Great article on clutch hitting! Don weighted several catgories and concluded that ... Rusty Staub ... was the greatest clutch hitter in the modern era. Jim Rice and ARod don't fare well.

Was Clemente Really Slighted by MVP Voters in 1960?
Was Clemente Really Slighted by MVP Voters in 1960?

Dave Rouleau Dave Rouleau posted 4/24/2008 from seamheads.com

Roberto Clemente called the 1960 N.L. MVP voting an "injustice," but was it really? The other night I was watching a documentary about Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame outfielder Roberto Clemente, which stated that Clemente was bitter about not being named N.L. MVP after the 1960 season

Hank Aaron a "house boy"?
Hank Aaron a "house boy"?

TheFeed TheFeed posted 5/14/2007 from thefeed.blogs.com

I just checked the calender and it's still 2007, not 1957 or 1857 so I'm wondering how Paul Finebaum's getting away with calling Hank Aaron Bud Selig's "House Boy" in print and on the radio in Alabama.

Currently, Ken Griffey Jr. has 2,500 career hits, 589 Home runs and 13 Gold Gloves, but missed much of 4 seasons in his prime due to injury. Where would Griffey stand if he was healthy those 4 years? Let's take a look: In 2001, Griffey played in 111 games, hitting 22 homers with 104 hits and 65 RBI. Extrapolated to 160 games, Griffey would have hit 32 homers with 150 hits and 97... In ...

For any fan of contemporary baseball, few calls are more recognizable than “back, back, back…gone.” As a commentator, analyst, and personality, Chris Berman has formed a niche all to himself in today’s digital age. From his booming voice and louder ties to his palpable enthusiasm for all things sports, few broadcasters are more admired or honored than “The Swami.” Recently, I got a chance ...

Major League Win Shares have been updated through Thursday's games. This is interesting: the National League leader is now Chase Utley , while the AL leader is Ichiro . Not unexpected, but not the first players you might think of as league MVP's. Oops, the All-Star ballots just closed. Oh well.

The youngest to 500, history suggests A-Rod still has a long way to go.

kcudah kcudah posted 8/4/2007 from sports.espn.go.com

Alex Rodriguez hit that 500th home run Saturday, eight days after his 32nd birthday. Let's try to give you some perspective on what that means. • That's two years and five months younger than Hank Aaron was when he hit No. 500. • It's two years and four months younger than Willie Mays was when he hit No. 500.
