My Favorite Baseball Commercials
With the Super Bowl just two weeks away millions of Americans, without affiliation to either team playing, watch not for the love of the game, but for the commercials. For example, my team is not in the Super Bowl; therefore, I will be most looking forward to watching the super bowl commercials. Some years can […]
Who’s a Better Hitter: Cobb, Ruth, or Wagner?
Hey baseball fans! There’s a question on my mind that I, for the longest time, was never able to figure out the answer. The question is who is the best hitter from the first Hall of Fame class? In case you don’t know, in 1936, the first three hitters inducted into the Baseball Hall of […]
5 Noteworthy Bespectacled Baseball Pitchers
Hall of fame inductees Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine earned their tickets to Cooperstown without the need for specs when they took the mound, but don’t assume every great in the league had 20/20 vision. Charlie Sheen’s Wild Thing didn’t know his true potential in that fictitious Cleveland Indians lineup until he was forced to […]
If I Had a Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot

Hey baseball fans! The 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot is now announced with a lot of stars’ names on the list for the first time. However, there are only five players on the list for the first time that I think deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. So, without further ado, let […]
Passing the Fantasy Baseball Torch
Last week we saw the retirement of one of the truly elite talents in baseball history and one of the most dominant players that played in my (and every other ~23 year old’s) generation. Ken Griffey Jr. was my first favorite baseball player, the first guy that I would wait to watch on Sports Center […]
Wins and Loses: A Decline in Value?
Image via Wikipedia Congratulations to Tim Lincecum for winning the 2009 NL Cy Young award, just a couple short days after Zack Greinke‘s victory for the AL counterpart. But an even bigger congratulations is in order. A congratulations to the BBWAA voters. Just what am I getting at, you ask? As we’re all aware of, […]
Dontrelle Willis Needed This!
He needed to step onto that mound at Comerica Park and feel the evening sun shine upon him, the clouds in retreat, the swirling winds at bay. He needed to kick his right leg high into the air and bring his left arm across his body in perfect plane as the baseball left his fingertips […]
Atlanta Braves Looking for Rebound Season in 2009
Following their worst season since Bobby Cox became the manager in 1990, all signs point to the Atlanta Braves returning to their typical spot near the top of the National League East in 2009. Rather than signing high profile free agents, the Braves have made strategic additions designed to solidify the weaknesses exposed during their […]
Atlanta Braves Off Season Report
Season Wrap Up Another year without postseason play after all of those consecutive years in it makes for unhappy Braves fans. But this time, I would have to say that a lot of the problem was caused by the myriad of injuries sustained, but especially those to their pitching staff, both starters and relievers alike. […]
