• The 1975 Topps countdown, worst to best (No. 20-1)This is it. The final episode of the 1975 Topps worst-to-best countdown.This series lasted a little longer than I had intended. Those who wanted me to finish it within a week back when I started in April of last year probably gave up a long time ago.

• Dodgers' greatest World Series bangersOver the past seven years, I've learned that if the Dodgers are in the World Series, I'm going to need to post about it -- and I probably can't post about anything else.It's just difficult to get interested in a regular topic when All Of That is going on (I actually get annoyed when following along on social media during a Series game when a non-Series post slips in).

• Bobby Witt Jr. is putting together an MVP-caliber season at the wrong timePhoto by Kevin M. Cox/Getty Images Bobby Witt Jr. has had one of the best seasons ever for a shortstop, but it will be hard to overtake Aaron Judge in the MVP race. Bobby Witt is having an all-time great season, especially for a shortstop. Going back to 1969, only two shortstops have put up more than 10 fWAR, 1991 Cal Ripken Jr. and 2002 Alex Rodriguez. For bWAR there are three including ...2024Read about Bobby Witt injuries -

• Today in 1984 Cubs history: Dennis Eckersley acquired in trade for Bill BucknerPhoto by Ron Vesely/Getty Images The Cubs needed pitching, and they got some. But it was an emotional moment in team history, too. When the Cubs acquired Bill Buckner from the Dodgers in January 1977, he wasn’t happy with the deal. He’d come through the Dodger system with Ron Cey, Bill Russell, Steve Garvey and others. They’d won the 1974 NL pennant together and he strongly felt part of th...2024Read about Dennis Eckersley injuries -

• Top Five Vintage Team Cards for Player CollectorsSay Hey! What did I send you again?In November 2023, I mailed some vintage Giants to a collector friend. When they arrived, he said, "thanks for the Willie Mays card!" That gave me pause. Did I package up a key card, a top-tier HOFer, and then forget about it? Is age catching up with me in a way that benefits others? (That'd be my preferred outcome for aging, to be honest.)In truth, I sent a sort-...2023Read about Willie Mays injuries -

There’s always room for improvement. We work on it before the game, finding tendencies and cues.” Witt’s speed completely changes ...2023Read about Denny Medley injuries
