One of the most incredible come-from-behind wins I've ever seen in baseball happened in last year's State Amateur Baseball Tournament when the "never say die" Faribault Lakers came from eight runs down to defeat Green Isle 9-8 to advance to the semifinals...

Joe Mauer's hitting statistics for the season indicate he is hitting much better in the two spot in the order and 53 RBI out of the three hole just isn't good enough at this juncture in the season. Mauer is batting .304 while second in the order and ...

We're looking forward to another great run of breakfasts at the Goodhue County Pork Producers building during the 154th Goodhue County Fair in Zumbrota. I'll be visiting with workers in the booth and some youth will stop by Wednesday through Friday and then Jerry Groskreutz will be there Saturday morning...

(The Twins Game has been rained out for Monday 6-1. It will be made up as a day night double header on Wednesday 6-3) I honestly thought the Twins would be improved this season, which really isn't saying much. But in no way did I think they would be in first place in June and have the best record (winning percentagewise) in the American League...

There were three visits during our trip to Italy where I experienced goose bumps. One was during worship, which I shared with you. Another was taking communion in the catacombs and the third was a stop by an American military cemetery just outside Florence...
