Trading deadline looms

It’s a wonderful time of the year…for the teams still in the race. For other teams, it’s just another time to watch their young superstar or aging superstar of their favorite team get shipped out to a contender. This has the makings of being one of the biggest trading deadlines that I can […]

VIDEO - Masked men broadcast minor league game

File this under ‘things you don’t see every day.’ Two men won an Ebay auction to be the play-by-play broadcasters for three innings of a recent Auburn Doubledays game. Well - apparently the two men didn’t want to do it the normal way, so they wore masks.

Bartman says no to $25,000 offer

Someone leave this poor guy alone. Steve Bartman - a name that Chicago Cubs fans will forever remember. Why? Because he supposedly ruined their playoff dreams. It wasn’t Alex Gonzalez (and his fielding error) and it wasn’t the other five or six fans trying to catch the same foul ball. […]

Remember Jay Gibbons?

Do you remember the former Baltimore Orioles slugger Jay Gibbons? Yeah, he was one of the guys named in the infamous Mitchell Report. And yes, he was out of a job for most of the first-half of this season - that is until the independent Long Island Ducks picked him up.
Well, lucky Mr. […]

Polls results - Aluminum bats for Home Run Derby

I started a poll at the first of this month about whether or not you would like to see aluminum bats used in the Major League Baseball Home Run Derby. Personally - instead of using the gold ball on the ninth out - I would love to see the All-Stars grab an aluminum bat […]
