Last Updated: August 28th, 2026 by Matthew BrownI recently visited Chicago for the first time, and Wrigley Field was definitely at the top of my list to try to catch a game. I am so glad I did. It was one of those regular games in the middle of July, and I'm very happy to have shared the experience with my dad, who had never been to Wrigley Field either. I can just tell that …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael GriffinThere have been a TON of on-field fights between baseball opponents. We’d probably have to do at least 50 slides, bare minimum. But there have been plenty of times when friction has spilled into one team’s dugout. You try spending six months or more with 25 guys … there are bound to be times when something rubs someone the wrong way. The results are here — from brawling …
Last Updated: August 27th, 2026 by Matthew Brown I have no problem saying this: third base is the coolest position in baseball. I know that shortstop is where superstars go to work, first base is where power is supplied, and center field displays all five tools on a regular basis, but third, for my money, is the coolest of them all. It requires a certain swagger to play it at a high level. It's about …
Last Updated: September 14th, 2026 by Matthew BrownEvery baseball fan has seen a trade that has heavily favored one team over the other. I would say that it's sort of a rite of passage for a young baseball fan to come to their own conclusion and realize what's at stake in these trades. So let's take a look back at some of the most obvious one-sided trades in baseball history and see if they can …
Last Updated: September 8th, 2026 by Michael SchatzThe Baseball Hall of Fame is such a hallowed recognition that it easily receives the most criticism of any sports hall of fame. There's a lot of frustration that goes into it, but also just so much passion that makes these debates fun. For fans, it's a bit of why we love this sport, as baseball can be so scrutinized down to the smallest statistic. There are so …
Last Updated: August 28th, 2026 by Matthew BrownFrom the concrete confines of Olympic Stadium to Nationals Park, the Expos/Nationals franchise has seen its share of baseball greatness. Gary Carter and Andre Dawson reached Cooperstown, while many other stars remain outside; Ryan Zimmerman and Stephen Strasburg have not yet reached their first BBWAA ballots. Here are 20 players who made this franchise shine across two countries. 20. Bill Gullickson: The Curveball King of Olympic Stadium His …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael GriffinTom Glavine, one of the best lefty pitchers of all time, didn’t excel right away. In fact, he lost 17 games his first full season as a rookie. Part of that was because he was pitching for a putrid Braves team. He showed signs of turning things around fairly quickly, though, and like his franchise, he was soon dominating. While not overpowering (he never struck out more than …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael SchatzThe 1970s were baseball’s polyester decade, when artificial turf met natural talent and third base became the domain of legends. From Veterans Stadium to Yankee Stadium, these hot corner heroes defined a generation with leather gloves that seemed magnetized and bats that could change pennant races with one swing. 19. Carney Lansford – The Late 70s Rookie Who Started Something Special Lansford burst onto the scene in 1978 …
Last Updated: October 15th, 2026 by Matthew BrownPedro Martinez has a case to be called the greatest pitcher of all time. Part of that case is the era that he pitched in. It is considered the toughest era for pitchers because of all the steroid-using hitters who grew in size and clobbered baseballs. Through all of that, Martinez performed like any other great who ever toed the rubber. Let's take a look at a list …
Last Updated: September 16th, 2026 by Matthew Brown The National Baseball Hall of Fame has been one of the most highly regarded Hall of Fame homes in all of sports. Baseball legends have their legacies cast in bronze for generations to look upon. This honor is among hundreds of thousands of players who have reached the highest level of the sport. I don't think any Hall of Fame is as expansive or exclusive as baseball's. …
