Open Stance delivers the thoughts, rants and raves of an opinionated and passionate baseball fan. Originally published as a think-piece column in Boston Baseball magazine in the 1990s, Open Stance now comes to you in blog form. Please see Open Stance - The Columns for the online archives of the print predecessor.
Here's the top headline at this moment on my ESPN.com-MLB RSS feed:
The San Francisco Giants are halfway to their first World Series championship in 58 yearsUh... The Giants won the World Series in 1954. By my count, that's 56 years.

Yeah, I'm a baseball nut. I also love the ballparks, and I consider myself an aficionado. I've seen over 2,000 professional baseball games in 54 MLB parks and 123 minor league venues.
I lived in Boston for over 20 years, and I continue to be a die-hard Red Sox fan, as well as a card-carrying member of Red Sox Nation.
Now back in Denver again – I was born 12 blocks from Coors Field – I also follow the Rockies. I've grown fond of them and I'm now a genuine fan, but my relationship with them isn't yet the same deep emotional and cultural investment I developed with the BoSox, but stay tuned.
I consider myself a baseball purist, and I loathe interleague play and the DH.
I've never worn a tie to a ball game.

Fifty eight years? I'll take another one in 2012 for sure!
