A Southern Shortstop in Los Angeles
They did it. The Dodgers won the World Series. It took 3 trips in 4 years, but they finally did it. And, for me, it’s the first time that a major league team I’ve been behind has won the World Series. I remember the years when the Smokies almost made their way to a championship … Continue reading World Series Game 6
That was more like it. The game was exciting but not too nerve racking…except when we got to the last couple innings and I was terrified – along with the rest of Los Angeles – that Roberts was gonna send Jansen in. I read on the internet – so it probably isn’t true – that … Continue reading World Series Game 5
Ok…so before I get to the thing everyone writing about the World Series wants to write about, let me just say a few words about Game 3. We. Won. We. Should. Have. We just played better baseball and the score reflected that. It was a communal effort – even Barnes, who’s primarily a defensive asset, … Continue reading World Series Games 3 & 4
So y’all may be wondering what’s been happening to Hashtag Baseball Boy while I’ve been busy writing about the World Series. Last Wednesday, the same night as that gosh awful game 2 that the Dodgers lost, the next episode of At Home with Maya with me in it aired. That was the episode where they … Continue reading Matteo’s Weight Loss Program Goes on TV
Meanwhile, Sabrina’s show opened in the gallery on the 20th (that’s the same night as the first game of the World Series, just to put it into context.) Sabrina joked to me that they would have set the price of “Portrait of a Baseball Player” higher if they’d known that the model was going to … Continue reading The Painting Sells
I’d be lying if I said that I never stopped believing. Last Thursday was such a crazy day for me that it didn’t quite sink in that the Dodgers had dug themselves into a 3-1 hole. It wasn’t until I woke up Friday morning that I fully grasped the situation…and we know the odds of … Continue reading World Series Games 1 & 2
My day after I blew up Maya Bedrossian’s Facebook page because of how I looked on TV in boardshorts was starting to feel endless when, after I’d finished with Jacob and Matteo, I headed back into the pool house to change. I looked at the time: it was 4:45 and the 4th game of the … Continue reading #baseballboy is Born (last part)
Following my meeting with Sandy and Maya Bedrossian the afternoon after I got famous on Facebook, I went outside, where Jacob was already waiting for me. So were Ethan and the crew…although I didn’t know why they were filming on Thursdays when they usually did that earlier in the week. “We’ll get some coverage of … Continue reading #baseballboy is Born (part 3)
The afternoon after my appearing shirtless on At Home with Maya blew up my boss’ Facebook page, I was early for the meeting Sandy called me in for that morning. Belen opened the side door to let me into the house, and, I’m probably imagining it, but I think she gave me a look like … Continue reading #baseballboy is Born (part 2)
Wednesdays are when I usually see Cody and Noah, but they both cancelled because of the NLCS. It only happens once a year…and I gotta admit that I wanted to see the game too. I’m glad I did. It made up in a big way for the way the team played in the first two … Continue reading #baseballboy is Born (part 1)
