Celebrating Two Years Of The Steele Sports Bar!

3 weeks ago | steelesportsbar.substack.com | Andrew Steele |Tyler Dunne

Iâ€™m not one to overly celebrate my own achievements. I see my birthday as just another day on the calendar. And anyway, the older you get the less you actually want to bring attention to it. Therefore, you probably wonâ€™t be surprised that I totally missed the second anniversary of this very newsletter. February 2025 marked two years since I took the plunge and decided to go out on my own. As is surely the case with most life-altering decisions, I remember it vividly.

My Love Letter To Baseball On Opening Weekend

3 weeks ago | steelesportsbar.substack.com | Andrew Steele

Editorâ€™s Note - I wanted to put something special together to mark what is a truly special weekend for so many in America. So, as Major League Baseball returns, here is my love letter to the sport that has given, and continues to give, me so, so, muchâ€¦I didnâ€™t grow up loving you. I didnâ€™t grow up watching you. Heck, I grew up not knowing you even existed. See, unlike the vast majority of your devoted fans, I wasnâ€™t born in America where the National Pastime is a cherished way of life.
