My Baseball Thoughts & Memories
I LOVE Baseball. I'm no expert.....I can't quote 'stats' or tell you what year who played where, but I'm a dyed-in-the-wool fan who believes in the MLB quote "I Live For This". From April through the World Series every year, I watch, read about, and follow my favorite teams with a passion. Between the end of the World Series and the beginning of Spring Training I miss baseball so much it's like a void in my life. I often fill that void throughout the winter months with reading baseball books ...

Baseball's Perfect Game Pitchers
Pitching a Perfect Game in Baseball
On Saturday, April 21, 2012, Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox pitched the 21st Perfect Game ever pitched in 136 years of Major League History. A Perfect Game in Baseball is defined in "The Dickson Baseball Dictionary" as A 'no-hitter' in which no opposing player reaches base. In other words, a game in which a team's pitcher retires all 27 opposing batters in order. Or, simply put, "27 up, 27 down". Other games in which the final score of the opposing team remains at zero (0) include a...

A Collection of (St. Louis) Cardinals Baseball Players
My Favorites --- Past & Present -- Who Played for the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Team
I've been a baseball fan all my life, and a St. Louis Cardinals fan since the Spring of 1982 when we moved to Missouri. Suddenly I had the opportunity to watch, listen to on radio, or attend Cardinals Baseball Games all season long and subsequently I became a life-long Cardinals fan. Many of my favorite players go back to the 1980s-1990s because they are the ones I first became acquainted with through numerous games and several seasons. A few favorites play on the current team, and one or tw...

It is the year that the New York Yankees won the World Series over the Cincinnati Reds with 4 wins to the Reds 1. So, let me sh...

Lance Berkman: Baseball Career

Dodger Stadium: A Fan's Salute
Blue Heaven: Our Lady of Chavez Ravine
It's hard to believe that Dodger Stadium, founded amidst controversy in the 1950s, is now one of the three oldest ballparks in baseball. Only the Cubs' Wrigley Field and the Red Sox's Fenway Park are older. The Los Angeles Dodgers have played in Dodger Stadium longer than the Brooklyn Dodgers played at Ebbetts Field. Some baseball fans treasure newer, glitzier ballparks that resemble Las Vegas resorts more than old-fashioned sports arenas. But for generations of Dodger fans, Dodger Stadium h...

World Series 2012
The Breakdown
In Major League Baseball there are two leagues, the National League and the American League. The 30 teams, 29 in the US and 1 in Canada, are divided among them with the National league having 16 teams and the American League with 14 teams. The reason for the difference is for scheduling, not for preference. Each team is scheduled 162 games to play each season, allowing for one day off every two weeks, though it's usually closer to one day a week. Games are scheduled every day of the regular ...
