Last Updated: September 18th, 2026 by Matthew BrownI think the 2010s were a renaissance for elite third basemen. That's when you saw players like Nolan Arenado and Manny Machado be elite at both offense and defense. In a way, they were showing a side of baseball that hadn't been seen in about 30 years. The 1980s were a prime era for the position. So many players were able to excel in so many different ways …
Last Updated: September 24th, 2026 by Matthew BrownCatchers are such a unique breed of athletes. They have a skill set that is specialized to be able to handle pitches coming in at 100 miles per hour and spinning at over 3,000 revolutions per minute. They also still have to be able to contribute in the batting order alongside all the other position players on a daily basis. When it comes to good catchers who dedicated …
Last Updated: October 21st, 2026 by Matthew BrownThe National Baseball Hall of Fame is all about telling the story of baseball. In a way, pitchers are baseball's greatest storytellers. They may not affect every game, but when they do, they are the ones who are in control of the narrative most of the time. In fact, I would say that a hitter's job is to disrupt the narrative that a pitcher is trying to set. …
Last Updated: September 23rd, 2026 by Matthew BrownThe Cardinals are one of the blue-blood franchises of baseball. Coming from the 19th century, there have been so many legends who have helped shape the history of the MLB. Stan Musial and Bob Gibson gave way to Albert Pujols and Scott Rolen. All of those guys made it to the Hall of Fame in a respectable amount of time. We want to focus on the Redbirds who …
Last Updated: October 9th, 2026 by Matthew BrownReputation goes a long way in sports. The fact that baseball has been around since before film cameras could catch any action is part of the reason why we as fans have had to rely on reputation throughout history. Even when TV was a thing, reporters weren't looking at stats the same way as we do today. We want to take a look at some pitchers in history …
Last Updated: August 28th, 2026 by Matthew BrownOne of the fastest rising franchises in baseball history has been home to many great players. While these heroes might not have bronze plaques, they live forever in the memories of fans who remember when baseball in the desert meant pool splashes and Randy Johnson’s mullet. Let’s celebrate 20 D-backs who deserved more recognition. 20. Brandon Webb: The Sinker That Disappeared Before shoulder injuries cut his career tragically …
Last Updated: September 25th, 2026 by Matthew BrownThe Milwaukee Brewers have had an interesting franchise history. The first iteration of the name actually was an original member of the American League back in 1901. Shortly after, they became the St. Louis Browns, and the Brewers name was used as a AAA team for 50 years. In 1953, the Milwaukee Braves gave the city an MLB team for over a decade before moving to Atlanta. Finally, …
Last Updated: October 15th, 2026 by Matthew BrownIt's kind of hard to believe that it's been over half a century since the Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers in 1972. It took them a little over 50 years to grace Arlington with its first World Series championship. Through all of that history, we wanted to look back and list some of the great contributors to this Texas institution. From lifetime Rangers to impact players in …

While these heroes might not have bronze plaques, they live forever in the memories of fans who remember when baseball at altitude meant 14-12 games and the Blake Street Bombers. Let’s celebrate 20 Rockies who deserved more …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Matthew BrownFrom the brown-and-yellow days at Jack Murphy Stadium to the modern beauty of Petco Park, the Padres franchise has seen its share of stars who never got their call to Cooperstown. While these heroes might not have bronze plaques, they live forever in the memories of fans who remember when baseball in San Diego meant fish tacos, beach balls, and the sound of marine layer-deadened fly balls. Let’s …
