New to the site? Here's a quick overview

To kick things off, I'll give you a quick scoop on what At The Sandlot is all about. 

I designed this site to serve a couple of functions, all of it surrounding sports and how it affects you and me alike. Here's generally what you'll find here:

• Analyze--Current games, seasons, players, and sports organizations alike. In other words, I'm going to take sports and break it down for you
• Learn--What is a double play? What does "double bonus" mean? An onside kick? All these little details about the ins and outs of sports, I'll fill you in on the basics and more
• Real life--How has sports influenced society? How has society influenced sports? I'll give you my take on these things, and how I feel sports is doing now

I'll dive into these and other things that are going to be related to sports. But with that said...

Why do this? Why does any of this matter? For me, I grew up loving sports; playing it, listening to and watching it every day and week of my life. I think it serves many purposes to anyone and everyone, from the die-hard lovers to the occasional participants (whether playing or watching). So I want to share my passion and thoughts on all that, and go into what the rest of the sports world thinks about itself (just to see if they are onto something or missing the boat!)

As you check out ATS, if there are things you want to know more of or hear about that I don't talk about here, leave me a comment and let me know.
