Now Batting: Stadium Wi-Fi

Any major sports stadium is already pretty wired. But to see a stadium take it to the next level with Wi-Fi, now that is just just beautiful! That is exactly what many major stadiums are doing. This not only allows for better productivity with those people that are employed there at the stadium, but it also gives the stadium a real 21st century edge as well. :o)

For a moment, it felt like I was back on the sports beat at The Cincinnati Post, the journalistic enterprise where I cut my teeth as a reporter more years ago than I care to remember. But the tales, if not the years, are worth remembering.

Those were the days of the Big Red Machine, when Sparky Anderson wowed major league baseball as the coach of the Cincinnati Reds and Pete Rose was still the golden boy of baseball. I was pinch-hitting for the sports reporters who dared to take a week off in summer.
