Baseball and the Blog

While the subject of baseball has always been a captivating one for Chet and Bernie series, as exemplified most recently by last week’s blog posting from Cat on a Hot Tin Woof referencing Bernie having pitched for Army while attending West Point, truth be told, over the years the subject of baseball has been a pretty important one for the Plunderers as well. Given the geographic diversity of the Plunderers, there have been a lot of favorite teams and rivalries mentioned along the way, from the Colorado Rockies to the St. Louis Cardinals; the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros; the New York Mets and Yankees; and there may even be someone connected with the blog with a fondness for the Boston Red Sox.
Along the way, there have also been some memorable events captured photographically, starting with Rio and Wookie being honored on the scoreboard of a Colorado Rockies game that Rio took Wookie to attend.

Before that game, you had Rio and Wookie properly decked out in their matching and very snazzy bow ties.

And of course, there was the time that Wookie took Rio, SiberH and Wolfie Wigglebut to the World Collection in 2011 (the St. Louis Cardinals versus the Texas Rangers) as memoralized by Rio and SiberH checking out the World Collection trophy, and maybe Rio even getting in a lick of two of the trophy itself.

More recently, Teddy and his best pal Zeta went to a Washington National game on one of the team’s frequent bring your dog to the ballgame nights. While the game itself got rained out that night, it was still great fun for the two of them.

All in all, the subject of baseball has generated some really special memories along the way for the Plunderers on the blog and can be expected to do so well into the future. After all, opening day for 2026 is barely just five months away.
