Again, let it be said that I do occasionally feature sports history on my blog.  On this date in 1957, the famous Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain was officially opened.  This was built to replace the aging Camp de Les Corts stadium.  Interestingly enough, Handel’s Messiah was performed in honor of the opening.  It was able to fit 100,000 people […]

I absolutely had no idea about this particular sports feature (big shock since I don’t follow sports!).  Manon Rheaume became the first woman to play in the NHL.  Here’s what happened.  She is a Canadian goalie that had a dream.  She played in the minor leagues in various places, but Tampa Bay Lightning signed her as a free agent.  She […]

Even though I am not a sports fan, this story truly did interest me.  On this date in 1960, Amos Alonzo Stagg retired as a football coach.  Here’s the truly amazing part.  He was 98 years old!  He had been with the game almost from the beginning of the sport.  He played football in Yale University, and was selected to […]

Today’s feature is something I don’t remember hearing, but I don’t normally follow baseball or Little League news.  Danny Almonte was born in the Dominican Republic, and in 2000, he moved to the Bronx in New York.  He started playing on a Little League baseball team, and his father (who had been in New York for six years already) was […]

I am not a sports fan, as you know, but this is a great day in history for lovers of sports and their most well-known magazine.  On this date in 1954, the first Sports Illustrated magazine was published.  This was the first magazine of its kind.  In other words, there was no national magazine that covered sports until this magazine […]

I was just telling my mom how sometimes I will cover topics that don’t really interest me because they are of interest to my readers.  Sports happens to be one of those topics.  So I made up my mind to cover a sports history feature, and this one actually fascinates me (and would my daughter as well)!  On this date […]

  My daughter is an outdoors girl all the way, and so when I got the chance to review Tipz Helmet Accessories, I jumped at the chance.  All they asked was that I provided my honest review in exchange for the free products.   Do you have a child that doesn’t like to wear his/her helmet?  My daughter is fine with […]
