The start of the baseball season is always something that washes over me and encompasses the air that I breath. No one notes this more then my wife and as the month closes I know one thing it’s not just baseball that makes this month fly by. It’s NHL playoffs, Strat-o-matic and the fact that the rainforest I live in actually starts to allow the locals to spend some time outside underneath the seldom seen sun.

Throughout the year I’ll have some folks drop by and fill in some the empty air here. Today I’m handing the site over to Jason, who will be tracking trends in offense and defense this year for the league in relation to the Reds. Well be updating it every month around the first and the 15th.

Should be interesting, and here it is.

The game has always been tracked in the press, from the New York Clipper to Baseball Magazine, and The Sporting News.

Also tagging along with the history of the game is the history of American culture, which is usually presented in small and large advertisements. Because these speak so much to our past I’m going to throw a few up now and then for laughs, giggles and reflection, some involve the game and some not so much. We’ll see stars pitching products and we’ll see how far we’ve come in some aspects… like the first one we’ll throw up from 1939.

I wonder what Will Carroll would say about this?
