    • Former Dodgers Draft Pick Dies of Cancer
    It has become part of franchise lore that Mike Piazza was not the first catcher selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1988 draft. The future Hall of Famer was the last player the Dodgers took at any position. Hector Ortiz, chosen in the 35th round, was the only other catcher from the Dodgers’ …...2024

    • The most Hall of Famers, update 19
     The excitement over the selection of the most recent Baseball Hall of Fame class has passed, but I haven't addressed it with my usual Hall of Fame update yet. I'll cite the usual laziness and busyness.There are four more people to add to the list of the most Hall of Famers for each Topps flagship set -- Adrian Beltre, Todd Helton, Joe Mauer and Jim Leyland. Also, I always find more sets to i...2024

    I still haven't bought any retail since covid, and while I like what I've seen of the 2024 Topps flagship design, I haven't been compelled to go out and buy any.

    • Another Dodger is going to the HOF
     The Hall of Fame announced its 2024 class this evening (once upon a time this was held much earlier in the day) and thanks to the constant vote tracking online, there wasn't much of a surprise about who was selected. The most I heard about this class in the lead-up is whether Billy Wagner will make it (He didn't). Wagner didn't play for the Dodgers. Neither did official HOF selections J...2024

    • The Michigan sign-stealing allegations enter Bobby Valentine territory
    Why does the Michigan sign-stealing story remind us of Bobby Valentine? June 9, 1999 was a warm and steamy night in Queens, and New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine was feeling the heat, literally and figuratively. The Mets were sitting just two games above .500, and were six games back in the National League East. Valentine had just seen three of his coaches — pitching coach Bob Apodaca, hittin...2023
