Fans who have followed Major League Baseball for a while most certainly remember Hall of Fame outfielder Reggie Jackson. The oft-controversial Abington, PA native and first round draft pick in 1966 by the (then) Kansas City Athletics out of Arizona State University spent a remarkable 21 seasons in the Bigs – 10 with the A’s, five […]

‘Twas Casey at the Bat
International superstar Shohei Ohtani is 2-for-7 (.286) with three walks and two strikeouts in his 10 plate appearances through the first two games of the 2024 National League Championship Series.

The One We’ve Been Waiting For
It was quick and it was subtle. And unless you turned on the Fox pregame show half an hour before Game-2 of the National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets at Dodger Stadium on Monday afternoon, you missed it.

Flaherty = Dialed
Twenty-eight-year-old Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty (who turns 29 on Tuesday) was nothing short of sensational in Game-1 of the 2024 National League Championship Series in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 53,503 on Sunday evening. All the popular Burbank, CA native and first-round draft pick in 2014 by the St. Louis Cardinals […]
Win or Go Home
It was the single worst inning of the season – or ever – in MLB history: That inning was the top of the second of Game 3 of the National League Division Series between the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers and their division-rival San Diego Padres in front of a Petco Park crowd of […]

Teo Does It Again
October 6th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández may not be the flashiest guy in Dodgers manager Dave Roberts‘ (almost) everyday starting lineup, but he unquestionably is among the most clutch. Teo did it again in the Dodgers 7-5 win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday evening in front of a packed Dodger Stadium crowd of 52,028 in […]

If It’s Good Enough For Freddie, It’s Good Enough For Us

Pete Rose – Yes or No?
October 1st, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka By now every baseball fan on the planet is aware that Pete Rose, the single best hitter to ever play the game, passed away on Monday in Nevada at the age of 83.
