In about a week the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame voting will be revealed, and we will see who makes up the Cooperstown class of 2015. After no candidates were selected in 2013, the 2014 class inducted pitchers Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and first baseman Frank Thomas. This year's ballot is stacked, with sure-things like Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez, good candidates with chart history like Mike Piazza and Craig Biggio, and disgraced superstars like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. But one name that consistently gets overlooked is Gary Sheffield's. Gary Sheffield has Hall of Fame numbers. But he is linked to the BALCO scandal that played a role in bringing Bonds down, and his ties to performance-enhancing drug use has made him an afterthought, according to Bleacher Report. He won't receive the required 75 percent of the vote to become a first-ballot elect, but will he even hang around on the ballot? If not, he would be the second player with 500 career home runs to prematurely lose eligibility. Rafael Palmeiro has basically been blackballed because of his proven drug use, his 3,000 hits and 500 home runs be damned. But for various reasons, Sheffield's accomplishments are even less public knowledge. Let's take a look at them: Read More »
Fister extended to his followers more generosity than he did opposing hitters in 2014. For the first time in his career, Fister placed in the Cy Young voting. He posted a 2.41 ERA and 16-6 record in 164 innings pitched to place eighth in the NL voting, according to Baseball Reference. His ERA and win totals were all career highs. Read More »
Merry Christmas to the 96,700 morons who follow former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling on Twitter — the arrestingly hypocritical blowhard celebrated the holiday by spewing a slew of irrational thoughts from his bigger-than-he-thinks-people-notice head. In the past 72 hours, Schilling has attacked President Barack Obama, Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel and, in a hilarious twist of irony, the American media. Since that last little entity is what currently employs Schilling, who's eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame for the first time this year, let's start there. "Most corrupt media on earth #AmericaInFiveWords," Schilling tweeted Saturday, Dec. 27. Schilling has worked as a baseball analyst for ESPN, the single most rich and powerful sports media company in the world, since 2010, according to the company's website. Who was it again who hyped Schilling's "bloody sock" performance in the 2004 American League Championship Series so hard that it so rapidly cemented into baseball immortality that it basically overshadowed an injury-plagued career mired by regular-season mediocrity? Yeah, that was the media, too. Read More »
San Francisco — and future Michigan? — head coach Jim Harbaugh, Boston Red Sox left fielder Hanley Ramírez, Detroit Tigers DH Víctor Martínez, former Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies closer Brad Lidge and NASCAR driver Greg Biffle are all celebrating birthdays today, Dec. 23. You have to wonder how being born two days before Christmas affected these athletes's gift-getting childhoods. That said, all can afford quite nice holiday seasons now. Here's what you need to know about this special crop on their special day. Read More »
Ever since April 2011, when Troy Tulowitzki spent four games pulverizing the New York Mets at Citi Field, making diving catches and blasting home runs over the previously unreachable fences, Mets fans have salivated for the power-hitting shortstop. Now that the Colorado Rockies have put Tulowitzki officially on the trading block, that salivation has turned into a ravenous drool. Throw in the fact that the Mets's starting shortstop hit .237 last season while Tulowitzki owns a career .299/.373/.603 slash line and ... you get it. They want him bad. But can they get him? The Rockies will ultimately want a huge return for Tulowitzki, who is perennially considered one of the National League's top three position players despite a career filled with injuries. He's a four-time All-Star who batted .340 in 91 games last season before his season was cut short yet again. Read More »
