Interesting article.
Hopefully the NL never adopts the DH.

If you’re keeping up with the proposals to start up this year’s season, it’s gonna happen. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/289 ... hare=other

Whether for just this year remains to be seen. Unfortunately it’s inevitable. Follow the money.

I saw that article. I don't like it ,but I believe you are correct. It's gonna happen on a permanent basis eventually.

Another good article https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/291 ... nolan-ryan

Great quote from Oscar Gamble. He said a good day against Nolan Ryan was 0-for4 and not getting hit in the head!

Ken

So now it looks like players and owners are arguing over money-

Well, you know how it is. It's always all about the money.

I wonder how many times Oscar Gamble had that famous afro buzzed by an inside pitch. I always looked forward to his baseball card every year.

Happy 75th birthday John Fogerty. Enjoy!

Ken

Sure wish I looked as good as he does.

Awesome vid, I forwarded it to my Dodger's bud. I love me some C.C.R. and John Fogerty solo tunes.

Thanks for posting Ken.
Loved it.
I sure miss baseball.

Now THAT is a righteous cause, from any angle!

I say the Cheatin' Astros!!

What the heck, sacrifice them both if it will help. They’re both expendable.

And as predicted the DH will be used in both leagues.

The MLB announcement talked at length about how the players will be tested and guidelines with which they will have to comply. But I’ve seen nothing yet about what will be required of fans attending games, or even if that will be allowed.

And nothing about either the damnYankees or the Lastros being sacrificed.

Ken

No fans in the stands.

Looks like lefty closers are getting screwed too, if there's extra innings.

Today is Bobby Bonilla Day, that is the day when he gets his $1.19 million payment from the Mets. This will continue on July 1 until 2036. He is 57 years old, has not played since 2001, and not for the Mets since 1999. Truly a bizarre story and a good example of why sports team owners are the most brain dead business people alive. No wonder a hot dog and a beer are so spendy at MLB parks.
