A baseball season mirrors life -- it is long and has many chances for redemption. I've been an Angels fan since 1961. This is a time when we find out who the true fans are.
The list continues to expand as Albert Pujols' name remains absent: Peter Bourjos and Kendrys Morales each have a home run for the Angels, and Chris Iannetta, Mark Trumbo and Howie Kendrick all have two.
I'm of the opinion that a fan should pick one team and ride that train from birth until death. One team per league is fine, but there should be one team that trumps all, without question.
Enough about Tom and Gisele, the real power couple in sports is the #1 golfer in the world Rory McIlroy and the former #1 tennis player in the world Caroline Wozniacki.

Dan Patrick on his show made an apt statement: you do not want to play poker with Arte Moreno. Congratulations to the superstar proprietor who put his money where his mouth is.
OK, now we've heard everything. Boise State moved into the Mountain West Conference, but they won't be allowed to wear their traditional blue jerseys. They play on a blue football field. Too much blue?
When Mets' General Manager Sandy Alderson introduced new manager Terry Collins to the media on Tuesday morning, I got about as excited for spring training as I ever have in my life.
In case you missed it, the 20th perfect game in major league history was thrown Saturday night in Florida by Roy Halladay of the Phillies.
Jerry Manuel's job with the Mets is safe... at least for the moment. He didn't crack under the pressure.
The great Ty Cobb was born on this date in 1886. Against today's pitchers he'd probably bat only .280 or so. Then again, he'd be 123 years old.
