• The Boys of SummerThe 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...2024See also World Series breaking news today -

• It’s time for the Royals to honor George SpriggsOur only alumni The Royals have made some significant moves this spring, inducting Bo Jackson, John Schuerholz and Cedric Tallis into the team’s Hall of Fame.

• 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 Roger Maris injury update -

• Reggie Jackson’s emotional, heartfelt answer about racism was a can’t-miss MLB momentThis should be mandatory viewing for any sports fan. Alex Rodriguez thought he was throwing a soft ball question to Reggie Jackson on the Fox MLB Broadcast from Rickwood Field on Thursday, and he couldn’t have expected the emotional, thoughtful answer he got.

• A look back on Harry SimpsonHave Suitcase, will travel I don’t think there’s much debate that baseball players today are better than they were 50 or 100 years ago. For one thing, MLB is now integrated. It’s truly an international sport. The second thing is players at nearly all levels now play and work out year-round. With AAU and traveling teams, pre-teen ballplayers probably play more games in a summer than I played in the...2024Continue with Cleveland Indians -

• Who’s the fastest Royal of all time?Photo by David Cooper/Toronto Star via Getty Images That’s what speed do! Over the years, there is a perception that the Royals are a franchise infatuated by speed. Don’t get me wrong, speed is something you can’t teach, and I enjoy a stolen base, a triple or a terrific outfield play as much as the next guy. And speed most often facilitates those plays. But if a hitter can’t get on base, t...2023Visit the page Randy Johnson -
