What is The Sports Brat?

Sports Brat (noun)

Someone who enjoys tailgating and a cold beer, but still has concerns about shoe choice, lipstick and the cutie in section 102.  Isn’t shy to share an opinion (or 7).  Prefers courtside to nosebleeds.  Knows what the west coast offense is or, if not, knows how to expertly fake it til you make it.

No one’s game day look should be limited to jeans and a T-shirt and the watch party menu isn’t just chips and dip. This is game day, elevated.

NYE 2023 in Madrid

Wrigley Field: Wrigley Rooftops

Wrigley Field: Wrigley Rooftops

Wrigley Rooftops brings a whole new level of game watching. I thought my trip to Wrigley Field was fun the first time, but apparently, I hadn’t done it right.  When you are headed to Wrigley Field for a Cubs game and have a large group of people, make Wrigley...

NY Mets @ Citi Field

Citi Field. I can't believe I'm just getting around to doing a Mets gameday guide. This was my third trip to Citi Field and well, here we are. It was also brought to my attention that I've yet to do one for the Bronx. Obviously I've been slacking. I'll either get to...

Back to Fenway

Back to Fenway

Back to Fenway we go! Oh Boston, you are one charming town. Is it offensive to call you a town? I mean technically you are a city but you are so cute and charming, and the movie The Town takes place in Boston, so yeah. ANYWAY you are so cute. I paid another visit to...

Black & Blue: A Book Review
