Ah, Fantasy Baseball is back!

Nothing like hooking up with your fantasy baseball buddies you've not seen for a year and going head to head!

Settling in with a nice Herb's Burger, all your sheets, stats, baseball magazines strewn about crossing off every name that gets picked.

Started off picking someone our commissioner had his eyes on --oh oh!

You can always tell when you've not only made a good choice but a pick that everyone else in the room wanted by the huge sigh & franctic page turning looking for someone else!

My team partner is always the silent and absent partner! He says 'he has better things to do!'

Well, honestly, I have a list of 87 active things to do right now and it continues to grow, but to take 2 hours out of my Sunday to relax, clear my head, and spend quality time with some cool people seemed like 'the thing' to do this weekend!

For a girl, I pick a pretty mean team year after year but we have not won it all for a while.

I'm the only girl in the league and one of the many standing jokes is that I pick 'the all cute team!'

And I do! This year moreso than ever! Come on, Mauer and Morneau, Cabrera and Longoria, my boy Casey Blake, Grady, Werth, Choo, Jake Westbrook, ahhh, the list is endless of my 'all cute team' and some of them are actually very good!

Socked with a Grady Sizemore foul ball

And to top it off, forgot to mention that Mom was hit by a Grady Sizemore foul ball this past weekend. And did not get the ball!

Can you believe that. First, that the schmuck who nabbed the ball did not have pity on this older lady. And then that some pompous, holier-than-thou Cleveland Indian Management flack tried to make sure she was not hurt badly so she would not sue or anything..and did not have the decency to run down and grab a foul ball for this huge baseball fan who never misses a game and who now has a huge black and blue mark on her elbow!

The walking wounded continue their quest.

It's a wonder I can type with my carpal tunnel, heart disease, pinched nerve damage -itis.

One for Alonzo!

Yet another moving moment at a Cleveland Indians' Game. Many moments, really! Little Alonzo Fragoso, of Las Vegas, asked to go to an Indians' game and meet his favorite players as his "make-a-wish' request!

So sure enough, Saturday, Alonzo and his family were treated to an Indians game with all the trimmings. Alonzo got to shag fly balls before the game, hit against his favorite pitchers, hung out with the guys in the clubhouse, tossed out the first pitch to one of his heroes, Victor Martinez, and even announced an inning with public address announcer Bob Tayek!

Centerfielder Grady Sizemore asked Alonzo for HIS autograph!

Alonzo said his little league team back in Las Vegas is, what else, the Cleveland Indians!

Alonzo brought the Indians good luck. They won against the Texas Rangers after losing 7 in a row!

The Indians made one of Alonzo's dreams come true. But it looks like little Alonzo gave the Indians' and the sell-out crowd the boost they needed too!

Thanks, Alonzo! You are a hero and a true inspiration to all of us!
