Barnstormer: Bleacher Life

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🦃
Hope you all had an amazing day filled with good food, good company, and—of course—good sports.

My Thanksgiving Black Friday lineup has been peak Bleacher Life:

🐻 Watched the Bears beat the Eagles (always a great way to start the holiday).
⚾ Rolled straight into Game 5 of the MLW World Series—absolutely electric into extra innings.
🏒 And plan on wrapping it up with the Blackhawks under the lights.

Just a perfect sports-fan kind of day.
Thankful for all of you who ride along with me on this Barnstormer journey. 🙏

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. And I’ll see you at the next stop.
🔥 Happy Thanksgiving, Barnstormers! 🔥

🏒 Barnstormer Chronicles #60

Cleveland Monsters 👹 at Chicago Wolves 🐺 | Allstate Arena

It’s a big one tonight in Rosemont.
The Cleveland Monsters roll into Allstate Arena,
and the Chicago Wolves are ready to answer with some home-ice fire.

The crowd’s loud, the hits are heavy, and every shift feels like a battle.
Midwest hockey at its finest — fast, physical, and full of energy.

This is Wolves territory.
This is BleacherLife.

Barnstormer Game #50 🎉⚾️
A season’s worth of bleachers, stories, and memories all lead to this moment.

✨ Last day of summer
✨ Last game of the Frontier League season
✨ Last live baseball game of 2025

From ballparks big and small, road trips near and far, to friendships made along the way—this journey has been unforgettable.

Tonight it all ends under the lights at Wintrust Field. 🏆

Thank you, BleacherLife, for being part of every pitch, every cheer, and every story. 🙌

Barnstormer Game #48 ⚾️
Frontier League – Championship Series

Schaumburg Boomers fans may be on the road in Quebec, but the heart of the action is right here at Wintrust Field. I’m at the official watch party in the Schaumburg Club, shoulder-to-shoulder with the superfans.

Boomers 🦅 at Capitales 🇨🇦 — a clash up north, streamed live down here in the heart of Schaumburg. The energy in this room proves it: this community shows up.

So glad the Boomers host nights like this. It’s not just about the field—it’s about the fans, the family, the BleacherLife.

Barnstormer Game #42 ⚾️
Division Championship – Game 1

Free ticket from the Chicago Dogs brought me to Kane County tonight—perfect timing for the start of the American Association Division Championship.

The Cougars host the Dogs in a best-of-series with everything on the line. No fireworks, no promotions—just playoff baseball at its purest, $5 a seat, and bragging rights for Chicagoland’s two indy powerhouses.

This is the kind of night that makes you love BleacherLife. Let’s see who strikes first.

⚾🏏 NEW VIDEO!

From the Grand Prairie AirHogs to the Cricket World Cup — the story of how a Texas baseball stadium became America’s cricket hub is one of the wildest transformations in sports.

Do you think cricket can really take hold in the U.S.? 👇

Barnstormer: Bleacher Life

Even with backups, things still happen. I lost a lot of my stories today, and it stings. 😤 I even had a backup fail — and at the end of the day, this is just a one-guy operation.

But here’s the irony — I was working on a story about resilience. 🙂 Losing files feels like Aaron Judge dropping a ball in the World Series. It’s painful, it’s public, and you wish you could take it back. But the game doesn’t end there. You pick up the glove, take the next at-bat, and keep going. In the end, we’re all human — and sometimes, the ball just bounces funny.

I still have plenty in the hopper, but I’m going to have to rebuild some of these stories from scratch. 🙂 It may slow me down a little, but the ideas are still alive — and they’ll come back stronger.

To my new subscribers and long-time friends, I’m sorry if this sets me back a little. Your support means the world, and I’ll keep moving forward. ⚾

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. And I’ll see you at the next stop.

⚾ Game #27 — Pulled up to Wintrust Field thinking it was Boomers baseball night… turns out it’s a men’s league matchup instead. One team’s rocking ‘Hawks’ jerseys, so I guess I still get my baseball fix. Barnstormer rule #17: When in doubt, watch the game in front of you.
