By Jack Healey I didn’t see all the induction speeches at the Baseball Hall of Fame yesterday, but I did see the speeches by Edgar Martinez,Lee Smith and Mariano Rivera and they were all outstanding! I went to the Hall of Fame once and that was back in 1977. I hope to get back some […]
By Jack Healey I had a great vacation and I’m all set to get back to work. I watched the entire baseball All Star Game for the first time in about 25 years. Maybe longer…. Still read miles and miles of mindless drivel on facebook and twitter! Geez Joe Buck and John Smoltz are great, […]
By Jack Healey Congratulations to the US women’s soccer team. They won and they deserved it. They deserve all the accolades and the parade up “The Canyon of Heroes” is an honor that not everybody gets. I was rooting for them, but I still don’t think they were that likable. If they don’t want to […]
By Jack Healey The London Series is over and quite frankly it ended the way I thought it would. All in all it was a very successful event and the Cubs and Cards will play there next year, but as somebody pointed out to me on Saturday if London loves baseball so much why was […]

By Jack Healey I think the Tampa Bay/ Montreal discussion is ridiculous! It will never fly and do you think the Major League Players Association would ever go for that? Of course not! What free agent would ever sign with a team that would split its home games in two different locations, two different countries […]
By Jack Healey The best trade over the weekend was Edwin Encarnacion going to the Yankees, not Anthony Davis going to the Lakers! With Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge coming back this week Encarnacion makes an already awesome line-up even awesomer!!! On top of that the Yankees gave-up virtually nothing to get Encarnacion. It’s the […]
By Jack Healey Well the Toronto Raptors are the NBA champions and as was the case with the St. Louis Blues the night before they deserved it. Like St. Louis, Toronto also won three games on the road which is actually more difficult in the NBA than it is in the NHL. I went with […]
By Jack Healey The St. Louis Blues are the Stanley Cup champs and quite frankly they deserved it. They won three of four games on the road including game 7. I thought the Bruins would win the series in 6 and I certainly thought they’d win game 7, but it wasn’t to be. One team […]
