Fun and B-Ball Games with the Harlem Globetrotters

Amazing. The Harlem Globetrotters have been around since 1926. And, no, the name of the group isn’t an indication the members are exclusively from or first came together in Harlem. The comedic basketball team actually originated in Chicago, Illinois, as simply the Globetrotters.
The name of the famous African-American community in New York […]

The Boston Red Sox Go to D.C.

Upset! New York Giants Take Super Bowl XLII

The Carnival Comes to Boston on Sunday

There must be something in the air. Or, maybe it’s just that perfect record the New England Patriots established to much fanfare last Saturday night. In any case, today brings word of yet another worthy sports-related charity event besides the Hot Stove, Cool Music affair I mentioned earlier.

But, wait, there’s much more. The […]
