I was a little sad to hear that Mike Piazza retired this week, unsigned and out of uniform. For Barry Bonds to fade out of baseball and disappear unclaimed and unwanted makes sense. It is unfortunate to see the greatest offensive catcher ever ride off into the sunset without a grand tour [...]
Leave it to the illiterates at USA Today to title a story Ex-Yankee catcher’s memorabilia goes to auction.
Ex-Yankee catcher? Ex?!? Made me think of some x-rated expletives! Thurman Munson never played for any other team. When he died in an airplane crash he was the captain of the Yankees. He died [...]

Professional sports, otherwise known as the Big Four (MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL) in North America has permeated every aspect of society and influences both young and old alike.

More Cycling postsForgive the mix of Scottish lyrics and the combination of Loch Lomond with Robert Frost’s famous poem The Road Not Taken.
The low road is the short “high” road of syringes of HGH and steroids, paved with lucrative contracts gained through performance enhancement… properly at the cost of immortalization in the shrine of Cooperstown’s Baseball Hall [...]
Commentary on the Mitchell Report on baseball player doping…
Where’s a Jimmy Dugan to straighten out this mess? Baseball’s pathetic owners wouldn’t allow an actual lover of the game like Bob Costas or George Will to clean house and ruin their poker game.
More Humor postsOK, I was impressed with today’s one-pitch win by Joe Beimel, but troyfromwestvirginia is a Beimel-lovin’ freak. He’s recorded at least 5 YouTube videos about his icon and has this lovely animated Joe Beimel bobblehead as the background of his YouTube page.
Way to go, Troy. You put fanatic in the word fan.

I have never seen an article like Rob Neyer’s Thurman Munson and Carlton Fisk today about a football or basketball story. Baseball box scores never die.
Neyer does a spectacular forensic study in his new book “Rob Neyer’s Big Book of Baseball Legends“ of a story I read years ago about Thurman Munson and [...]
