Re: Baseball changes over the years

another change (minor one) is the introduction of batting gloves and base running gloves. I don't remember exactly when first batting gloves were used but guessing early 1970's. Anyone remember if Lou Brock used them at end of his career?

I don't think Omar Moreno wore gloves on the basepaths.

I will be interested in what you guys have to say about that.
That shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Re: Merry Christmas

Hey, Dave, I really appreciate you rooting for me to get a hole-in-one but I have a better chance of becoming the queen of England. Every time I tee up a ball on a Par 3 hole, I have a one in 12,500 chance (those are the odds for a typical amateur). Even a math nitwit like me knows it ain’t happeni...

Re: Martin Perez a Pirate

When they officially announce the signing of Perez, and Cutch two players will have to be taken off the 40 man roster. One of the players could be Alika Williams, but if they make a trade from some of their surplus infield players he may remain on the roster for depth. I’m scratching my head wonder...

Re: Off Season Roster Discussion

biggest acquisition of the off season (so far) Edward Olivares from KC. I am ok with this trade. I assume Olivares will platoon in RF with Palacios. I now want them to sign or acquire two MLB starting pitchers and sign Cutch which Jason Mackey indicated may happen next week. After that if they want...
