Well, MLB’s showcase All Star game is done and we officially commence the second half of the 2022 baseball season. If you didn’t see it, you missed a very entertaining game. Of all the major league sports, MLB by far, puts on the best All Star game and this year was no exception. Of course, …
I recently attended a baseball game at Dodger Stadium where I thoroughly enjoyed the Dodgers come from behind victory over the Chicago Cubs in extras.

“Ch-ch-changes There’s gonna have to be a different man Time may change me But I can’t trace time” With age comes a certain amount of wisdom and I think I know what Bowie was talking about.
