National Classic Begins Today
The 16-team Hard 9 National Classic begins on Monday, and it will be an opportunity for a group of Southern California-based teams to demonstrate they have the pitching depth to make a deep run in the playoffs come May. The championship game is Thursday night at Cal State Fullerton.
Alemany, Esperanza, El Toro, Cypress and El Dorado are the teams to watch. They will need to combine quality pitching with good defense and some key hits to make it to the finals.
An Alemany-El Toro quarterfinal game could happen on Tuesday if both teams win their openers on Monday.

ABD Academy 1992-2012
Ron Miller of Gardena Serra, won't be playing for the Cavaliers this season, Coach Wilmer Aaron said Friday. Miller, a senior third baseman who batted .439 last season, has decided to play in the San Bernardino-based ABD Academy league that takes place during the high school baseball season.
Amateur Baseball Development (ABD), has been around sense 1992 and has seen a number of players (who have played in their leagues) become drafted. However, most of them have had high school/college exposure. Miller would be one of the most visible players to ever give up high school baseball to play in the league.
The ABD Baseball Academy is a recognized leader in training and is considered one of the Top Baseball Development Academies in the United States. They are located in San Bernardino, California and are administered by USA Baseball.

Harvey Schiller A Heavy Hitter
According to the LA Times, one of the power brokers in American sports has aligned himself with former Dodger stars Steve Garvey and Orel Hershiser in their effort to buy the team, according to two people briefed on the matter.
Schiller formerly was the chief executive of YankeeNets, the onetime parent company of the New York Yankees, New Jersey Nets and New Jersey Devils. That entity spawned YES Network, the kind of team-owned cable sports channel that the new Dodgers owner would have the option to launch. Schiller also is a former president of Turner Sports and executive director of the U.S. Olympic Committee. Schiller, would provide Garvey and Hershiser with expertise in the business side of sports, particularly in television.
The Dodgers' contract with Fox Sports expires after the 2013 season. A new owner could expect to reap about $4 billion in a new deal with Fox or Time Warner Cable -- or could start a Dodgers cable channel in the hope of making even more money. Outgoing owner Frank McCourt, according to the LA Times, hopes that media companies will try to secure the Dodgers' television rights by buying the team outright, which could push the sale price above $1.5 billion.
Let the games begin.
