Before J.D. Drew arrived in Boston, he already carried a label of being a ballplayer who didn’t care that much about the game. He apparently only gave 75% of his effort, according to his former manager, Tony LaRussa. He was known as a fragile player who most likely won’t give you a ...

Once upon a time, there were a plethora of baseball card companies in existence. Each had many different releases. Sometimes the sets were so diverse, that one could not distinguish which cards came from which company without looking at the tiny print. ...

The question of if St.Louis can afford Matt Holliday is a good question but it is not the most important question to be asking this off-season. Albert Pujols has two years remaining on his current contract and has already come out and said that he wants to end his career as a Cardinal. The ...

Sometimes it’s the most common cards that elude you. Even in the overproduced era of baseball cards, I still have commons that I have never seen.

The argument has raged for decades as to which was the “Golden Age” of baseball? Was it the 1920s, when Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Rogers Hornsby posted huge offensive numbers? The 1950s, with Willie, Mickey and the Duke ? The 1980s, during which nine different franchises won the World ...

It is safe to say that everyone in Cardinals land doesn’t want to see Matt Holliday leave but there is a possibility that a bidding war with the likes of the Yankees, Mets, and Red Sox could escalate the asking price to foolish levels.

A week later, like most Phillies fans, I am still thinking about the loss in the World Series that came at the hands of the New York Yankees. The Phillies winning it all last year, and then losing the very next season to the Yankees felt eerily similar to another NL East team. So, I thought ...

Before the ticker tape fell on Broadway outside City Hall in New York City, the 2009-2010 Hot Stove Season had already begun. For Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein and general managers everywhere, the race to the 2010 World Series began when the Phillies’ Shane Victorino grounded out ...

The Phillies declined the $5.5 million one year option on 3B Pedro Feliz last night. They had until today to make a decision. This is a good move by the Phillies. It gives them time to look at their other options at 3B. Although Feliz was very solid defensively for the Phils over the past two ...

Only a few short days after the Phillies lost game six of the World Series to the Yankees, offseason moves are already taking place. Not only that, but sports talk radio is rampant with people calling in saying, “trade this guy, release that guy, and let’s go out and sign the other guy.” This ...
