The Bullpen-Under the Dome

"In baseball, the bullpen (sometimes referred to as just "the pen") is the area where pitchers warm-up before entering a game. Depending on the ballpark, it may be situated in foul territory down the baselines or just beyond the outfield fence. Also, the group of relief pitchers for a team is collectively referred to as the bullpen. These relievers usually wait in the bullpen when they have yet to play in a game, rather than in the dugout with the rest of the team."

Steve has invited me to contribute to his blog. I don't know if he got tired of me emailing him potential post material or if he wanted someone else to help contribute since he is now back practicing law. Either way, I am honored to be able to come out of the bullpen from time to time to give the starter some relief.
