With college basketball put to rest for the year, I can now focus on baseball. March Madness was once again March Madness! Congrats to Michigan, the 2026 National Champs.
The Major League Baseball clubs are off and running, each with close to 20 games in the books as we reach the final days of April. It's no surprise the LA Dodgers lead all clubs with a 15-4 record.
Who can dethrone the defending champs in 2026? Maybe San Diego, currently the second-best team in the NL West. And how about those New York Yankees? Where will they be by October?
As for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Will it be another so-so season? Will the Diamondbacks' starting pitching hold up? And how about the bullpen? Arizona is 12-8 and in third place as we head into the weekend. Could the NL West be the best division in baseball in 2026?
As for my Arizona Wildcats. Not good as they sport a 14-23 overall record after a 2-1 loss last night at Hi Corbett Field to Kansas State.
That leaves my 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers, who are four months into the 2026 season (they play all 12 months of the year...no let-up by the oldtimers).
In fact, the TOTS are enjoying their best season ever with an active roster of over 50 players -- including a new batch of 60-year-olds who are ripping the ball all over the TOTS' home field at Udall Park every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
As for me, I'm back playing as I edge closer to my 81st birthday in July. I had a good week at the plate this past week with 5 hits in 7 at-bats -- including a 3-for-3 day last Friday.
