Last Updated: October 2nd, 2026 by Matthew BrownThere are all kinds of reasons for a baseball fan to love or hate a player. Many of those reasons surround their skill and what they are able to contribute or take away from their favorite team. Then there's that next level of antagonism. That's where you're able to ask basically any fan across the country, and they'll have some sort of negative opinion, or at least an …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Matthew BrownLast Updated: May 26th, 2026 by Michael Schatz Second base has always been baseball’s most demanding position, requiring equal parts athleticism, intelligence, and grit. The men who master it become the heartbeat of their teams, orchestrating defense while providing offensive spark from a traditionally weak-hitting spot. Cooperstown’s doors remained closed to many deserving candidates who spent careers making the difficult look routine. Tony Lazzeri had already been inducted …
Last Updated: October 14th, 2026 by Shaiel Ben-EphraimLook, I'm just going to say it: first basemen are very underrated in terms of the importance of their defensive contribution. They touch the ball more than anyone; their mistakes can be absolutely crucial in every game. They scoop the balls up, they block them, dig cold runners, do all sorts of things that are very different, and it doesn't really show up in the stats, and everyone …
Last Updated: October 15th, 2026 by Matthew BrownBaseball has historically been the perfect sport to have debates on. The detailed statistics that were kept from the very beginning have helped to promote those debates on who really is great and who isn't. We're here to talk about those who have had big success in their careers, some of them with all-time numbers, and look at the areas of their game where they were lacking to …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael GriffinRemember when a simple bat flip could start a bench-clearing brawl? Even taking a longer home run trot could end up with someone getting a ball in the rib cage. Then came social media highlight reels and MLB’s “Let the Kids Play” campaign. As a result, hitters became more creative with their wooden-bat acrobatics. Yes, some pitchers and managers still consider it one of baseball’s ultimate signs of …
Last Updated: October 13th, 2026 by Matthew BrownThe captain of a sports team is always respected and beloved by fans. More often than not, the captain on a baseball diamond is the shortstop. They hold a big role in the dugout and are regularly looked to by teammates as the heartbeat of the team. The Hall of Fame has a number of shortstops, but there are so many more that deserve recognition. Let's go through …
Last Updated: October 8th, 2026 by Matthew BrownPitchers are such a unique type of star in sports. Few other positions function as a defensive position but have to attack in order to gain success. We've got a list of legends who you may be surprised at the missing accolades or number thresholds in their careers. That doesn't mean that they don't have that legendary perception from the public. It's just looking into the stuff that …
Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael GriffinLook, this list means no disrespect to anyone. The baseball season’s long, and then the playoffs can be anyone’s game. But these are instances when the superior team lost. Also, if you’re a Mets fan, you need to brace yourself. Deep Breaths. Ok, let’s go: 10. The 2017 Houston Astros: Baseball’s Most High-Tech Heist Bang, bang! That wasn’t the sound of champagne corks popping – it was Houston’s …
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.
