Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael SchatzIf you’ve ever been lucky enough to watch your team win it all then you know how amazing it feels – sorry Rockies, Brewers, Rays, Mariners and Padres fans. You spend all season watching every pitch, every inning, every at-bat. You sweat through the pennant race in September. White knuckle it through the Wild Card, LDS and LCS. And then you’re there – the World Series. It’s beautiful …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael SchatzIf you ask me, the Home Run Derby has lost a little of its luster. All the new rules and the tournament-style play don’t do it for me. There was nothing wrong with it before, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Today, we’re going to do a little something fun and take a trip down memory lane with the 1993 Home Run Derby. This classic took …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael SchatzThere’s nothing quite like being called up to The Show. It’s a culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. For a lot of players, this amazing achievement comes as a reminder of just how hard baseball is. They all enjoyed years as the best players in Little League then high school then college then even the minors. But The Show is different. The stadiums have three …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael SchatzYankees Red Sox. Phillies Mets. Cardinals Cubs. Major League Baseball isn’t short on rivalries. But there’s one rivalry that stands above them all. Dodgers Giants. It’s a rivalry that has spanned decades, beginning in New York and then continuing on the West Coast – I guess when two teams hate each other they really hate each other. It’s spawned some of the most memorable moments – both good, …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael SchatzOn a cool San Francisco night in July 1963, fans at Candlestick Park witnessed arguably the greatest display of pitching the game has ever seen. It was Hall of Famer vs. Hall of Famer. The youngster taking on the vet. It was Juan Marichal and Warren Spahn. These two greats had already met five times before that epic night in 1963, with Marichal besting Spahn in four out …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael SchatzOctober 14, 2003. Wrigley Field. Game 6 of the NLCS. If you’re a baseball fan then you know exactly what this is referring to: The Bartman Incident. Odds are you remember exactly where you were when this infamous moment took place – I know I do. I was a freshman at Mississippi State, watching the game in the dorm with friends. I clearly remember all of us yelling …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael SchatzHave you ever held a major league bat? They’re heavy. Thick. They kind of have to be – they’re built to hit balls made of cork and rubber. They can’t be breaking easily. And for the most part, they don’t… Well, until Bo Jackson gets a hold of one. The date was June 21, 1989. Brewers and Royals. Jay Aldrich was on the mound for the Brewers. He …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael SchatzAs fans of sports, we’re routinely in awe of the athletes we watch. They do things we wish we could do. They run fast. Jump high. They possess incredible strength and agility. They seem larger than life. And then there’s Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson, in his prime, was a one-man highlight reel. He was going viral before going viral was cool. He would do things that no other …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael SchatzBaseball’s been around for well over 100 years. And for the entirety of that time players have been cheating. Can we blame them? Baseball’s hard. It’s the only sport where you can fail 7 out of 10 times and still end up in the Hall of Fame. Most cheating is harmless. Sign stealing. A little extra pine tar on the ball for better control. Other times it’s more …
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. Imagine how many more have been able to play at least one Minor League game. Not all of them are just the run-of-the-mill ordinary American names. As you probably know, baseball has some of the most fun names in sports. Let's go through a long list of …
