2-15-26 A baseball players offense is only part of his value. Defense is another significant factor. You can contribute defensively with the glove our with your arm. Some guys can really fling it. Some infielders and some outfielders have rifles for an arm. When you see them really let it fly it is impressive. Take a few minutes to marvel at the "MLB Cannon Arms 2025".
2-22-26 This week we lost another big baseball name, Bill Mazeroski. Mazeroski was a very good player better known for his defense than his bat. In fact his nickname was "the Glove". The defining moment of his career came in the 1960 World Series. Maz came up to bat in the bottom of the ninth in game 7 of a tied game and hit a walk off homer. It was the first walk off series winning home run in World Series history. After his playing career he was involved in a great baseball magaine. At one time it was the go to magazine for pre-season analysis. Here is a nice video tribute, "Remembering Pirates' 1960 World Series hero and Baseball Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski (1936-2026)".
3-1-26 Baserunning is making a comeback in Major League Baseball. The steroid era made teams power hungry and baserunning became an afterthought.

A great slide can make all the difference. Here is a video featuring " MLB Best Slides".
3-8-26 Sometimes you need a little help from your friends. Two heads are better than one. Those are but a couple of phrases that promote teamwork.
