You’re probably familiar with this story, but just in case it’s foreign, let’s review: About two decades ago, the Red Sox found themselves in a seemingly impossible position during the mid stages of what turned out to be a classic ALCS. To put it bluntly, they needed a comeback never before seen in the long […]

In an Orioles system that has brought a slew of top young players to the majors in recent years, Enrique Bradfield Jr. is a different kind of prospect. He doesn’t have the #1 overall pick pedigree of Adley Rutschman or Jackson Holliday. He doesn’t have the power potential of Colton Cowser, Jordan Westburg, or Coby […]

In the summer of 2010, I was walking through the gargantuan Miller Park AmFam Field parking lot with my aunt. While navigating the rows of tailgaters leading up to the House That Selig Built, we were approached by a guy in a Chicago White Sox jersey. Why a South Sider was present for a Twins […]

33 years ago today The Blue Jays won their first World Series. It seems our first World Series win isn’t as celebrated as our second one, likely because it didn’t end in a walk-off homer. But it did end with Joe Carter jumping up and down. Game 6 was a 4-3, 11-inning win. We were […]
