Athletic fields bring back memories

Posted by bob hammerstrom

Do you remember your Pop Warner football days, Little League moments or Biddy Basketball games long ago?
I have many memories of my games as a child, and others I covered as a photographer for The Telegraph. Some are good ones, and others I’d rather forget, if I could.

Silly Athletic Costumes For Halloween

Posted by bob hammerstrom

Are you looking for a Halloween costume idea? How about dressing up as your favorite athlete, with a little humor thrown in.

**Tom Brady would make a good Halloween character too. No need for a uniform there. Just limp a little, and make sure you are accompanied by at least one woman (preferably pregnant).

There’s almost nothing better than sitting at the ballpark for a wet, cold and windy baseball tournament.
