With more and more names coming out as steroid users in Major League Baseball, our childhood heroes keep taking shots to the image. Each day that poster of Ken Griffey Jr. that we bought at the swap meet when we were 13 gets more and more suspicious. So it’s time we woke up and faced […]

Running Through the Sprinklers:Our Favorite Summer “Sports”

In about a month, after both the NHL and NBA finish up their playoffs, we will be down to two sports: baseball and waiting for football season. Sad selection, I know.

Position Power Poll: 3B

This week brings us to the hot corner. Now, since A-Rod and Ripken Jr. already made the list of shortstops, they are considered disqualified from this list, although both would make it on merit alone. But this is my project and I can make arbitrary decisions like that whenever I want!

Last week, I looked at one half of the 4-6-3 (or 6-4-3) double play combo, so this week we’ll look at the other half.
First, a recap of the “rules”:

Must have been in their prime (we’ll use making the All-Star team as a measure) when I was intently following baseball (1993-present)
