The Beginning of the Robcasting Radio Blazin' Baseballapalooza!

It's silly, but it's often the little things.

I'm beginning a crazy stretch of games, and I'm quite excited about it. I'll do four games tomorrow and four more on Sunday. Then either one or two more on Monday, two on Tuesday, and one more on Wednesday.

Then I'll take a break.

But why the picture of mechanical pencils?

Everyone has their own play-by-play and scorekeeping style. We've established that fact many times here.

I've frankly never understood those who can do a baseball scorebook in pen. Some have the space to do multiple colors. I'm lucky if I use a pen for the lineup and pencil for the details.

So having a pencil I can rely on matters.

Many years ago, while a young buck at Kraft Foods, I came across these Pentel mechanical pencils that served me well. I also discovered that I needed to use a 0.5 led because my writing style was too firm for anything else.

Eventually -- literally after 20 years or so, all of the Pentel's I had fell apart.

So I treated myself to a new two-pack of Pentel pencils. It was $11 well spent.

It's the little things.

You might see these guys hanging around Stamford tomorrow (2016 picture).

With Fairfield American Little League losing to Max Sinoway tonight, I'll be at Stamford's Cubeta Stadium tomorrow for Babe Ruth baseball action. On Sunday, I'll be back at Trumbull's Unity Park for FALL and Darien. What happens Monday will depend on how Sunday turns out.

I'll do my best for posts over the next two days, but with games going all day, it could be difficult.
