Baseball 

 Tim's son pitched three strong innings against Puerto Rico in the PONY Baseball Mustang World Series in Irving, TX.

You might be surprised to find Tim has written enough baseball columns to devote a whole page to the subject. But just as it is with many of you, the game is woven deeply into the fabric of his life. From the blacktop of his youth to the stands of the biggest ballparks to the bleachers at his son's baseball games, Tim spends a lot of time enjoying our national pastime. Here are some of his columns about the place baseball has in his world.

No. 8 at the Bat-- Perhaps Tim's personal favorite column. A Little League championship game puts Tim's son in Mighty Casey's shoes.

Cal Meets Cal-- A boy meets his ballplayer idol.

The Next Big Man In Baseball-- Too many dads think their kid will be the next great player. They're all wrong. Tim's kid is the one!

A Ruined Baseball Mitt-- The perfect glove, until something unforeseen happens to it.

No. 8 Knows the Score-- There's a perfectly good explanation for Tim's son's wet-noodle deliveries.

Little League Draft More Complicated Than You Think-- Tim spills the secrets of the youth baseball draft room! 

A Sox Fan's Lament-- I am a Sox fan. Or maybe I'm just a sap!

Taking All The Fun Out of Little League-- The season is ready to begin, but where are all the players?

The Other Cal-- Ripken sends Tim's son--and the rest of us--a message.

"Great" Moments in Sox History-- The Sox are in the Series. Let's look at their "glorious" past.
