Pope to visit new D.C. ballpark

Pope Benedict XVI plans to say Mass at the newest of the "green cathedrals" during a three-day visit to Washington next April. "[Archbishop Donald] Wuerl said he expects that all 41,000 seats will be filled but said he did not yet know how admission will be handled." See Washington Post. (Will there be scalpers? Holy water on tap in the luxury suites, perhaps? ) Seriously, I think the Pope's visit will be a perfect occasion to Christen the new stadium.

Twins' stadium design OK'd

Hennepin County officials have approved the design of the Twins' future stadium, as construction has already begun. The modernistic glass and limestone exterior will become quite a landmark in Minneapolis three years from now. See MLB.com.

This (or that) year's
blog highlights

NOTE: Thus far, only blog posts related to politics and baseball are included in this list.

Blog highlights have been compiled for the years 2010-2012 thus far, and eventually will be compiled for earlier years, back to 2002.


Explanation

The "home made" blog organization system that I created was instituted on November 1, 2004, followed by several functional enhancements in subsequent years. I make no more than one blog post per day on any one category, so some posts may cover multiple news items or issues. Blog posts appear in the following (reverse alphabetical) order, which may differ from the chronological order in which the posts were originally made:

  1. Wild birds (LAST)
  2. War
  3. Science & Technology
  4. Politics
  5. Latin America
  6. Culture & Travel
  7. Canaries ("Home birds")
  8. Baseball (FIRST)
