Burdi signs with Padres

Likewise, hope everything works out positively for him. Great arm, hard worker, but keeps getting bad breaks healthwise.

Negro Leagues recognized as Major Leagues by MLB

My Dad would go to see the Greys in the late 30's and after he returned from Europe after the war. He said that most years, they were a better experience than watching the Bucs, and cheaper too.

What Move do the Pirates need to make?

I would sign Realmuto also - a strong catcher would help in the development of the young pitchers. As a hitter, he could anchor the line-up out of the 3 or 5 spot.

2021 Baseball HOF Ballots

<t>What a hitter he was. His power alone was breathtaking. I saw him hit a homerun OVER the coke sign atop the left center field bleachers at Connie Mack. For those not familiar with CMS, that would be like hitting one out in right center at Forbes, which was quite poke. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> If h...

Theo Epstein leaving Cubs

<r>There was a story a couple months ago in USA Sports Weekly, that he would step down after 2021, which would have been 10 years in Chicago. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Wonder what's next for him? Philadelphia will be looking to replace McPhail - could be a possibility. See item 4 in the link below.<br...

2021 Baseball HOF Ballots

<t>Thanks for the correction on the weighted vote - I apparently confused it with votes like MVP & Cy Young - my mistake.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I think the votes should be public as well. As for write-ins, I could have stated it better - they aren't allowed, but Rose still got votes...
