  • The Boys of Summer
    • The Boys of Summer
    The original Dodgers One of the first books I ever read, The Boys of Summer, is a baseball classic written by Roger Kahn, published in 1972. The book was probably my father's, as he was a Dodger fan as a young man. Even now, at 83, my father can recite the Dodgers lineup, position by position, complete with colorful anecdotes about each player. I often wondered how a poor boy from western Kansas g...2024

    • The most Hall of Famers, update 20 (the final one, sort of)
      Ever since I dropped cable, I haven't viewed much of the Hall of Fame's annual induction ceremony, which used to be a regular must-watch. I saw a little bit of it on YouTube the other day and watched as the players already in the Hall were introduced at the beginning.

    Set Number: X6042 Win streaks are fun! The Royals recently had a nice little eight-game win streak. Winning streaks are fun. Of course, the gold standard of all win streaks is the season-ending kick that the 1977 team put together to blow open the American League West. The 1984 Detroit Tigers had a similar streak but the Tigers' streak, a 35-5 heater, was at the start of the season, which ...2024
