Pay more attention to baseball

 

Reading several papers online shows that Miami is not a baseball town and will not achieve that status until our local papers report the sport completely.

The playoffs have been amazing, yet even where their teams are not in the playoffs, papers in cities such as Chicago have a front-page summary of baseball scores and a front-page article in the sports section. Forgetting to report the playoffs only encourages Miami’s declining interest in the sport, and an article about Jeffrey Loria’s team is worthless.

It seems that we read about football and basketcall all year, no matter how insignificant the story. Try providing the same coverage to baseball at a minimum and our interest in and attendance at the games might improve.

    UM Hospital raises standards across South Florida

  • FIU thanks legislators for education commitment

    I would like to commend publicly our elected officials who this year put higher education front and center during the legislative session. They took the first opportunity offered by the improving economy to return funding that had been cut from the State University System and invest in the future of our state.

  • Plant thief at Fairchild Gardens

    I was recently at Fairchild Gardens and after much consideration, purchased two lovely specimens from the Flowering Tree Society’s plant sale. A very nice helper offered to take my plants to the front entrance. I could have carried them with my friend Jim, but she was adorable and I told her I’d drive my car around. When I got there, her face was red and she was on the verge of tears.
