The Colorado Rockies defeated the New York Mets 9-4 and got off to their best start in franchise history:
For the 1st time, the Interactive Sports Gallery made an appearance this past weekend to promote its primary item the Pro Pitching Guide. I will have to say that for my first time, I think things went extremely well. Of course there are many things I would do differently or add to my display but all in all it was a great experience.
Just being around coaches and other vendors of like mind was such a thrill. Listening to Nomar Garciaparra talk about hitting or Don Slaught talk about breaking down a players swing was well worth the trip. They had many good people to talk to and make connections with so you never know what will come of it. I was able to gain so much from the past 3 days that it would be hard for me to chalk this up as a total loss. I did not sell as many Pitching Guides as I would have liked but, it is never about that when it comes to these events. Those connections you make can help you down the road with something you had never even thought of before.
The Boston Red Sox have made a huge splash this off season. First they signed Adrian Gonzalez after trading 3 prospects to the Padres for him. Their second big free agent signing came yesterday as they landed Carl Crawford after agreeing on a 7 year 142 million dollar deal:
Paul Konerko2 & Carlos Pena3 also landed deals yesterday as well.
