It is the age-old argument that will never go away amongst baseball aficionados a/k/a baseball fans. And that is, the comparison of individual players from different eras in which they played, as opposed to those who compete presently. What fascinates fans is that there is no right or wrong answer, thus the perpetuation of the argument and the historic relevance of players in Major League Baseball, unlike any other professional or amateur sport.
We’re nine months from first kick and I’ve already got a complaint about the new Philadelphia MLS team. Philadelphia Union? Hell, even a simple FC Philadelphia sounds better. I’d also settle for Philadelphia Athletics or Philadelphia 1776. Unfortunately, the massholes already took Revolution but surely there’s a better name than Union. When I watch the beautiful game, I don’t want to be reminded of hard work, The Jungle, or Frank Sobotka.

Have you ever had a bad case of writer’s block? So much so, that it was beginning to affect your overall personality? For the last week, I have been hashing article ideas out in my head. I wrote a bunch of first paragraphs on a variety of topics but could never close the deal. Then it hit me. It was time to take these random thoughts and once again come with “A Sports Medley”.

The blank page is a void we must fill.
The empty stadium is a palace we must glorify.
The abandoned, snow-dusted field is just cause for melancholy.
I saw a great movie once, one line always stuck out, more than the others. “Nature’s cruel, Staros.”
Nature’s cruel. The two characters talking represent the dualistic nature of man. Yeah, two thumbs up.
