About Lenny »

O.K., I've seen Rick Springfield in concert three times. No, once wasn't enough ... three times! If that offends you, please know I watched John Cougar open for Kiss back in '78. I just wanted to clear the air. Can we be friends now?

I write for a living, but in a marketing sense. I find myself counting my blessing every day for not only having a job, but for being paid to do what I love. And now that I've found this site, the blessings continue.

I'll write about just about anything. I have a children's story I'm peddling. I write a column for a local suburban paper. I've written greeting cards. It's in my blood, see ...

Feel free to drop me a note. I also like writing replies. I hope I can fan the flames of fanaticism. And if you've got some Rick Springfield tickets you're looking to unload ...

Hey Lenny, how's your summer going? Bring me up to date with what's happening with the Blues. Who looks good, dark horses to make the team. Any good prospects. Some writers have them picked to be the division champs. In one of my articles last year, during that hot run starting in the new year, I had them as my dark horse to make the playoffs. This year they will do some damage.

Lenny-
If you participate in fantasy baseball, then you should read my latest. It will help you in those difficult times when one of your hitters faces one of your pitchers. Thanks for checking it out.

Hey Lenny,

Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game’s immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth’s 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of “Murderer’s Row,” Henry Lou Gehrig.

Thanks in advance!
