My latest blog post, on the World Cup and my problems with soccer in general: When it gets cold in the Midwest, they do not say the temperature is “5 degrees below nil.”

It's "Star Wars Day" at Camden Yards in Baltimore. The Orioles depicted Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as Darth Vader...

@Scoreart01 Wow, Chris, great stuff! Has a real 3D look to it.

This one was a bit of a challenge: From a 2015 game I saw in Oakland imagined on the original Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena scoreboard. #digitalart @VintScoreboards https://t.co/5o9tZcemjq

Still my favorite all-time tweet;

Been awhile since I created a new one, after a winter full of hockey broadcasts. This is Tampa Stadium's scoreboard, circa 1978, based on a game I saw in 2013 at RJ Stadium. #digital_art https://t.co/gM0pxbGZ06

A rare blog post from yours truly, on subjects about which I am deeply saddened: the cancellation of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and the shuttering of CBS News Radio.

Im beginning to wonder if the number Stephen Colbert is thinking of is zero…

Wow … what a turn of events for the Boston sports scene: First-round playoff exits for both the Celtics and the Bruins, an April managerial firing for the last-place Red Sox, and the Patriots roiling in an ethics scandal.

Proud to display this memorable Rick Monday moment at Dodger Stadium

Dodger Stadium now has THREE ribbon boards, mostly for more advertising, of course. But one good thing has been the addition of hits and errors to the linescore on the first- and third-base sides of the lower ribbon.

50 years ago, on April 26, 1976, Rick Monday of the Cubs, playing in at Dodger Stadium, snatched the American flag away from two men who were trying to set the flag on fire.
When Monday came to bat an inning later, the message board read: "Rick Monday...You made a great play..."

The Dodgers & Giants head-to-head all-time in the regular season is tied, 1,288 wins each (with 19 ties, h/t @EliasSports)

When the Dodgers led, 1,288 to 1,287, last year, it was the first time they led the all-time head-to-head since after a game on Aug 8, 1896, when they led 49-48
