Did you see this?
Some of the best and most interesting things I saw over the last week
Remember Little League World Series star Mo’ne Davis? She’s now a college graduate and beginning her pursuit of a career in Baseball as an intern with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
A couple of weeks after suffering a glancing blow to the head from a foul ball, Yankees radio voice John Sterling received a thoughtful birthday present from New York Giants President and CEO John Mara.
LSU star Dylan Crews will be one of the first players selected in the first round of the MLB Draft tonight. As this tremendous Anthony Castrovince piece on MLB.com explains, he is already making a huge impact off the field.
While pickoff attempts have been limited by the new disengagement rule this season, Fangraphs has a fascinating piece that explains that, while you might not expect it, pickoffs are actually on the rise across MLB.
30 years ago this week, Reds pitcher Tom Browning decided to do some sightseeing on a visit to Wrigley Field.
The Mets are spending almost as much ($49.8 million) on 8 players who do not play for them as the Athletics are paying their entire Opening Day roster ($56.8 million).
As an aside, is Bret Saberhagen the poor man’s Bobby Bonilla? Saberhagen was the first aging star to take a deferral from the Mets late in his carer. He receives $250,000 a year from the Mets for 25 years beginning in 2004. That agreement was the inspiration for Bonilla’s lucrative deal.
A look at the impact the legendary Satchel Paige made when he finally arrived in the major leagues 75 years ago this summer.
Hall of Famers Tom Glavine and John Smoltz tell The Athletic why they think the 2023 Braves are built for a title.
I’d like to think Bruce Sherman sees things like this and questions the leadership and wisdom of key people who remain in his front office.
I understand fans only care about results on the field, but the Marlins organization could be exponentially more successful with experienced, competent and visionary leadership on the business side.
