The Bronx Is Up and the Battery’s Down

Hey, Scott. When do you leave town again? I'll send baseball tidbits to you while you're overseas. Things you might have missed. like this--did you know that on the morning of his major league debut, a start against the Yankees at the stadium last Saturday, Reds pitcher Daryl Thompson and a few other rookie teammates decided it would be fun to take the subway instead of the team bus from their midtown hotel? Hey, why not? Except they ended up going the wrong way and ended in Brooklyn, standing on the platform and asking people how to get to Yankee Stadium (practice?). They were set straight by the helpful locals and got to Yankee Stadium at 11am, two hours before his start. And then he blanked the Bombers for six innings. YOu can't make this stuff up. And that's why I love the game..... - Stevie Baseball

Bronson Arroyo

Since this is a baseball blog with a musician's touch, it seems more than appropriate to give a shout out to one of our favorite baseball musicians - Bronson Arroyo.

Let these videos whet your appetite for a little off-the-mound Arroyo action. - Rocpile
