Game Used: 1996 Bobby Valentine Jersey

World Series Champion: Houston Astros

Congrats to the players and fans to Houston. The town had a really rough time this year with Hurricane Harvey hitting and hopefully the extra revenue that was brought into Houston because of the playoffs and World Series helped. The Main Stream Media hasn’t really talked about the recovery of Houston since Harvey hit. Almost seems like they forgot about it. I’m glad Houston got to have a bright spot in 2017.

I’m also glad that Carlos Beltran got a World Series Ring. He’s one of those guys that deserved to get one. Just like Granderson deserved to get one if the Dodgers one.

Books: The Arena

Bergino Baseball Clubhouse Presents:




Inside the tailgating, ticket-scalping, mascot-racing, dubiously funded, and possibly haunted monuments of American sport


Thursday, November 9 @ 7:00 PM
The Arena
with author Rafi Kohan

“For one year, I traveled the United States visiting sports stadiums -- all manner of arenas, domes, ballparks -- for the purpose of writing a book. The idea was to go beyond the ball games and architectural blueprints to explore the inner workings of these steel and concrete structures that hover over our towns, imposing their will on landscapes and skylines, to better understand our relationship to them -- psychologically, economically, politically, culturally, historically -- as individuals, as cities, and as a society.”
-Rafi Kohan

Join Rafi Kohan for our intimate Clubhouse conversation on Thursday, November 9.

Sneak Peek: Mikkeller Brewery

Darren of the7line got to check out the progress of the newest tenant over at Cit iField.

From the7line:

I was invited for a tour last week -- hard hat and all -- to get the lay of the land at the new space. Standing in the skeleton of, what will be, a full service brewery and restaurant was pretty cool. In just a few short months (on track for an early 2018 opening) construction will be complete, and they'll be open for daily business.

"Our brewhouse, along with a third of our other tanks, is already in place," Hannah Goldman, operations analyst at Mikkeller NYC told me. "It’s a thrilling time for us; out in LA, we just launched a collaborative line of Twin Peaks-inspired beers with David Lynch. We’re excited for this next chapter on the East Coast."

I wouldn't label myself a beer snob, but when given the option, I'll almost always choose craft over something else. During road trips, I'll browse the list and choose something that's local. I know what bland brand X tastes like, but that first sip of something new is exciting.

Seems pretty cool and a good alternative to MFaddens...
