The Chicago Cubs and the MLB Postseason

Leave a comment

It’s been a busy day of writing for me as I’m still going through a load of options, but I did take time to write a couple of articles for HubPages. I went with a baseball theme today as I tackled the release of the MLB Postseason schedule, which would put Games 5, 6, & 7 of the World Series in November. Not a fan. In this one, you can vote on whether or not you agree with me.

What You Need to Know About the 2015 MLB Postseason. Does It Run Too Late? Vote Now

Just a few moments ago, I finished up a piece about the Chicago Cubs and their postseason aspirations. I ask the question of whether or not they can bypass the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates to win the National League Central. It’s a long shot, but it’s baseball and it’s the Cubs. You never know what could happen. There’s two votes at the end of this one. Check it out below.

What a beautiful scene it was yesterday at the PGA Championship as Jason Day finally broke through to win his first major championship. Also part of this historic weekend was Jordan Spieth taking over the top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings and Tiger Woods missing yet another cut. Check out the following two articles I’ve written that cover all of these topics. The Tiger article even lets you vote on whether or not he’ll ever win again. You can also follow me on HubPages once you click on either link. Enjoy.

The Story of Lauren Hill

Leave a comment

Over the past few months at Binge Media, I’ve been tracking and writing about an amazing young woman named Lauren Hill. If you haven’t heard the name, she’s a college freshman that just finished her first season playing basketball at Mount Saint Joseph in Cincinnati. It seems simple enough just reading it like that, but the fact of the matter is that she’s been fighting an inoperable brain tumor the entire time. She wasn’t even supposed to make it to see 2015. I’ve written five articles on her thus far, the latest of which you can link to below which has subsequent links to the others. If you have a minute, do yourself a favor and check out this amazing story. As always, thank you for your continuing support.

I know, I know. It’s another plug, but I will tell you that I’m really proud of this one. I usually hate most of the things that I’ve ever written, but I had so much fun writing this piece on a fictional game between teams from Field of Dreams and Major League. I held a vote after writing revisits from both movies and asked my readers and loyal followers to vote for the better movie, which I then turned into the end of the article and who would win the game. So, to check out the results and the ensuing article, please follow the link below. I’m really hoping that this one gets some great circulation, so if you like it, please feel free to share it with as many people as you can. As always, thanks for the love and support. I’ll check back in soon.

Binge Media Sports Fan Vote-Field of Dreams v. Major League

Leave a comment

field of dreams VERSUSmajor league logo

If you’ve been to Binge Media this week, or have seen my previous post here, then you’ve probably read my 25th Anniversary look back at the movie you voted as your favorite baseball movie last year, Field of Dreams. Over the past few days, I’ve also put up a revisit of another baseball classic, Major League, also celebrating its 25th Anniversary this month. If you’ve not seen it, it can be viewed here, http://bingemedia.net/2014/04/24/binge-media-sports-the-revisit-major-league/.

As I was putting those two pieces together, I thought it might be fun to let my readers vote once again. I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’ve got a thing for getting the audience involved over there, but this one is a little different. If you haven’t already, head over to Binge Media and cast your vote between two classic baseball movies, Field of Dreams v. Major League, and have your voice be heard. I started the vote on Friday morning and it runs until tomorrow, Monday, April 28th, at noon Central time. The reward for those whose movie comes out on top basically get to write the end of a new piece I’m putting together in a fantasy matchup between the two movies. For the details and to cast your vote, click on the link below. Only a little over 24 hours to go, so make sure to get to it today.

Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Field of Dreams

Right around this time last year, I gave you the chance to vote for your favorite baseball movie and in a very close vote, Field of Dreams was declared the winner. If you’d like to revisit that vote and the article that went along with it, check out the archives section or just click here, https://thelukenorrisexperience.com/2013/04/12/the-best-and-worst-baseball-movies/.

After your vote, I gave you my top five and Field of Dreams topped my list as well. One year later, that certainly hasn’t changed and to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of this amazing film, I’ve written a new piece at Binge Media Sports that takes a look back at this classic. You’ll see a few pics, a couple of the best clips from the movie, and my overall take on exactly what this movie can do to people.
I really had a good time putting this one together and am very proud of this piece, so if you get a few minutes, take some time and check it out. As always, I thank you for continuing to support me.
