Baseball Digest Articles

BASEBALL DIGEST RESIZED.jpg

You can read articles I've written for Baseball Digest by clicking HERE . Some of them are about various Chicago Cubs, others are about MLB players in general.

Prose and Ivy on YouTube

Occasionally, videos will post to the site accompanying the written articles. Here's one dedicated to The Hawk's induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame from January of 2010. Check it out!

And watch this video to see what happened when I offered baseball fans the chance to talk my 10-month-old son out of being a Cubs fan!

Singin’ the Stretch!

Ah 1, And Ah 2, And Ah 3...SING IT WITH ME NOW!

Book Proposal

You can read my book proposal here: http://tinyurl.com/65wc8no. It's all about putting it all on the line when it comes to the Cubs! Bloggers at http://onedayatwrigley ac000000.mlblogs.com also love March Madness betting at the sportsbook as well as Sports betting on baseball! You can read about my Vegas honeymoon experience betting on Cubs games (what a story that is) here! As far as the book's concerned, I would even take it a step further and bet the author fees and royalties on the Cubs winning the World Series if a publishing company took me up on it. It'd be a crazy experience to be sure. Check it out! http://tinyurl.com/65wc8no
