The Earl of Baltimore

Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:31:37 -0600

Unpacking my suitcase Sunday morning after Ken and I returned from a cruise the night before, I imagined how Marianna Weaver must have felt aboard the cruise ship on which her husband Earl Weaver had expired early Saturday morning. I imagined her packing up his clothes and belongings, enduring one more day at sea before their ship docked again in the U.S., knowing her husband was not in their stateroom but ...

Baltimorean or not, my allegiance is with the Yankees

Fri, 12 Oct 2012 20:56:03 -0500

Geesh, it's been a war zone down here in Baltimore on my two facebook walls. Catching all kind of flak from my friends because I happen to have an allegiance to the Yankees even though I'm a Baltimore girl. Wearing my hot pink NY hat to the gym elicited a few negative sparks as well. I shouldn't have to explain my allegiance and yet I'm usually forced to.

My friends who are O's fans have been gloating and pushing my face in it when the Orioles won. I then gloated back each time the...

And nine makes a team

Mon, 03 Sep 2012 23:02:30 -0500

Ken finally has his own baseball team. New grandbaby Kenley Jane Singleton arrived in August to round out the Singletons.

So, we’ll put Ken in right field because that’s what he knows. Me … I’ll take shortstop because that’s the position I played in softball for years (plus SS are my initials). Son Justin can take his former position at second base because that was his spot in the minor leagues. Our daughter-in-law, Tricia, can be behind the plate, be...

American-proud emotional in D.C.

Fri, 15 Jun 2012 14:51:11 -0500

There is nothing more all-American than baseball. Unless you count watching baseball while in Washington, D.C., a city where an American can feel very proud to be a United States citizen. For all it symbolizes ... for all it holds ... for what it is ... the District of Columbia provides us with a mecca of red, white and blue emotion.

Fate and Facebook unite Italian cousins

Mon, 04 Jun 2012 22:46:28 -0500

Ken's special evening rewarding and touching

Sun, 25 Mar 2012 19:19:08 -0500

I admit, Ken and I were greatly anticipating meeting actor Denzel Washington Saturday night at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye Brook, N.Y., as hubby was slated to receive the 'Denzel Lifetime Achievement in Sports' award from the Boys Club Girls Club (BCGC) of Mount Vernon. And, I admit, I ...

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 10:02:29 -0600

Death sure has been reaching out its long pasty fingers too often lately to the baseball world. Here we are as fans and friends once again saying farewell to a legend too young to die.

I mostly remember Gary Carter and his w...

Ripken, Teixiera share same philosophy

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:50:39 -0600

We all heart-melt over a good non-profit cause, especially when we are face-to-face with the people so passionately standing behind it.

At the eighth annual Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation Aspire Gala February 10 in Baltimore, Cal and brother Billy Ripken, founders of this organization (ripkenfoundation.org) in honor of their father, described how they help to get kids off drug-infe...

So long, Mike Flanagan

Fri, 26 Aug 2011 23:33:21 -0500

We don’t think much about never seeing someone again when we part ways, matter-of-factly saying “See you later,” because we expect that we will.

Ken shook Mike Flanagan’s hand in that same fashion as they parted ways at New York’s Penn Station July 31 after the Oriol...
