This one’s pretty easy, because it says “Jackie Robinson Day, April 15, 2007” on the message board beneath the Wrigley Field scoreboard. Credit again goes to BCB reader Clark Addison. In fact, it’s the very first Jackie Robinson Day, and Griffey was the player most responsible for making that happen. April 15, 2007 was the […]

It has been a hell of a holiday week for me, culminating in my laptop taking a crap when we left. That’s okay, Jess is a professional, and he still got things done this week.

A clash with Utah is all that sits between Washington and the program’s second deep dive into Big Ten conference play. Husky Nation entered this season with higher expectations than previous years, let alone last year’s headache of a campaign, but hopefulness has shifted to worry.

I think we can all agree that the Pittsburgh Pirates have had a successful offseason thus far — signing Ryan O-Hearn and trading for Brandon Lowe — but they could really put the cherrry on the Sundae if they manage to sign Japanese first baseman/ third baseman Kazuma Okamoto in the coming days, and the […]

Heading into this offseason, I put a very low number on the odds that the St. Louis Cardinals would deal Willson Contreras as I saw him to be an important transition piece in the first year of the true rebuild. While Brendan Donovan is commonly referred to as a “good clubhouse guy”, Contreras felt more […]
