Most regular readers know I’m tough on the Seminole Booster program. I’ve “put them on blast” time and time again. I’ve suggested they be replaced by a stock program, I’ve begged for their transparency, and I’ve compared them to a well-funded, influential political lobby group. You can say I am not a fan.

I know this is a little late – my most humble apologies – but Wednesday night I made my debut over at BusLeaguesBaseball, writing about the friendly (soccer term!) between the Seminoles and the Philadelphia Phillies.
