First Pitch: Day Sixty Eight – The Pittsburgh Bob Nuttings

First Pitch
We’re on Jaromir Jagr day of the MLB lockout. This week, MLB owners plan to meet on Tuesday-Thursday in Orlando, which is actually where I live. This week, me and the MLB owners will pool our collective billions of dollars in resources to decide if we’re ever going to yield…

First Pitch: Day Sixty Seven – EndlessPursuit
