6-29-25 We just looked at the best and worst contract extensions. Kind of staying with the best and worst theme I found this video looking at trades.

7-27-25 The Torpedo bat was all the talk at the beginning of this season. It all resulted from a Yankee team home run explosion in one game. Suddenly the Torpedo bat was all over media.

What is everyones opinion on the Torpedo bat now. Take a look at this video, "The Numbers Behind The Torpedo Bats 3 Months Later".
8-3-25 Another Hall of Famer has passed on. You have all probably heard that Ryne Sandberg died this week. Sandberg was a very good all around player. He had power for a 2nd baseman before that became the "thing". He had an outstanding goldem glove, hit for average, had a great on base percentage, and had excellent stolen base totals. Add in the fact that he was a team leader and you spell all-star and utlimately Hall of Famer. Here is a nice tribute "Remembering Cubs legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg (1959-2025)".
