With the first month of baseball in the books and the ivy at Wrigley Field beginning to grow, it's about time for the annual Pete Rose gossip, and of course -- whether or not he deserves membership in the Hall of Fame. Years after walking away from Major League Baseball, Rose was accused of   more...

Miguel Tejada lied about his age as many players do. They do it so they are seen as phenoms. They play like they are 19, but they say they are 17. They lie to make themselves appear like a great deal. Kind of like using steroids.

While it's still too early to read to much into the early season stats, many unheralded players are off to impressive starts. If you drafted, picked up, or traded for some of the following players, your fantasy team is likely off to an equally impressive start. Although it would be foolish to   more...

Flashback...It's 1908 and the Chicago Cubs have just repeated as World Series champs behind pitchers Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown, Ed Reulbach, Jack Pfiester and Orval Overall. They defeated the Detroit Tigers four games to one in a rematch from the season before. Ironically the year that the   more...

I rarely turn to ESPN for articles and opinions, but Wojo has hit it on the head with this one! I'm not even a Bonds or Sosa fan, but come on they both belong in the All-Star game this year! I'd much rather see Barry Lamar Bonds or Sammy Sosa bat on the main stage over a Chase Utley or Troy   more...

I know what the 1990's brought us in terms of All-Star Baseball. There was John Kruk's hilarious reaction to a Randy Johnson fastball that almost decapitated Kruk, and this probably would've been the most memorable All-Star moment of the 90's had the ball actually hit Kruk and taken his head off,   more...

When told some already had him on pace to become the best Jewish second baseman in baseball history, Ian Kinsler laughed and said, "I'll take it. That's something to shoot for."

According to Newsday, "Until Minaya hears something definite on Alou - and that could be a while - it's tough to ignore the $8.5-million investment for a short-term fix such as the Rangers' Sammy Sosa or the Pirates' Xavier Nady. The A's designated Milton Bradley for assignment yesterday."

2007 could be a historic year for MLB. Four players have a chance to break into the 500 HR club, joining an elite group that includes players such as Aaron, Bonds, Ruth, Mays, Jackson, and Williams. ARod, Thomas, Thome, and Manny could all reach the mark by the end of the season. If that   more...

Mike Piazza recently did an interview with BeliefNet.com, and it turns out he's an All-Star Christian. At least, that's what the headline tells us. Personally, when fielding my Christian All-Star team, I'd go with St. Peter behind the plate. That guy has a gun, and he's no chump with the bat in his   more...

I'm tired of all of this. Steroids this, steroids that. Why is so much time spent ruining the careers of some of the greatest baseball players of all-time and ruining an extremely entertaining decade of baseball?
