I don't mean that King was any kind of a star athlete. The only sport that the young, roundish "Mike" King was known to excel at was pocket billiards, which isn't exactly a sport (the golden rule:

News Item-- SAN FRANCISCO Tuesday, November 24, 2009 (AP) —  Federal officials are asking for a rehearing of an appeals court decision that said the government illegally seized a list of Major League Baseball players who tested positive for steroids. Officials say their investigations have been hampered by the ruling, which established new rules for digital searches. In a court filing

I have begun the videos on this page with footage from baseball's dead ball era. All of the footage was taken from You Tube, some of it coming from clips of Ken Burns' great documentary "Baseball." I wanted to include Negro League players, so I looked up Satchel Paige.  I found a two-part documentary, just over 10 minutes long, created for National History Day 2009 by one Thomas

[The Rockies do some price adjustment the day of the game but the Giants program is more full-out

By Kellia Ramares [Originally published on by baseball blog on April 24, 2009] Danny Haren pitched seven innings of shutout ball for the Arizona Diamondbacks against the Colorado Rockies, Wednesday, striking out nine along the way.  But the score at the seventh inning stretch was 0-0. So unless the Diamondbacks scored in their half of the seventh, it looked as though the best Haren would

[Originally published on my baseball blog on July 30, 2009] We have just had inductions to the Hall of Fame and the ritual would not be complete without a mention of Pete Rose. ROSE SHOULD BE IN THE HALL OF FAME. Yeah, he bet in baseball, but unlike the 1919 Black Sox, there is no evidence that he bet against himself or his team or otherwise did anything to throw a game. Of course, it would have

[Originally published on my baseball blog on August 8, 2009] I just got a notice on my Facebook page that there was article talk about how the sports world was looking to be more clean and green. Here is my response: Speaking as a baseball fan, I think MLB could be more green by going retro at the park. Manually operated scoreboards instead of these monster electronic jobs that use so much
