Thanksgiving 2020

For ‘real’ Thanksgiving – the one that came yesterday, as opposed to the one we had for the show last week – I had to do without two very important traditions. This would be the fourth year running that I wasn’t at home with my family…and there was no turkey bowl this year, either. After … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2020 →

Thanksgiving At Home with Maya

It may seem pretty dang weirdass, but I’ve already had Thanksgiving dinner this year. And a week ago Monday. The Sharpmans did it that way so that the Thanksgiving show would be ready to air tonight, the night before Thanksgiving. Me and Keaton are going up to Joyce’s tomorrow, but, for the time being, I’ve … Continue reading Thanksgiving At Home with Maya →

The Dirt Interview

So today was the big day: the day I became an on-camera reporter for At Home with Maya. If I knew it was going to get this complicated, I might not have suggested that we build a 2-base base path behind the pool house so I could teach Jacob to slide and so he could … Continue reading The Dirt Interview →

The Backyard Base Path (part 2)

When Jacob asked me if I could teach him to slide, I thought of an idea I had for my baseball resort: a base path with a base at one end and a home plate at the other so people could practice sliding and baserunning without taking up a whole diamond. I typed up a … Continue reading The Backyard Base Path (part 2) →

The Backyard Base Path (part 1)

If some of y’all missed last week’s show, it showed me and Jacob working outside on baseball skills. Matteo’s segment was about diet and nutrition and how to live on 850 calories a day, and he lost another pound at his weigh-in. There was also a nice Veteran’s Day segment about Maya’s brother, who’s a … Continue reading The Backyard Base Path (part 1) →

My 28th Birthday (last part)

I thought that my birthday was over on Sunday (which was the 8th), and that there wouldn’t have any celebrations on the next day like I had for the past couple years when the guys took me out the 9th. Turns out I was wrong: when I got to the Sharpmans, Dr. Peterson told me … Continue reading My 28th Birthday (last part) →

My 28th Birthday (part 1)

Keaton got what he wanted this year: I didn’t go around telling everyone that it was gonna be my birthday. That’s not because I agree with him that it’s gayass to tell people when your birthday is…it’s that I don’t see enough people to tell them that November 8th is coming up and that I’m … Continue reading My 28th Birthday (part 1) →

November Rent

Although most things are going pretty well for Hashtag Baseball Boy here, I’ve got one very big problem: the rent. Y’all know that in September someone – I still don’t know who – paid it for me. That meant that I had money left over from September to help pay for October’s rent. This month … Continue reading November Rent →

Matteo’s Diet: Weeks 1 & 2

With all the excitement over the Dodgers, I didn’t get to write anything about the aftermath of last week’s episode of At Home with Maya…and now there’s been another show on, too. Last week’s show had the footage of me and Jacob playing Marco Polo in the pool, so that meant that I appeared with … Continue reading Matteo’s Diet: Weeks 1 & 2 →

Halloween 2020

Joyce decided to do Halloween different this year. After that amazing haunted house she made for me two years ago, and after it just being the two of us last year, she decided to make it into a little party…with costumes, games…plus masks and social distancing…and only three guests: me, Keaton and Mrs. LaSalle, who … Continue reading Halloween 2020 →
