Image via Wikipedia This is why I’m not
a teacher; I’m sort of a pass or fail
guy. So since the Giants seem destined to have Bengie Molina bat cleanup for the second year in a row, I suppose they have failed (or at least come close) in their off season mission to improve the ...

There is no doubt that the story lines
for this year’s World Series were endless as the
Phillies, a historic baseball franchise, were heading back to the Series to try to end a quarter century drought, and the Rays, who had never even had a winning season in their history, faced off. As one ...

Obviously, this film was not an original idea
as it had originally come out (in various forms)

Obviously the makers of last year’s All Star
Game program had a lot to play with as
the game was being held at Yankee Stadium which almost has too much baseball tradition for a person to take in at one time. Programs such as these usually do a good job of bringing together stories form across ...

the replacement players who were called upon during the
strike in the mid-nineties just in case the players never reached an agreement with the owners on coming back to work. Perhaps not surprisingly, some of those players ...

Dean Whitney seemed to want to create a
modern day version of the classic novel The Natural
when he sat down to write Pinch Hitter and in some ways he may have accomplished this task, but in many others, he didn’t. Pinch Hitter is the story of a man who miraculously makes it straight to ...

Reading a name that proclaims something to be
an “Insider’s Club,” one would tend to believe that
they would receive information through this publication that others would not be able to receive. In some ways, this is true of the MLB Insiders Club Magazine, which is sent out monthly to its ...

Season Wrap Up One word describes the 2008
Washington Nationals record: abysmal. They lost 102 games! Granted,

Season Wrap Up Although the Marlins finished 7.5
games out in the NL East in 2008, they
didn’t have a bad season. After trading away Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera to the Tigers last off season, no one expected a lot from them in 2008. For starters, second baseman Dan Uggla ...
