The ceremonial first pitch. Usually reserved for a celebrity or someone with celebrity-like status (a local hero, someone who has overcome adversity, etc.), the event is not intended to be a display of athleticism. More times than not, it does nothing more than put the "pitcher's" lack of athleticism on display. Some are more memorable than others, while some are remembered more for what

I think everyone can agree that the version of football we know and love here in the good ol' U-S-of-A is a violent sport. 300-plus pound men in helmets and pads running full throttle into one another in an attempt to put one in the win column for their team. When you take away the pads and helmets, but keep the speed and violent hits, you get Australian Rules Football.

Even if you're not a fan, there's something special about going to the ballpark and watching a game in person. It's not really one thing, but a combination of everything that makes it special regardless of whether your in St. Louis or Cincinnati or right here in Evansville taking in an Otters game at Bosse Field.

A game between the Nanaimo Timbermen and the Coquitlam Adanacs of the British Canadian Intermediate A indoor lacrosse league turned ugly when members of both teams let emotions get the better of them.

When it comes to sports, baseball ranks behind professional football, college football, high school football, flag football, and video game football on my list. I don't dislike the game, I just don't have a particular team I follow, and watching the games on TV can sometimes be as exciting as watching paint dry or grass grow. However, that doesn't mean it doesn't have more than its fair share of e

Northwestern Middle School 8th-grader, Chris Lewis is a freak of nature. The 14-year old son of former University of Georgia and New York Jets football star Mo Lewis stands 6'7" (that's four inches taller than me and 21 years younger) and can hit shots from the three point line as easily as he can block shots from under the basket.

Add another one to the list of most memorable first pitches in baseball.

The University of Oregon Ducks football program has become one of the premiere programs in college football with a record of 34-6 over the last three years including a win in the 2012 Rose Bowl. And while they may be one of the toughest teams in the country on the field, they may be the most pampered inside the locker room.

If I was ever given the opportunity to play a pickup game of football with members of the Colts, I'd be on the field before they even finished asking the question. Sure, I'd be totally out of my element and would probably drop more passes than I would catch, but the experience alone would leave me with a lifetime of memories. Fans of the North Carolina Tar Heels basketball team got that chance yes

If Ron Burgandy were a sports anchor (and Canadian), his name would be Jay Onrait.

If I sat down and wrote out a bucket list, throwing the ceremonial first pitch at a professional baseball game would certainly be on there somewhere (are you listening Evansville Otters?).
