2017 MLB Mock Draft 1.0

The 2017 MLB Draft is just under six months and with both the college and high school baseball seasons getting underway in a few months it is a perfect time for N2K Sports’ preseason mock draft. The Colorado Rockies (11th pick) and the St. Louis Cardinals (19th pick) both lost their draft picks due to…

What If Ted Williams Never Went To War?

I think that perhaps one of the most intriguing debates in baseball is whether or not Ted Williams would have become the consensus greatest player of all-time if not for his three years of military service during World War II. I decided to do some analysis based on players with similar career paths at the…

2017 Baseball Hall of Fame Preview

Last year, Ken Griffey Jr. broke the record for highest percentage of the ballots received, en route to being formally inducted (although his plaque sports a Mariners logo, and not a backwards baseball cap). Along with Griffey Jr., catcher Mike Piazza also was inducted on his fourth go-around with the ballot process. A lot of the…

2016 MLB Playoff Preview Part 6: The World Series

My League Championship predictions were lackluster to say the least and although I still managed to go 1/2, I now am 8/16 and my World Series prediction will be the deciding tally mark on whether I finish my MLB Postseason predictions above or below 0.500. The last time the Cleveland Indians won the World Series…

David Ortiz Solidifies Himself as One of the Greatest Humans to Ever Live

David Ortiz went undercover as a Lyft driver in Boston for an amazing video but I have a little problem with the video. My problem is HOW ON EARTH do these people not recognize him!!! It is not as though he is doing this stunt somewhere unfathomable to see him, he is driving around the…

Red Sox Clinch Playoff Berth!

In case you missed it, last night after the Red Sox’s 6-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays they officially clinched a playoff berth. The Sox have guaranteed themselves at least a one-game AL Wild Card game, but if they want to skip over that one-game playoff they will need to win the American League…
