Instant Classic Video! 2 Cell Phone Guys at a Baseball Game Talk about Field of Dreams

ethanator1088 ethanator1088 posted 7/14/2008 from neswsports.com

This is PRICELESS! These guys can not leave their cell phones alone for a single second . They look up only when they hear a hit. Then to top it off, they start reminiscing about the movie Field of Dreams . I do not think Shoeless Joe had an Iphone. This was taken at an Angels game recently

Notes From the Shadows of Cooperstown: Then and Now

Dave Rouleau Dave Rouleau posted 6/11/2008 from seamheads.com

I enjoy linking history to today, events in baseball's past to what is happening this season. So the title above not only fits the two items in this issue, but covers a lot of my stuff. Up top is a review of Baseball's Greatest Hit — no, not Mazeroski's homer, although that would be my personal #1. No, the "hit" here refers to a hit song . The ...

Willie Deserved Better – And So Did These Guys
Willie Deserved Better – And So Did These Guys

Clo Clo posted 6/22/2008 from seamheads.com

I never expected I would feel bad for Willie Randolph. How the Mets could screw up a slam dunk of a firing the way they did by canning a manager who just won his third of four games after flying coast-to-coast the day after meeting with the GM and asking to be fired IF he was going to be before making the trip is amazing, indeed. In honor of Willie Randolph's 3:14am EDT firing on Tuesday is ...

EIGHT MEN OUT REMEMBERED Eliot Asinof died on Tuesday, June 10, three days before I flew to Indianapolis for the 20th Anniversary of the film Eight Men Out , the John Sayles movie based on Asinof’s 1963 book. For a moment, I felt like attending the services, if there were any in upstate NY — he lived south of Albany, the address was Ancramdale, which is much easier ...

Notes From the Shadows of Cooperstown: Play it Again, Jocko

Seamhead1967 Seamhead1967 posted 17 days ago from seamheads.com

You gotta like an umpire with the name “Jocko,” and indeed Mr. Conlan was a genial fellow, feisty and full of spunk, and he called ‘em as he saw ‘em for 25 years.

ME AND ELIOT My tribute to Eliot Asinof appeared in NOTES #350 , not too long ago, and I do not need to reprint it here. Indeed, there is much about Asinof and Eight Men Out in my book, so much that I can recommend Burying the Black Sox as a companion to 8MO, or a the Making Of. “Six Hours,” my account of my 2003 visit with Asinof at his Ancramdale home (in ...

As my esteemed colleague at Duece of Davenport said, ” How can this be fun for him?” Watch as he hits first base and walks back to the dugout, just like he did in the first video . You can do that in softball . I just can not imagine how making 30 people ooh and aah can be exciting to an X-MLB home-run king

Roger Clemens joins Barry Bonds in the slow burn that lasts a lifetime and then lingers after death as long as the game is played and tongues can way.

Today, I feel a little like that kid standing outside the Chicago courthouse in 1920 imploring Shoeless Joe Jackson to say it ain't so. Roger Clemens may be the most egregious steroids user this side of Barry Bonds.

A team with two solid, but far from “greatest” type players help their team win no more than say, one superstar and one Mendoza.

Come on people, you think a guy that didnt play a minute of professional baseball from 1920 to 1989 could really come back and play that well? I bet you are the same folks that came crawling back to MLB when Roid Brothers Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire were sending baseballs into the stratosphere, then hugging semi-homoish after McGwire broke the record.

Callum Callum posted 7/28/2008 from mopupduty.com

For minor league baseball franchises, Canada has become a different field of dreams. With the exception of Vancouver, the old business model, where major league clubs supplied players - and more importantly, paid their salaries and travel expenses - has disappeared like Shoeless Joe into an Iowa cornfield.
