    HIGHLY recommend Bosse Field in Evansville, Indiana. Triplets use to play there, A League of Their Own was filmed there and it is the third oldest park (1915) behind Fenway and Wrigley.

    Hopefully it won't be long until we say Mizeday in the same reverence we use to say Verday!

    Love that Miggy is getting a few innings in at 1B.

    Aaaaah, something to wipe my butt with.

    WOW! I did not see this. My two oldest graduated from Northrop and I have many friends from both schools.

    I 100% support this!!

    Any umpire that would allow this type of behavior to continue in a game was not properly trained, if at all. Sounds like this 16 year old umpire had zero support from his assigner or league.

    Simple cure for bad parents. Tell the coach if they do not shut their parents up immediately, the game will be forfeited, works every time. Of course, I have only used this approach at the little league level and will usually let it go on for a short while to see if they get tired of yelling at me as I ignore them. Umpires also need to have thick skin and not be so easily offended either.

    Probably why it only lasted two years! Without Photoshop then, maybe it was a head of it's time! LOL

    1907 AC Dietsche Postcard, Ty Cobb - Beckett says $150-300, condition pending.

    I don't remember, that was a decade ago. Do you still have them? 🤪

    Want to shorten the game by 30-45 minutes? Maybe longer? Reduce the 4-5 minute commercial breaks between every half inning to a minute each.

    Weird fact about year 1 of USFL 2.0 - all games for all teams will be played at one location. All team are expected to play in their respective regions in year 2.

    The Portland Tigers would be dead to me. Go Wheels!!

    The reason there were less of the last series or two is because no one hardly bought them. By that time of the year, it had turned to football season and all the kids were buying football cards instead of baseball cards.

    Very true. Should it be though? Should the MLBPA umbrella protect minor league players also?? I am not aware of a association for minor leaguers.
  19. davidsb623
    This is the only real player issue I see today. Minor leaguers are typically paid below poverty level. They were better compensated with the minor league reorganization last year but there is still a long way to go. Minor league coaches also.

    There were 15 pitchers in 2019 that had 200+ innings. 2021 was an aberration because of the lack of innings pitched in 2020. Pitch counts are driving the reduced innings. The number one reason for less innings (pitches) is the teams investment into pitchers. They do not want them to throw too much and hurt their $10-40M a year investment. All other issues are arbitrary.

    The minimum player salary is $570k, hardly going backwards. Maybe as a percentage to owner profit??? Sorry, have to side with owners 100% Players are treated like gold, never wanting for anything. I would play for $0, with or without the MANY additional perks. Owners risk everything, players risk nothing.

    Or how about this year when he evaded the Pirates 1B on a routine grounder to help score a run and ended up on 2B? Freaking awesome play!!!
  23. davidsb623
    Hardly overpriced at $5.
  24. davidsb623
    Hot 'n Ready going up a $1 as soon as a SS is signed!!

    Hmmm, with Clemens, might not have had to trade Smoltz. Rotation would have looked good going into the 90s.
