In the mid 90′s, Hanson “MMMBOP” fever swept the nation as the three brother band reached insane heights of popularity. The Hanson band sensation eventually died down, but for Pittsburgh Pirates fans the fever may soon return in the form of Alen Hanson fever. A year ago, Alen Hanson might not have even been a top 100 prospects in the Pirates farm system. His signing bonus is unknown, which generally means it’s a small, insignificant amount. Signing bonuses are a strong indicator on how highly thought of a signee is and therefore Hanson was buried under several other middle infielders in the Pirates farm system who had signed for bigger bonuses. Low level middle infielders head of Hanson included names include Johnathon Barrios and Jodenali Carvajal and, who...

The "This Land is Your Land: A Woody Guthrie Centennial Concert" heralded a sold-out crowd on Saturday night at a historic music venue nearly as old as Guthrie himself, The Brady Theater.
Oklahoma champion and author Michael Wallace opened the night with the words of the Okemah native and late folk icon Woody Guthrie: "I hate a song that makes you feel as though you're not any good. ... The songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you."
