Tuesday night, I was lucky enough to be

San Francisco Giants as a credentialed member of the press. It was most special to me as it was the return to Cleveland of one of my all-time favorite players, Omar Vizquel. I had circled that game on my calendar as the one I would choose to attend, at first as a fan, but after being brought on as a ...

Every story about anything involving Barry Bonds seems
to always have a twist. Such is the case
with the way the 756th home run ball arrived at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown on Tuesday. Fashion designer and owner of the ball, Mark Ecko, was told never mind by the Hall early on Tuesday after Ecko agreed to loan -- not unconditionally donate -- the ball to baseball's Hall of ...

It is safe to say that I rarely
agree with Hank Steinbrenner, who is part of the
new New York Yankees braintrust (does that qualify as an oxymoron?). However, I share his sentiment about National League baseball. The senior circuit needs to incorporate the designated hitter. Steinbrenner would like to see the DH added in the National League for selfish purposes. Chien-Ming Wang is out ...

The Late Bloomer: Mike Scott and John Tudor
My goal in this series of articles about pitchers
of the 1980s is to show that that decade's reputation for mediocrity is undeserved. The two previous parts dealt with pitchers who had excellent careers, yet have been underappreciated. This article is about two players who very well may have garnered more attention had they been able to ...

Jered Weaver and Jose Arrendando combined on an
8 inning no-hitter against the Dodgers Saturday night, but
