  1. The Draught

    [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Congratulations to Andre “The Hawk” Dawson, who this weekend was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame by the BBWAA. [/SIZE][/FONT]

    [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]A career well deserving of a plaque in Cooperstown.[/SIZE][/FONT]

    [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Snubbed, again, was pitcher Bert Blyleven, who has spent the past 13 ballots waiting to get his name called. With 287 career wins, 3701 strikeouts and an effective 3.31 career ERA, it’s hard to believe Blyleven ...

  2. The 'other' 500 HR Club

    [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]500 home runs-a coveted milestone that every slugger desires. 500 home runs gets you the chicks. 500 home runs gets you into the Viper Room. 500 home runs gets you into the Hall of Fame. In 2007, it was Thome, Thomas and Rodriguez. Manny did it in 2008. Sheffield did it last season. Carlos Delgado is 27 homers short, but he probably won’t make the exclusive club this season, considering both his hip injury and that no team has signed him yet. For the first time in 4 seasons, ...

  3. Hawk in 2010

    [FONT=Georgia]The Baseball Hall of Fame. Perhaps the most debated topic in baseball since, well, there was no Hall of Fame and people debated about whether a Hall of Fame was even necessary. Since the inaugural class of 1936 to the most recent induction of Henderson, Rice and Gordon, we have debated not only the worthiness of the enshrined, but the merit of those not enshrined. [/FONT]

  4. The Mustache

    [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=2]I don’t like Braden Looper. [/SIZE][/FONT]
    [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
    [FONT=Georgia]It’s not so much his numbers that bother me, it’s that stupid smile he always flashes before each pitch. And it’s not even a smile, more like a teeth-clenching, lips pulled back, toothy snapshot that just annoys me. The guy gives up 6 runs in the first and he’s flashing teeth like Eric Estrada just walked in the room. [/FONT]

  5. Investing 101

    [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]As a youngster, I never once considered my sports card collection as an investment. I’d lay down two quarters for a pack of Pro Set football cards and pass the day pouring over the stats. It didn’t matter what is was worth, if I liked the card I’d put it in a binder, if not, it went into a box. It was a boy’s hobby, not an investment.[/SIZE][/FONT]

    [FONT=Georgia]My first “investment” in sports cards came in 1998, the summer Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were chasing ...
