let you know that I understand how you feel. I have often wondered what would happen if we were to [...]
Grace Dunkley-Asphall is a poet and writer who I happened to work with a few years ago. Since we both run our own blogs, we decided to do a swap in which we would post on each other’s sites. Here is Grace’s entry for TOF. Stay tuned for part II when I post a rebuttal [...]
