Hoard: Shhooosh! Let The Game Do The Talking

Baseball and time change, as do the voices we come to depend on to describe the action.  Too much change, for some of us, I fear.  It's been two years since Marty left.  It seems...like light years.

Greg Hoard: A Thought, A Memory, A Reason To Win

There has been so much written and debated on the topic of winning in this space–some of it thoughtful and well-intended, some of it shallow and mean-spirited.  But in the end words that my dad once said to me are everything I ever needed to know on the subject, and might come in handy even in this day of trophies before triumph.

Hoard: To An Absent Friend…Tommy Lasorda

Time didn’t seem to matter to Tommy Lasorda. It didn’t matter if it had been a day, a week or years since you had last seen him, nothing changed. His greeting was always loud and warm, a verbal embrace that made you feel good about all things. Greg Hoard remembers a friend in today's Press Pros.

Hoard: On The Passing of A Friend, Lou Brock

Baseball mourns the loss of a legend. My sorrow is for the loss of a man of brilliance, a man of kindness and good humor. My sorrow is for the loss of a friend. Greg Hoard writes for Press Pros.

Baseball, Finally: Old Memories Are The Best

Do you remember?...Caught as we all are in the snare of Covid19, I find myself thinking about the things that matter most - memories from baseball.  Earl Lawson, the Hall of Fame baseball writer, and John McNamara, the former manager of the Reds, offered me their friendship and guidance in the early days of what turned out to be a long trail. Greg Hoard writes in today's Press Pros.
