He had a very brief career as a decent goalkeeper until around the age of fifteen, at which point his strong tendency toward laziness kicked in and he decided to write about sports instead of playing them. When he got to Southern Methodist University, he started writing in sports for the student newspaper. He eventually had jobs at the Dallas Times Herald, the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and the Memphis Flyer before fleeing the southern summers for Portland, Oregon in 1996. Since then, he has written sports, travel, and outdoors articles for publications all over the country and is the author of five guidebooks for Menasha Ridge Press, including Portland’s best-selling hiking guide, 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Portland. He has guided hiking trips in Oregon, California, Colorado, Italy, and Nepal. Along the way, since writing never really pays the bills, he has also worked for nonprofits, restaurants, tour companies, an insurance company, Radio Cab Company in Portland, and on Alaskan fishing boats. And that’s just what he can remember. Since his first English soccer game in 2011, he has seen more than 100 a hundred contests at more than 60 sixty different grounds. Back at home, he’s a Portland Timbers season ticket holder and a dues-paying member of the Timbers Army; he hates nothing in life more than the last ten minutes of a game when the green and gold are ahead by one goal.

  • Cooperstown Baseball World Game Rules and Tournament Guidelines
    COOPERSTOWN BASEBALL WORLD GAME RULES AND TOURNAMENT GUIDELINES Cooperstown Baseball World uses the Official Rules of Major League Baseball, with the following adaptations and/or modifications. These rules are used at all Adult Baseball tournaments held by Cooperstown Baseball World and have been distributed to all members of the Cooperstown Baseball World Umpires Association. Please note, in case of a protest, the Official Rules of Baseball, supplemented by the CBW modifications, will be the basis for all rules decisions. Rule Addendums: Batter’s Box: When the batter is out of the batter’s box, he may not leave the dirt area around home plate except in the case of a substitution, conference, or equipment problem. The intent of this rule is to keep the game moving along without unnecessary delays. When the batter is in violation of this rule, the umpire will ask the batter to return to the batter’s box and a warning will be issued. There will be one warning per player. If the offending player does not return or if the violation is repeated by that offender, a strike will be called without a pitch being thrown to the batter. Intentional Walks: A hitter may be waived to first base without any pitches being thrown upon the direction of the defensive team manager, pitcher or catcher. Hit Batters: Any pitcher who hits four (4) batters with pitches during a game must be removed from the pitching position. Removal is done immediately upon the 4th batter being hit. He may continue to play offense and defense. Base Safety: • Runners should avoid collisions with defensive players fielding a batted ball (fielders are entitled to the ball, which includes a step-and-reach beyond the point of contact with the ball).
