Recapping the Cubs/ Phillies 23-22 game of 1979
One of the most offensively intensive games, maybe in all of MLB history, involved the Cubs and Phillies in Wrigley on May 17, 1979. MLB Network ranked this game #20 on the list of 20 greatest games of the last 50 years in 2010. Though I was not born yet (game happened less than five months before I was born), so much happened in this game to not recap.
Just a reminder of where...
Flashback: Morganna The Kissing Bandit
It is hard to fathom Morganna would get away with her antics in today’s day and age but she was common place at sporting events in the 80′s. The Kissing Bandit all started from a $5 bet with a friend daring Morganna to run onto the field and plant a kiss on Pete Rose. It only escalated from there and Morganna continued to use her assets to the best of her abilities becoming...

Rose debuted 50 years ago and today he’s hawking furniture
Pete Rose showing off his excellent taste in head-gear.Aside: At first I wrote that headline as “hocking” furniture, since I’ve really only heard, and not read, the phrase. After a little internet research I realized that, in that sentence, “hocking” would mean “pawning.”
Thought I think Rose probably makes enough money writing things on baseballs that he doesn’t...

Pete Rose stars in bizarre furniture spot
In this schadenfreudey world of ours, the notion of Charlie Hustle pitching Paula Deen furniture sounds humorously ironic, one of those things you watch with a slight grin on your face and—in the deep recesses of your psyche—a pang of respect due to the refreshing candor of a fallen star. Turns out it’s just depressing as hell. by Dan from wheeeeeeee.com via Barstool Sports...

Keep in mind this is the same network that gleefully...

It’s Just Not In The Cards For Pete Rose
“I am not asking for anyone to feel sorry for me. I am only asking that Topps and MLB not compound my punishment by deleting the truth of what I achieved.”

Two players that make the 1919 Black Sox and Pete Rose look honest
The 1919 Black Sox scandal was the event that caused the stiffer rules that exist in today’s game. Rules that have seen the game’s all time hit leader banned from life.
