BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

Thanks for playing for the Yankees, Tex!


Have always been a fan of Mark Teixeira even when he was playing for the Texas Rangers. I was ecstatic when he came to the Yankees in 2009 that became one of my fave pin-striped squads (they also had Nick Swisher who is one of my faves, CC Sabathia, and AJ Burnett). That incredible season ended with a World Series title. And it was a nerve-wracking battle with Philly for the championship.
