Could the biggest baseball fan in the country live in basketball-obsessed Memphis, Tennessee? Maybe.
Germantown resident and baseball superfan Drew Fleming is one of 52 finalists in the 2013 MLB Fan Cave competition. The winner will have the opportunity to watch and tweet about all 2,430 MLB games in the New York-based MLB Fan Cave.
“I saw a few other video entries and thought ‘hey I do this for a living, I love baseball,’ and I tweet way too much,” said Fleming. “I figured the MLB Fan Cave was right up my ally.”

Our first award of the 2012 M Awards is for Favorite Concessions. It should be noted that just a few short months ago, MemphiSport wrote an article about the fantastic food being served at FedExForum (read it here). We don’t like to brag (much) but we will have to take credit for this one. It cannot possibly have anything to do with another fantstic season by the Grizzlies, or the taste-tastic offerings all over the Forum. No – more likely we rigged this category with our article from a few months ago.
FedExForum, First Place: 44.98%
AutoZone Park, Second Place: 32.22%
St. Jude Classic, Third Place: 8.51%
Best Write-in Vote: Melrose Football Games (outside the fence)

Leading Off- The Redbirds are 7-4 during the month of June, helping guide them up the American North Standings. Memphis has been led by good pitching so far this summer and with some consistent run support being added since Memorial Day weekend, the next few weeks hold a stretch of divisional games that could help take the Redbirds into first place.
On Deck- Home sweet home; at least for the next 8 games as the Birds begin a homestand vs New Orleans and Nashville.
Single- With a team ERA of 3.94, the Redbirds are first in the PCL. They are the only team yet to give up 300 runs for the season.
Double- The Redbirds are in 2nd place for the first time this season coming into the current homestand. Now boasting a record of 30-32, the Birds are 4.5 games out of first place.
Triple- This Friday, be sure to check the Redbirds out at Autozone Park as they welcome the San Diego Chicken to the ballpark.. if you haven’t seen him, look him up.
Homerun- 46… Redbirds got four deep shots during the roadtrip.
Bases Loaded is a weekly recap of the past week’s story-lines and news from the Memphis Redbirds.

Leading Off- The Redbirds are 4-4 since our last update, due much in part to added run support. Memphis scored a combined 42 runs in their last eight contests, including one goose egg posted midweek vs NOLA. Memphis heads into Monday’s match-up vs Fresno having taken the first two games of the four game match-up this weekend. Memphis will play two more home games vs Fresno before heading back on the road.
On Deck- Memphis is 4-6 in their last ten games. Now 14-22 on the year, the Redbirds will look to build some road success having won only three times away from downtown Memphis.
Single- For the second week running, the Redbirds have a stronghold on the 3rd place of the division. The PCL American North ranks from 1st-4th: Omaha, Iowa, Memphis, Nashville. Memphis is 6.5 games behind the leading Cubs.
Double- Second from bottom, even with the added run support this week the Redbirds are still batting under .300 as a team this year. Now hitting .255, only Nashville sits below them in the standings.
Triple- Memphis is third from top in team ERA. The pitching has been good for the Birds this season, and now with an ERA of 4.24, the Redbirds will be hoping the bats continue to produce runs for a second week in a row.
Homerun- Seven homeruns in seven days, not a great stat, but it moves the total from 18 to 25 for the 2011 campaign.
