This Date in Pirates History: December 29
Born on this date in 1977 was Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson, who played for the team from 2001 until 2009. Wilson was originally draft by the Cardinals in 1998. The Pirates acquired him on July 29, 2000 in exchange for pitcher Jason Christiansen. Jack started the 2001 season in the majors as the team’s starting shortstop, skipping over AAA. After hitting .155 through...

This Day in Baseball History: August 17th
Cleveland Indians SS Ray Chapman died on this day in 1920 after being beaned by NYY pitcher Carl Mays
In 1920, Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman died as a result of being hit by a pitch thrown by Yankees submariner Carl Mays… the tragedy remains the only on-field fatality in major league history.
In 1933, Lou Gehrig quietly surpassed Everett Scott’s record of 1,308 consecutive...

Court ruling goes in favor of former Royal Brown
Former Royals outfielder Emil Brown prevailed Tuesday when a Missouri appeals court ruled against a Kansas woman who had claimed Brown assaulted her. Federal and state lawsuits in the four-year legal battle did not focus on any purported attack. Instead, they focused on whether Brown and his accuser, Jennifer Haigh, had settled the case in the spring of 2007.

One-Hit Wonders: Dennis Blair to Emil Brown
This is Part 2 of a 13-part series examining the 65 men who have collected exactly one hit as a member of the San Diego Padres. The current installment includes three pitchers (one taken just after Randy Jones in the draft, one traded for Gary Sheffield, one acquired for Sean Burroughs), a pinch-hitter who also scored two runs for the Padres in oddly similar ways, and an outfielder...

Hillman Watch
Each Spring since 1969, I have high hopes for my Kansas City Royals. Ever the clear-eyed realist, I may have acknowledged on occasion that they might not win the World Series every year, but I am always convinced that this is the season they will at least be competitive again. And keep in mind this includes teams whose opening day roster has highlighted such baseball giants...

The Fundamentalist Movement
If I've learned anything from the returning Keith Hernandez these past few years that he has analyzed Mets games. it's that ballplayers like to come up with new names for old things, particularly if they save the players some syllables. Thus, it was no surprise to me when I started hearing Keith make occasional reference to "fundies"...as in fundamentals.
Fundamentals: four...

Welcome, THB Class of 2009
People who think computers play baseball will say the Angels are down 2 games to 1. But computers don't play baseball. And when you have a teammate like Derek Jeter, and you see the way he goes about his business and how calm he is after a game like that, it's like you've won. So the computers may say the Angels are down just one game, but if you're in the Yankee...

At least I’m betting that will be the effect. I can’t imagine season ticket holders renewing very enthusiastically after reading this article from Bob Dutton: http://www.kansascity.com/sports/royals/story/1423631.html

Royals Fan Says: Stephen Strasburg or Bryce Harper?
As the quality of baseball the KC Royals run out on a daily basis continues to rapidly decline - along with the perceived value of their upper level management - we fans are left with little.
This is common-place for the modern Royal fan, but the feeling will never be welcomed.
It burns.
Every year.
We know it is going to happen, but we refuse to say mercy.

Kansas City Royals: Touching on the Untouchables
Desperate times bring drastic measures.
They could also potentially bring an improved ball club to Kansas City in the future.
The Royals are bad—"flirt with 100 losses" bad—and they need to salvage something from this season.
Recent acquisitions Yunesky Betancourt and Ryan Freel are insufficient moves given the organizations needs.
There are pieces in place—we have to be better...

Where It Began, You <i>Can</i> Begin to Knowin'
Said Ashburn: "Throneberry is the people's choice and you now why? He typifies the Mets. He's either great or terrible." He paused and turned to Throneberry. "But you better not get too good," he said. "Just drop a pop fly once in a while."
Said Throneberry: "Aw, I haven't dropped a pop fly in a week."

The Mets needed to make room for Jon Switzer on the 40 man roster, so that he could take John Maine's spot on the active roster.The Mets must have known that Maine was heading to the DL, because they out righted Emil Brown on June 10th. Brown had been designated for assignment on June 7th, he cleared waivers and accepted the demotion ( source Daily News). He is now on Buffalo's reserve...
