Babe Ruth did it 9 times and so did Lou Gehrig. Barry Bonds 7 times along with Ted Williams. But we call out a few of the names that might blow your mind. Getting on base 300 times means almost getting on base an average 2 times every game you…
While Bregman, Bellinger, Tucker, and Valdez wait for some team to pull the trigger and sign them, two more Japanese League players - Imai and Okamoto signed with the Astros and Blue Jays respectively. Baseball WAR scores are not adjusted for when players played. But that does not acknowledge what…

Dr. Stephen W. Dittmore has written a book that needed to be written about Jim "Junior" Gilliam. Gilliam followed HOFer Jackie Robinson through Montreal to Brooklyn and was signed by Branch Rickey. Not quite a HOFer himself, Gilliam was a member of four Dodger World Series winning teams - one…
Both manager Terry Collins and crew chief Tom Hallion were on hand at the Queens Baseball Convention to discuss the famous rant by Terry Collins in the 2016 after Chase Utley of the Dodgers broke Met IF Ruben Tejada's leg on a slide at 2B. Neither knew the whole thing…
The Mets began 2024 terribly. But then they got hot and made it all the way to the NLCS where they lost to the Dodgers. That made them think they might be only a step or two away from making and winning the World Series. It all came crashing down…

Closer Robert Suarez goes to Braves who only need to figure out shortstop to be a juggernaut once again. The Tigers signed future HOFer Kenley Jansen & re-signed Kyle Finnegan. Sure doesn't look like a team about to trade 2 time AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. Pete Alonso leaves…

Former #Phillies and now free agent Kyle Schwarber reputedly received a 4 year $100M offer from the #pirates. Good on them! This has to make Paul Skenes a least a little bit happier. #Reds could also use Schwarber who is from Ohio and would send many baseballs flying out of…

#Orioles signed one-time #Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley to a 2 year $28M contract. Helsley had a nightmare couple of months w the Mets but the stuff and velocity is still there so he's likely to regain his All-star form. But he was awful in New York!

There are those that feel Juan Soto doesn't run hard enough every time. That Soto is not a clutch performer after his 160 OPS+ season for the Mets in 2025 - his career average BTW. Pete Alonso will always be a beloved Met and will hold the team home run…
