So, why does everyone say that the Yankees' first world championship was in 1923?

Does anyone else think they should move the mound back? It's getting pretty boring watching them strike out every one....

Since he wasn't signed there have been a lot of injuries and the Yankees just don't get the brakes they used to get. Anyone notice that?

You ever notice that Alex Rodrigez's head is too small for his body?

Seriously... EVERY ball park has different outfield dimensions. Heck, Fenway has the "Green Mwonstah" towering over left field. Short porches, deep centerfields, walls, etc. All parks are different.

How many more Home runs would Willie Mays have hit if the Polo Grounds centerfield wall was 420 feet away instead of 600?

How many Home Runs have been knocked down by 20 foot high walls?

So, since the game is NOT uniform in it's playing fields... why does the Home Run record matter so much?

It's not like Ty Cobb and Pete Rose... hits are hits. If the balls fall in the field of play in 1911 it is basically the same as bloop
hits in 2007. Right?
In football however, 10,000 yards passing is 10,000 yards passing.

During the course of a baseball game we know that a pitch count is accumulated comparing balls to strikes. My question is what are hits counted as. For example if a pitcher gives up 8 hits in a game, where do those 8 pitches show up in his pitch count.

Such as 1-2, 2-2, etc.

If So, I think that a Pitching change should only occur between outs, Because the Pitcher that was in "Owns the Count".

What are your thoughts on this one?

...that is, if his arm was healed and such and wanted to get back into the game of baseball?

I ask because he was a great lefty at one time and we could all use one!

It's actually very bush league and sets a poor example for younger fans. I personally don't find it amusing, but it seems to be the new sexy thing for the Sportcenter gang.

Bonds will break hanks record sometime this year. He will play next year and hit another 20 homers or so and finish around 775.

I think the next player after that to come close to it will be Ken griffey jr. Jr has 575 right now and is swinging the bat. If jr ends up around 600 by they end of the year and hits 40 next year he will be sitting around 640 or so. I think jr could break the record if he sticks around for at least 5 more years or so. I think its up to him and only time will tell. Id say probaly not cause hes been playing since he was 19. Then again he loves the game. with jr its all about if he wants it enough to go for it. If he does then he can still break it.

However none of that matters cause 10 years from now the home run champion will be a-rod. He will smash that record if he stays healthy then it does not matter what bonds does. That record is history.

Any one agree or disagree with me?

Its in the same category as S and W. What does the H stand for. I see it on the yahoo scoreboard of baseball games, but I dont know what they mean. They are seen in middle relievers.

According to news reports (I have not read the article). GQ this month has an article with Gary Sheffield that states that the reason that there are not as many black ball players is because the black players from the US will not be abused by managers and front office staff. Whereas Latinos will keep quiet just so they can play ball. Because of this the front offices perfer to keep the Latinos and get rid of the blacks even if they are of the same calibar.
A recent study showed that the percentage of Black ball players in baseball is at the lowest point in the history of the study (started in 1980's). There are 59% white, 29%Latino, 8% Black, 3% Asian.
Any thoughts?
