Last night I watched a documentary that I knew would be tough to watch but that I knew I could relate to. It’s an HBO documentary called Nine Innings to Ground Zero and it’s available on “HBO On Demand” for those of you in the US. I’m sure you can order it from Amazon or […]

August 8, 2007 by 6 Comments
For me, watching 43 year old Barry Bonds majestically hit his 756th career home run 435 feet and break the most cherished record in sports last night was surreal.
