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.

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 […]
