Last Updated: June 17th, 2026 by Michael GriffinThe thing about Wade Boggs was that he got his career started relatively late for someone who was a superstar. The Red Sox initially didn’t like his singles-hitting approach, and he was 25 when he got everyday status. Albert Pujols was 21 when he got called up, for example. Boggs made the most of his time, though, carving out a Hall of Fame career. Here are 10 times …

The 1980s were a prime era for the position. So many players were able to excel in so many different ways …

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.

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: September 2nd, 2026 by Michael SchatzI was talking to a friend recently about a new restaurant in town. It seemed interesting and it seemed like something that I would enjoy, but I hadn't seen anything about it on social media. My friend told me he had heard great things about this place. They don't have an online presence yet as they have just been using word of mouth to gain traction, that worked …
