Extra Life 2022 Is Right Around The Corner!

      Comments Off on Extra Life 2022 Is Right Around The Corner!

November is right around the corner, and that means it’s Extra Life time!!!

Once again Ryan and I are teaming up to raise money for the Children’s Specialized Hospital of New Jersey. This will be my 13th Extra Life event and Ryan’s 6th! In the past, you’ve helped us raise over $14,000 for sick kids in the Garden State, and we’re once again asking for your support.

Ryan during Extra Life 2021

This November 5th, Ryan and I will be playing and streaming video games until we drop. As of now, the plan is to start at 10am ET with a block of games with Ryan including Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons, Roblox, and other kid-focused games. Then as the day progresses, we’ll get into some Out of the Park Baseball, and MLB The Show. When the kiddies to go sleep, it’s going to be shooters into the early morning with Fortnite and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

There is also a chance that November 5th will be Game 7 of the World Series. If that happens, we’ll be doing a special watch-along stream with the voice of the Chatham Ironman, and TSG Crew for Extra Life member, Kris Jardine aka SnaggleJ.

Normally we try to play for 24 hours, but with a 6-year-old… and a 38-year-old, that’s not always possible. So, for any hours less than 24 that we play on November 5th, I’ll be making up on the night of November 19th with launch weekend play of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 with “the boys”.

Any donation, no matter the size, is extremely appreciated, and if you can’t donate, you can still help out by passing on this information to your friends.

Well, things have certainly changed a bit since the last episode of Bullpen Banter. With all this work from home goodness, my wife has taken over my office, and now I’m recording from a cardboard box in my dining room, LITERALLY!

12 Ballpark Summer

      Comments Off on 12 Ballpark Summer

Recently, I was clicking around Twitter and saw that @BaseballBrit had a Tweet showing off a map of all the professional baseball team is the U.S. and Canada.

Of course, I was reading this in the bathroom, and when I was clicking around, I realized that there were 12 teams within a 90 minute drive of my home/work. I figure that would make for a fun little challenge for 2020.

A couple should be pretty easy, especially the Jackals and Boulders. They are so close that I could hit those stadiums on a weeknight after work. A couple of the farther ones shouldn’t be too hard to hit a weeknight game, even if I have to leave work a little early.

I think this will be fun, not only because I get to see 12 ballparks, but I also get a taste of multiple levels of professional baseball, from the Independents, all the way up to Major League Baseball. Also, if I play my cards right with the Yankees’ and Mets’ games, I could knock two items off my Baseball Bucket List.

Stay tuned for updates…
