Chicago White Sox P Scott Carroll Asks Moises Alou Interesting Question on Twitter
Posted to Good Guys Wear BlackScott Carroll’s twitter game is on point. He took time out of his busy day to tweet Moises Alou a very important question.
Hey @MoisesAlou18 is it true that when you would piss on your hands, it would help with blisters?

Scotty doesn’t know, apparently. The scary part is that I’m not sure if it’s...

Today in 1857, The Only Nolan Was Born
Baseball has always had its share of eccentrics. Mark Fidrych talked to the ball. Moises Alou urinated on his hands to get a better grip on his bat. Then there was Turk Wendell, about whom the Chicago Tribune wrote:
Consider this a partial list:
He doesn’t wear socks on the field. He waves at the center-fielder before each inning. He brushes his teeth between innings. He makes...
Yesterday Was the Ten Year Anniversary of Steve Bartman
It’s known as the “Bartman Game.” Ten years ago, on Oct. 14, 2003, the Chicago Cubs had their best opportunity to reach the World Series for the first time since 1945. Leading the Florida Marlins three games to two in the National League Championship Series and owning a 3-0 lead in the eighth inning of Game 6, it all came apart. Starter Mark Prior was cruising until that fateful...

It's Déjà Vu for Moises Alou
It's been close to ten years since Steve Bartman reached out and fouled up (get it) Chicago Cubs outfielder Moises Alou's chances at making potentially a game saving grab.
And Monday night, it was déjà vu all over again.
Now serving as the general manager for the Domican Republic's team during the World Baseball Classic, Alou was on hand to watch current...

Moises Sierra’s great catch evokes memories of Bartman for Moises Alou (vid)
During Monday’s tilt between the Dominican Republic and the Netherlands in a World Baseball Classic match-up at AT&T Park, Dominican left fielder Moises Sierra made an incredible catch of a foul ball off the bat of Andruw Jones in the top of the first inning, diving into the stands to snag a fly ball…right out of the waiting mitt of a fan eagerly awaiting for his prized souvenir...

Mets Baseball Card of the Day: Moises Alou (Topps 2007)
The big offseason acquisition for the Mets in 2007 was Moises Alou. Topps put their Alou card out early, before he even played a game as a Met. How’d they do it? Photoshop. This was one of the few Topps Photoshop jobs that viewers could eventually tell that the jersey was a digital fake. We’ll look at another one later.

Magglio Ordonez and Moises Alou
Magglio Ordonez officially retired on Sunday and the Detroit Tigers threw a little party for him before the game. The celebration was later credited by Jim Leyland as part of Justin Verlander's problems against the Yankees in the game that was played after the ceremonies were over. Those two facts were probably fitting as they tied the career of Ordonez in a bow. Magglio Ordonez...
