With an opposite field single in the first inning of Saturday’s game against the Colorado Rockies, Detroit Tigers’ slugger Miguel Cabrera, 39, became the 33rd player in MLB history to record 3,000 hits and the first Venezuelan-born player to accomplish the feat. Read more…
First off, I want everyone to know that I know that neither Randy Arozarena nor Adolis Garcia were pieces in St. Louis’s trade for the former Rockies’ third baseman. This is merely a hypothetical question. Both of the young up-and-comers started their professional baseball careers within the St. Louis Cardinals… Read more…
At this point, I’m pretty sure the Arizona Diamondbacks have angered a higher being. Twenty-two straight losses on the road — tied for the longest such streak in MLB history. Starting with a loss to the Miami Marlins on May 4, the Diamondbacks have yet to win a single game away from Chase Field, and […]

{ The Gold Glove awards this past season are completely based on a statistical formulation, much to the chagrin of Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, that believed that Republicans could have guessed him on his own standing and granted him a 10th success, although he did not speed out one of the best three defensive catchers […]
Yadier Molina is among the finest defensive catchers of all time, his nine Gold Gloves standing next in baseball history in the game’s hardest position, supporting Ivan Rodriguez’s 13 and Johnny Bench’s 10. Read…
