Vacation Over!

Aside

Okay, my vacation is over and I’ve gotten some freelance stuff done, so it’s time to get back to work. So come back tomorrow for the MVPs of Yesterday I’ve missed for awhile.

This summer, I’m writing a column on the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League.

Posted on June 10, 2016 by danglickman

You may have noticed that there haven’t been as many things here lately. Well, part of that is because I’ve been pretty busy with some freelance stuff. While it is now a bit calm again and I’ll hopefully be able to put more time onto the blog, I wanted to share one thing that is going to be near-constant during the next two months: a weekly notebook for the Messenger-Post papers on the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League. The PGCBL is a wooden-bat college summer league, and while it is fairly new (it started in 2011) and isn’t on the level of the Cape Cod League, it still has seen a lot of players drafted in the last few years and has a good level of play. So, here’s my first notebook on the league, which went up a few days ago.

My annual Memorial Day tribute goes to @HOVG!
