Wow, wow, wow. When I started my new YouTube channel just one week ago, I never in my wildest dreams imagined it would be seen 100,000 times, get over 7,000 subscribers and 300 comments, from just two videos.

Some people love baseball, but for me, the best thing about the sport is that if your local team wins the […]
