The bloggers for the b5media sports channel were asked to write a blog entry about a childhood sports memory. For me, when I think of childhood sports memories, there’s really only one that stands out.
I really started following baseball in the 1988 season. Both of my parents are Los Angeles Dodgers […]

J.D. Drew and Ila Borders were playing in the Northern League. Kevin Mench led the NCAA in home runs, while Brian Roberts led in stolen bases. You guessed it, we’re back in 1998 for our latest look at baseball’s best prospects from that year. Sit back, relax, and enjoy…

Hey, here’s a fun team that doesn’t get a lot of attention. The 1966 Pittsburgh Pirates went 92-70, good enough for third place in an extremely tight National League race. The Dodgers won the pennant, with the Giants back of them by 1 1/2 games. The Bucs, in turn, finished 1 […]

I think 1998 is right around when I first started to realize how difficult it is to develop a big-league catcher. Five backstops made Baseball America’s Top 100 prospects that year, and none of ‘em did much. Still, this latest batch includes a former home-run champion and a Cy Young Award winner…

Admit it. You’d never heard of the Worcester Ruby Legs. It’s okay, I’d never heard of them either.
The Ruby Legs played three years in the National League, 1880 - 1882. They started out bad and kept getting worse. In 1881, they sported a 32-50 record, good for last place in the […]

America was listening to Fuel, Everclear, Creed (noooooo!!!!), Barenaked Ladies, and the dulcet tones of Rammstein. Lethal Weapon 4 was playing in theaters, because if ever a movie franchise screamed out for a fourth movie, it was Lethal Weapon. Or maybe Police Academy.

Where were we? Ah yes, Terry Kennedy was being named Minor League Manager of the Year; Jay Gibbons was busy winning the Pioneer League MVP; and 41-year-old Dave Stieb, after a 5-year layoff, was making a comeback and earning “best control” honors in Baseball America’s “best tools” survey.
It must be 1998, the year that neither […]
Ron Necciai’s name came across my virtual desk not long ago, specifically the fact that he once fanned 27 batters in a game. Yeah, that got my attention.
So I did a little surfing and found a fascinating article on Neccai. The game took place May 13, 1952, in Bristol, Va., and according to Necciai, “I […]
