Living in Portland OR I would love to see us have a team especially seeing we are about to win the second straight College World Series.

So say the Marlins do move or the MLB expands which town would you like to see have a major league team and what should they be called.

I'm going for the Portland Pioneers.

Anyone know if there is a site where you can look up values of baseball cards? Been years since I broke put my cards. Last time I did I would get a Becket but I guess they are not around anymore.

What is up with everyone concerning steroids in baseball the last couple of days? I heard last week, Fernando Vina and Buster Olney both say they would vote for Sammy Sosa for the Hall of Fame, Olney I think said he even votes for the hall. Then on ESPN radio on Saturday I heard Mel Kiper, Jr., and the host both saying Barry Bonds deserves to be in the hall. What happened to the outcry from last year about all the cheaters in baseball? The outcry was so great Mark McGwire, who holds the rookie home run record at 49, that it kept him out of the hall on the first ballot. Are all the voters ready to say they are hypocrites or is it because of the fact of the color of the skin and the voters are afraid they will be called racists?

i argued a called at our game today. the opposing player squared away to bunt the ball. he NEVER pulled the bat back. our catcher threw the ball down to third to catch the baserunner stealing. i asked the umpire what the call was,to be sure he called the strike. he said the batter pulled back and the pitch was a ball. i asked the field umpire for an appeal, and he said the batter didnt make an effort toward the pitch. my point is this, if you are squared to bunt the ball, that right there is an effort at the pitch. if the batter does not pull the bat back, the pitch should be a strike. the field umpire says thats not correct and he still needs to move the bat in an attempt to strike the ball. who is correct???? i think we got a horrible call. from day one, i was taught that if you arent going to bunt the ball, remember to always pull your bat back on a bad pitch. now he didnt move the bat at all, he was squared for the pitch and NEVER pulled the bat back, is it a strike?

A lot of people have discounted my idea because it will leave out some good teams that deserve to be in the play-offs. I got a great idea to add to that. Why not take the 4 division leaders in both leagues and add two more wild-card teams to the play-offs?

Example:

AL
1) NYY (AL East)
2) LAA (AL West)
3) MIN (AL Midwest)
4) DET (AL Central)
5) BOS (AL Wild-Card)
6) OAK (AL Wild-Card)

NL
1) NYM (NL East)
2) SF (NL West)
3) MIL (NL Central)
4) HOU (NL Midwest)
5) WSH (NL Wild-Card)
6) LAD (NL Wild-Card)

Wild-Card (Best of 3)
BOS vs. DET (BOS)
OAK vs. MIN (MIN)
WSH vs. HOU (HOU)
LAD vs. MIL (LAD)

Divisional (Best of 5)
NYY vs. MIN (NYY)
LAA vs. BOS (BOS)
NYM vs. LAD (NYM)
SF vs. HOU (HOU)

Championship (Best of 7)
NYY vs. BOS (NYY)
NYM vs. HOU (NYM)

World Series (Best of 7)
NYY vs. NYM (NYY)

I have two baseball cards that have no marks on them except for the names of the players and "made in the USA" on the bottom right hand corner.

They are both in black and white. They also have no stats or anything on the back, but are made of cardboard.

One is of Whitey Ford and the other is of Gil Hodges.

I've tried to find the selling price of them, but so far every site wants me to buy a membership to see the different prices on hundreds of cards. I really need help with this, because I'm not going to let them go without finding the real value
