Late Night VEB: Jim Edmonds, Kirby Puckett & the Hall of Fame
In the build up to and the aftermath of the Hall-of-Fame election each year, a passionate discussion is held regarding the candidacies of various players. Much ink has been spilt over the candidacies of those players on the ballot this year. DanUp wrote a great post on the former Cardinals on the...
Wednesday Rockpile: At Least Larry Walker Makes My 2012 Hall of Fame Ballot
Since nary a peep has been heard out of the Rockies since the announcement of the Casey Blake deal, I figured that it would be germane to discuss the big baseball topic at the moment -- the 2012 Hall of Fame ballot. The Hall is a very divisive topic among baseball fans, largely stemming from its...
At Last, Ron Santo Elected To Baseball's Hall Of Fame
This is a happy day and a sad day for all Cubs fans. "Chicago Cubs legend Ron Santo", as Pat Hughes always introduced him on WGN radio, has been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the latest incarnation of the Veterans Committee; he'll be inducted on July 22, 2012, and perhaps others if anyone...
Edgardo Alfonzo Left Off Hall Of Fame Ballot
The 2012 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot was released Wednesday, featuring 13 new names in addition to the 14 holdovers from last year. None of the 13 additions to the ballot are worthy of induction but simply being included on the ballot is a nice tribute. It's a simple way of recognizing...
The Barry Bonds Conundrum
Since we still have several hours before the Cubs take on the Rockies in Denver tonight, I thought I'd stir up a hornet's nest stimulate some conversation this morning by writing about Barry Bonds. Let me first make it clear what this post is not about. It's not about whether Bonds should or...
Retro Reds: Filling the void in Reds-centric video games
Though I haven't researched this extensively, a cursory scan of Google and my brain tells me there's never been a sitting Reds player to lend his name to a video game franchise or grace the cover of the annual edition of The Show, MLB 2K-whatever or their antecedents. Ken Griffey Jr. headlined a...
My Hate/Love Relationship With John Franco
John Franco was in the news this week -- he failed to appear on the necessary 5.0% of Hall of Fame ballots and won't be on the ballot again. It had me thinking about the former Mets closer and his status as one of the great "perception vs. reality" players of my lifetime. My first memories of the...
Evening Sporcle Quiz: Name The Players In The Baseball Hall Of Fame
This one is for the Hall of Fame junkies out there. It's updated through 2010, so Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven are not included. There are 232 total players -- good luck with some of the Veterans Committee selections. Sporcle -- Can You Name The Players In The National Baseball Hall Of...
Fantasy Baseball Morning Cup-O-Links: Hall of Fame Day
Do I link to too many Hall of Fame articles for a fantasy baseball blog? I can't help myself when there's no real baseball going on. At least the voting results will be announced today and there was a bit of transaction news in the past 24 hours or so. Fantasy Baseball The Hardball Times introduces...
Fantasy Baseball Morning Cup-O-Links: Everyone Loves Craig Kimbrel
Fantasy BaseballIt seemed like everyone decided yesterday to proclaim their love for this Braves reliever who looks like the front-runner for their closing job in 2011. Bloomberg Sports looked at the candidates for the Braves' job, and settled on Craig Kimbrel. Then our own Jack Moore said how he...
