About

Happy Valley Hardball is one of several sites that I run that support teams in the State College/Penn State area.

HVHardball will focus on news, stories, and statistics about Robbie Wine’s Penn State baseball club. Through the use of video, graphics, and interactive charts, I hope to provide a fresh look that you won’t find on similar sites.

To get a feel of what I’m referring to, check out Happy Valley Hoops, my site dedicated to Penn State basketball.

I also run “Fear the Deer”, a blog devoted to the State College Spikes, the Pittsburgh Pirates minor league short season “A” squad.
