• Book it: I'm old-schoolAs a young baseball fan in the late 1970s, I really wanted the Macmillan Baseball Encyclopedia. I didn't know that the one I saw in advertisements was the third edition and it was released in 1976, which is why I was seeing it in every baseball publication I read in 1977, The Sporting News, Baseball Digest, etc. I eventually bought the softcover version from an ad in Baseball Diges...2026See more World Series breaking news -

• Material gainTake a look at this 1977 Topps Bobby Murcer card. Notice anything different? Sure you do. The card face is cloth, not cardboard. This fascinated me as a young collector. I was around 12 or 13 when I saw 1977 Topps cloth stickers advertised, probably in our subscription to Baseball Digest magazine. I couldn't conceive of how they could make a card sticker out of cloth. The fact that...2026Check it out Nolan Ryan breaking news

• Bill Melton: 1945-2024First South Side home-run champ, and longtime broadcaster, passes away at 79 He was an All-Star, an American League home run champion, and later if life a rarity: an honest pre- and postgame host covering the White Sox on television. Former White Sox third baseman Bill Melton passed away after a short illness Wednesday night in Phoenix, at the age of 79. His passing stunned the White Sox family, w...2024Visit the page Bill Melton injury report -
• Thank you lettersI come from a generation that made a big deal about thank you letters.I get why they did, but I didn't like writing them. Every year after Christmas, my mom got on me and my brother to write thank you's to grandmothers or aunts or whoever for sending whatever. I think sometimes I pulled out some paper and pen and scrawled a few lines, but I don't remember doing it that often so it's possible...2024 -
• The fascinating career of Elmer ValoFrom Slovakia to Municipal Over the years I’ve become fascinated with the history of the Kansas City Athletics. I’m not sure why, other than geographical relation. The teams themselves were mostly terrible. They never had a winning record in their 13-year stay in the city. The fans’ relationship with the team was often strained, first by numerous lopsided trades made with the Yankees and later by ...2024Read about Kansas City Athletics injury status -

• Legends for lessIt's almost nothing to own cards of retired players, so-called "legends cards," these days. Thanks to the MLB-Topps agreement, legends are included in virtually every current set. They're ubiquitous in inserts and in sets like Archives and Allen & Ginter. You can find cards of them for a quarter, which just doesn't seem right. Maybe that's because I knew a different time. As a youngste...2025Continue with Willie Mays salary rumors -

• Paul Skenes’ dominant season worthy of Rookie of the YearPhoto by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images Skenes came in with big expectations and surpassed all of them. It’s hard to put into words how much one player could mean to a sports franchise.

In the same city as Crosby as past greats like Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Joe...2024See more articles Paul Skenes salary rumors -

• “Sports Night” and the death of slow newsIt was a different time. We recently cut the cord and went to streaming. I know, I know. I’m late to the party, which I usually am on all things technology. My children are all early adopters. I’m more of a technological luddite. Eventually, I come around, usually kicking and screaming. I protested mightily at giving up my flip phone for a smartphone, but now can’t imagine life without it. The str...2024See also Night Baseball statistics -

Old news moves slowly. Over my many years as a baseball, and sports fan, I’ve accumulated an alarmingly large collection of memorabilia and other stuff. My children have other interests, so I’ve began to sell off and give away some items to reduce my hoard to a more manageable level. Going through my pile has given me a chance to re-examine things I haven’t seen in decades. For those of you who gr...2023Check it out George Brett statistics
