Baseball - December 2007

In 1965 the Dodgers won the world series but only hit 78 homeruns all year long during the regular season. Jim LeFebvre and Lou Johnson were the leaders on the team with 12 homeruns each. This is a two part question; 1- Has any team, since 1940, ever won the world series with less than 78 team homeruns? and 2- has any team won the world series, since 1940, with their team leader in homeruns finishing with less than 12?

Red Sox, Baseball, Pitcher, Curt Schilling?

because he was in the Mitchell Steroid Report, well then shouldn't Jose Canseco's 1988 MVP Award and Ken Caminiti's 1996 MVP Award's also be taken away, because these guys were also in the report. Why is Schilling singling out Clemens here?

My wife and I recently bought an old sports program at a flea market. When we took it home, I found that a few pages had been stuck together. When I separated the pages and opened them up, we found that one entire page was filled with autographs from old baseball players. Pie Traynor, Roberto Clemente, Satchel Paige, etc. The date on the inside copyright stamp reads 1968. All of the autographs are written with what looks like an old fountain tip ink pen. Because of this I think that they are all genuine.

So whats the best way to determine their value? Any ideas as to what this might be worth? We only paid two dollars for it anyway so we're just curious. Thanks in advance for any responses.

After the Mitchell Report, I cannot decide whether I would send Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds to the Hall of Fame. Opinions?

Don't get me wrong, Ryan is a great pitcher. But do you think he is the best ever? He threw so many wild pitches and had close to 300 losses. So do you think he should be regarded as the best? Think about Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Pre-steroid Roger Clemens, Phil Niekro, the Paige, and Seaver.

To refresh your memory, he is the Cubs fan that "interfered" with Moises Alou in Game 5 of the NLCS on a foul ball that he and Alou both went for...and inadvertenly he made contact with the ball and Alou couldn't make the catch. (I still don't think it's his fault). Give me your thoughts on what you think he is up to these days

I believe I heard that he may be considering a career in politics when his playing days are over. Do you suppose this is just the beginning of any such career...?

shows, he has an active blog, I mean a lot that goes on in baseball and on a baseball team should be kept private to a certain extent. This guy just seems like a big mouth hot air bag to me, do you agree? Also, he seems like the kid who was bullied when he was younger, you know, Freshman wedgie day in High School. I bet his teammates hate him.

What team do you feel has made the best off season moves this past winter (so far)? It would be pretty hard to argue against the Tigers, but I'd love to hear your answers.

So i was watching mike and mike in the morning a few days ago and some guy called in and was like im tired of hearing all this stuff about roger clemens and doing steriods, this is america and you are innocent untill proven guilty so people need to stop saying it until proven. So then Golic asked him so what about Barry Bonds do you think he took them and the guy just paused for a few seconds and then said yea he took them and golic got mad at him, as did i. Did anyone else see this or hear it and if so why is it different for clemens then bonds?

I am a bonds fan myself and i am waiting to hear if either of them did it but i need hard proof not people saying they did it, for either of them

Well apparently there were some things wrong with the Mitchell Report. Now i know that it was Brian McNamee that stated Clemens name in the report, but Kirk Radomski also had something to do with it (or so it was said) but yet in Radomski's testimony Clemens name was never mentioned. So now its a "he said she said" game. Why would Radomski not mention Clemens if he also knew McNamee was shooting up Clemens? (the two trainers worked together) Seems odd. Another thing is this, in Radomski's testimony he apparently admits to other ballplayers who have used steroids but the "lesser" names arent in the report? How come? What was Mitchell's intentions? B/c now it seems like he had some....what the hell to make of all this.

I dont think the report will have any affect on baseball, but now its just twisting my brain on all of these things. Who the hell knows......

name was in the Mitchell Report listed as a steroid user, then shouldn't Curt Schilling have to give back his 2001 World Series Ring because the Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Matt Williams was on that team and he was listed as a steroid user in the Mitchell Report. You see where I'm going here? Schilling is a hypocrite, you agree?

What do you think about schilling, do you think he is right about saying clemens should give back his awards. Or is he bitter that clemens has more awars than him.

...star second baseman with the Yankees and Indians 1938-1950 belongs in the Hall? I think he might be deserving. He had a short career, but he lost 2 seasons to WW2. His 264 career HRs are still the AL record for most home runs by a second baseman, impressive since he played in Yankee and Municipal Stadiums.

Fast on the heels of the Mitchell report, federal prosecutors unsealed retired pitcher Jason Grimsley's affidavit today, the testimony for which he provided after being busted for receiving HGH in the mail in May 2006.

Despite rampant rumors, neither Clemens nor Pettitte were mentioned. Earlier released versions had names blacked out.

Mcnamee's word is still all there is against the Rocket. So... what do you think? Did Clemens partake? Were the rumors of him in the Grimsley affidavit based simply on jealous sniping, and character assassination? Will other posters put up their own version of this question over the weekend and claim it as breaking news? Is the Mitchell report (in which Grimsley did not cooperate), at least the section on Clemens, circling the drain?
