To my readers: Read on

 

Note: I recently added my fiction books that are no longer in print to my sports blog, all for free for my diehard followers. (Example: Billy's Victory, The Loner, The Legend of Bucket Smith, and The Dancer all can be found under February/2026, while Where Eagles Fly is shown under June/2025. Go to my blog roll on the right side of my profile page, click on the chapters of the book, and read upward from the beginning of the story to the end. If not interested, just scroll through, and presto, a local or national sports story will pop up soon enough.

Happy reading! 

Go, Wildcats, Go Diamondbacks, and to all the youngsters out there: keep playing the game you love. It'll always put a smile on your face.

My blog has so many stories, it may be overwhelming to find the article you're looking for.

Here are some pointers below that'll help:

Use the search engine in the top left-hand corner of my profile page or click on a story on my blog roll on the right side to navigate through archives. Example: In the search engine, plug in the MSBL World Series, Tucson MSBL, or Tucson Old Timers to bring up stories involving that specific group or organization, or plug the name of the individual (example: your name, Willie McCovey, Babe Ruth, etc.). The blog roll on the right works the best. You can read a collection of posts on the subject or the name you inquire about.  If I have an article about you, the articles will appear, and you can read all I have written on the subject. My blog has surpassed 4,800 posts. You can also select a year, such as 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and then choose the month and the posts you want to read.

Remember: Bookemdanosports is like a diary, focusing on all the years that have flown by since I started the blog in Greer, Arizona, in 2009. Whether it's the teams at the University of Arizona: football, basketball, baseball, or the two decades I have followed the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers, of which I'm a long-standing member, it's all there, chronicled: every month and every year, maybe not for the whole world to see, but the people in southern Arizona anyway; the diehard Arizona sports fans who live, everyday, cheering on their friends, teammates, players, coaches to win the inning, the fourth quarter or hit the game-winner with no time on the clock.

Sports will always be a big part of my life. To write about the local athlete, the oldtimer who still swings the bat, the budding star in high school who's heading for the pros. It's all here, in my little blog. Enjoy!

Good Hunting! Remember to hit the Home key when you're done; it'll take you back to my profile page.
