Remember my New Year’s resolution to post more articles about sports? Yeah, me neither. Luckily I stumbled upon the blog where I made this resolution in writing. As with all my resolutions, I haven’t been too bad, but haven’t been to good either (Exercise? Sure I exercise. Just not often). So here I am bringing you info on local youth sports. Pasadena Star-News recently composed a list of many sports and activities for Pasadena kids. Take a look…
