US Open 2015 pre-tourney sponsor events/parties are continuing with Maria Sharapova opening a Sugarpova pop-up store at New York City’s flagship Bloomingdale’s. I must admit, I’ve actually tried a few varieties of Masha’s candy line and it’s pretty good. Additionally, it’s just great to see athletes expanding their brand beyond sports apparel, equipment and accessories. … Continue reading

Fairways and Forehands 2014 Top 25 WTA and LPGA Year In Review: #19 Jelena Jankovic and Angela Stanford
Like 2013, this year I will do a countdown of the top money list leaders from both the WTA and LPGA. Last year I did the top 30, but this year I will do the top 25. Note that as of this post, the retired Li Na has been removed from the WTA website money … Continue reading
Rory McIlroy Throws Out First Pitch At San Francisco Giants Baseball Game
Defending champion Rory McIlroy is in San Francisco, California for the 2012 United States Open. The former #1 golfer in the world took time out to throw out the first pitch at a San Francisco Giants baseball game. Not a bad throw, in my opinion. I also included a few US Open preview vids.

The JLPGA star said she was very nervous and apologized for not reaching the plate. My guess is she looked so kawaii that none of her fans care if she reached the … Continue reading
Ryan Harrison, First Pitch At Cincinnati Reds Game
He’s been called confident, emotional…even cocky. Ryan Harrison has also been called the future of American men’s tennis. In 2010, at age 18, he upset 15th seed Ivan Ljubicic in the 1st round of the US Open and should have won his second round match, but failed to convert 3 match points before losing a … Continue reading
Annika Sorenstam To Play In The 2011 Forsgate Foundation Charity Classic
This year Annika will be joined by future MLB Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr (I think it’s pretty safe to say he gets in first ballot, particularly piling up his numbers without any allegations of PED). The event will take place October 3rd and 4th at Forsgate Country Club. The primary beneficiary will be … Continue reading
The Hurt Game
One of the beautiful aspects of remembering the past glory of my sports heroes is that they are able to stay young forever. Even if they sojourn on well beyond their primes, and many do, the images that are most indelibly etched in my mind are those of youthful brilliance. This is not to say … Continue reading
