A Cincinnati native, lifelong Reds fan, father of 3 boys and husband of one wife. My favorite ballpark has to be the living history museum that is Fenway Park. I've traveled to about half of the current MLB ballparks, plus a few others that are no longer with us like Shea, Turner Field, and Old Yankee Stadium. I started Ballpark Savvy to make your next ballpark trip more fun and affordable.

We want to celebrate those who made the Braves one of the …
Last Updated: August 27th, 2026 by Jake CainWhat's in a name? A name is something that a person responds to. A name can be something that creates connection. Nicknames in baseball are some of the most special connections in sports. Why? Because every player, big or small, gets their shot at the spotlight whenever they are in the lineup. When that public address announcer activates their microphone and bellows a player's name and number coming …

Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Jake CainLast Updated: May 26th, 2026 by Michael Schatz Second base has always been where baseball’s most complete players make their mark. The position demands quick hands, sharp instincts, and the ability to turn two when it matters most. Over the decades, the game has changed dramatically, but the best second basemen have always found ways to dominate. Some were pure hitters in an era of contact, others combined …
Last Updated: August 21st, 2026 by Jake CainThere have been well over 20,000 players who have logged at least one Major League Baseball game. That's over 20,000 names.

Heck, maybe you were using psychological warfare and throwing inside heat like Bob …

It's a part of the game that is considered defense (or at least defense-adjacent, depending on who you ask), but it can also be used to attack the offense in ways where the opposition can be made to look like they're on the defensive. We've put together a list of the greatest pitchers in history who always made hitters …
Last Updated: August 19th, 2026 by Jake CainI was watching some Little League baseball recently, and it reminded me of my days growing up and making my observations as a kid on my Little League team.
