You've probably read by now the story of a 12 year old girl who caught Ryan Howard's 200th career home run ball in a game at Florida earlier this season. While it has a happy ending, the circumstances that led to the conclusion will only paint the Phillies in a negative light yet again.

As has become customary when a player hits a milestone HR, the girl was asked to return the ball, ostensibly so that Howard could add it to his trophy case. Howard reached 200 HR faster than anyone ...

I just read a blog entry on Yahoo! Sports that disturbed me.

Matt Carson, a September call-up for the Oakland A's, hit his first major league homer Sept. 21 at Oakland, but the fan who caught the ball isn't willing to hand it over unless he gets $10,000.

Let me repeat that. $10,000.

That makes him no different than any number of boxers and wrestlers ...

The NY-Penn League's Tri-City Valleycats ended the home half of their season Sept. 1 with a 4-3 loss to Abderdeen, ensuring a 3rd straight last-place finish in the Stedler Division. In the majors, a last place team can't draw, and even if you're a playoff contender, such as the Florida Marlins, the locals are indifferent because management has squandered the talent that brought the city 2 World Series titles (1997 & 2003) and don't want to deal with it again, even though the Marlins are getting ...
