An interesting trend has emerged from the clouds of the recession, a silver lining for sports and music fans. It turns out that more fans are going to more events -- and doing so at lower prices.
Matsui is one of those rare superstars who recognize the unique role his astonishing talent has given him and the good he can do for others.
Hold on to your hats, folks, I'm getting ready to be brilliant. I have the answer to the health care debate. No, really! Last Saturday, the House n...
Which comes first, the return of the NFL to Los Angeles or pro basketball to New York?
Last week ended with a grand and glorious finale - a ticker tape parade tribute to the NY Yankees and their dedicated fans, and for this caterer, a day to be swept up in the enthusiasm.
When you are eight years old and your team is in the World Series you are in heaven.
I am obsessed with always looking at why and how people lead. Small businesses and corporations alike might consider looking at the success of the Yankees.
The Yankees clearly have many, many great years ahead of them, and likely will for generations to come. But the game just doesn't feel the same anymore.
The temperature in New York is 48 degrees as I begin to write this, three hours before the start of the sixth game of the World Series at Yankee Stadi...
It is bad enough that every baseball player feels that he has to spit every ten seconds, but why do we have to see the face of the pitcher or the batter before every pitch as he is spitting?
Read the sports pages today and you'll find a whole lot of jealous Yankee haters moaning and whining about the Yankees' payroll. But business is the business of America.

I could say that after five games, the Fox network broadcasts of the 2009 World Series are really getting on my nerves -- but that would be dishonest.

Johnny Damon joined Enos Slaughter in the annals of great World Series base running plays, stealing second and then third base on one play.
Stand Up To Cancer's call-to-action at Saturday's World Series game tapped into the best of baseball, and the best in corporate sponsorship on an issue that affects us all.
New York became a black-hole-like force, sucking the energy from Philadelphia, stealing everything from our college grads to tourists. New York got Broadway, the UN, the World's Fair -- and baseball.
They've now played two games of the 2009 World Series -- or, as Ring Lardner used to call it, the World Serious -- and I think we can say that we've already learned a few interesting things from the opening contests.
