We’re halfway through the seventh inning. Stretch, then tell me your favorite baseball legend (or become a Fan on Facebook) before the end of the week and you might be trading a mention of a baseball great for a bound tale of a Templar hero.
Comments (0) Baseball is full of legends. Legendary players, stories too incredible to be true, and rumors… such thrilling drama sometimes surrounds the game. I have always loved reading the lore of baseball and learning the nuances of the game in different eras. It’s partly what led me to write Baseball From A to Z. But baseball [...]
We’re halfway through the sixth inning. Did you speak in baseball recently? Is your accent more Yankees or Mets? Share with me something you say in regular conversation that is all about baseball (or become a Fan on Facebook) before the end of the week and you might be saying “Play ball!” with a Templar.
Comments (0) It’s out! No, no, it’s didn’t strike out, it’s out out! The book, Off Like the Wind: The First Ride of The Pony Express arrived in bookstores yesterday, February 16. Why the baseball reference? Are you visiting my site for the first time? (Hey, if so, welcome!)
Well, I will tell you: Baseball From A to [...]
We’re halfway through the fifth inning. I want to know what you track in baseball time. What do you associate with baseball season? What happens in Spring, Summer or Fall to make you think “Oh right, that means baseball”? Share with me (or become a Fan on Facebook) before the release date of my next [...]
Comments (1) I have two books coming out back to back — kind of like a doubleheader in the publishing world. Off Like the Wind: The First Ride of The Pony Express arrives in bookstores on February 16, mere days before spring training starts, and Baseball From A to Z arrives on March 23, just two weeks [...]
We’re halfway through the fourth inning. I want to know which illustration on my site (or in my books) speaks to you. Share with me (or become a Fan on Facebook) and get ready for Baseball season and my upcoming picture book: Baseball From A to Z. You might end up taking a Templar [...]
Comments (0) Not much on first glance, it’s true. Baseball hadn’t even turn professional when Daniel Boone made that famous run. But then you might think: Well, Michael, there is a lot of running in both Baseball and in Daniel Boone’s story. And then you might follow that up with, Hey, Michael, don’t you have beautifully-illustrated books [...]
We’re halfway through the third inning. I want to know one of your baseball memories. Share with me (and whomever else) and get ready for Baseball season and Baseball From A to Z. I might trade you a Templar for memory. C’mon!
Comments (3) I don’t think any sport conjures up more pleasant memories than baseball. Whether you played it as a kid, watch it as an adult or take your kids to t-ball games, baseball is an indelible part of our culture. I can remember as a young boy falling asleep to the dulcet tones of Hall-Of-Fame Announcer [...]
