The Yankees broke away from uniform tradition in 2013. Today is the final day of 2013 and I’m going to do my year in review of the best and worst uniforms of the year. Unfortunately this year there will be no college sports involved (just way too much for me to cover). Let this be […]

Is this for real? http://t.co/uuyCqsjOdc — Samuel Lam (@SamuelYLam) December 25, 2013 This appeared on eBay and apparently it’s the only place that has any information about it, so take it for what it is. The listing claims it’s the new road cap for the Oakland Athletics next season. Full-time or alternate road cap? It […]

And if you curious how they might look with Fielder on the back: pic.twitter.com/PDo8pd7LKg — Richard Durrett (@espn_durrett) November 25, 2013 Prince Fielder appears to be wearing #84 with the Texas Rangers. This photo was tweeted out and it shows three different jerseys that Fielder will wear with the Rangers: the road gray, the blue […]

What if Athletics and Giants share AT&T Park in 2014? http://t.co/lRAb6oFkxj via @BigLeagueStew #MLB pic.twitter.com/dGjmMevYHG — Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports) November 4, 2013 It sounds crazy and it is very unlikely. Would either team be willing to make it happen? I doubt it. But the fact that this is thrown out there has to force somebody […]

Good News – Great @Cardinals win. Bad News – Only 40% chance of rain Monday night. Don’t worry I can get us a rainout http://t.co/jKbXSbQSIA — Kevin Demoff (@kdemoff) October 25, 2013 Remember when Rams COO Kevin Demoff was begging for a World Series sweep by the Cardinals? He’s at it again. This time knowing […]

You wait your whole life for a moment like #Game163: pic.twitter.com/aEZMKXMSb8 — MLB (@MLB) September 30, 2013 Growing up as a kid, I would remember hearing and witnessing all the Game 7s in sports. The term “Game 7” is such a great term in sports. It’s the finality of something. It’s the last battle for […]

Twenty years later, Montrealers will toast the 1994 Expos: Go to TSN.ca for details. #TSN http://t.co/KKV4V1BzOy — TSN (@TSN_Sports) September 23, 2013 Larry Walker with the Expos. I was only a little 8-year-old at the time of the 1994 strike. I wasn’t fully engaged in baseball at the time and I don’t even remember anything […]

The A’s are on a roll! Last season, the Oakland Athletics needed all 162 games of the regular season to capture the American League West Division crown. They did it with miracle walk-off wins, stellar rookie performances and the chance of the Rangers losing steam towards the ends. This season, the Athletics ran away with […]

Josh Scobee told Fla. Times-Union Sebastian Janikowski told him he always roots against A’s making playoffs so dirt replaced by sod sooner. — Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) September 12, 2013 Sebastian Janikowski does not like the infield dirt. The Oakland A’s and Oakland Raiders have been sharing the same stadium for almost 30 years. And when […]

I should have taken BART. With the Bay Bridge closed over the weekend and visiting teams to play the Oakland A’s staying in San Francisco, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price (who starts tonight) decided to take the cab to the Coliseum. BIG MISTAKE. Instead of taking BART, he was stuck with a cab ride […]

Metallica to play The Apollo on 9/21, which puts them in NY one day before Yanks honor Mariano. Hmmm. #ExitSandman http://t.co/CZ4gl03mMN — Peter Botte (@PeterBotte) August 22, 2013 I wonder how they would do it if it actually came to be. They probably have to have a stage set up before the game and just […]

I think what I appreciate most about this accomplishment is that I got to see it first hand for so long. As an A’s fan, I got to see Ichiro often and I just marveled at every level of his game. This is a great day for baseball. Congratulations! Share this: Click to share on […]

BREAKING: #Phillies replace manager Charlie Manuel with third-base coach Ryne Sandberg for remainder of season. — MLB (@MLB) August 16, 2013 With his old age 69, it appeared that it was starting wear on Charlie Manuel. With a roster that was good, but not that good, he was losing and the Phillies parted ways with […]

I’ve never caught a foul ball at MLB game before. Caught one at MiLB, caught 2 tossed to me by players. But this guy pic.twitter.com/L1IrzHg0jA — Samuel Lam (@SamuelYLam) August 14, 2013 That was from last night. That kid caught a foul ball and his reaction is priceless. Good job! Bringing that glove is helpful. […]

Robinson Cano wearing the batting practice cap during Friday’s game. This is an odd sight The Yankees don’t wear any cap other than their classic dark navy with interlocking NY logo. The only time they wear something different if it’s the league-wide mandated promotion or a throwback game. Tonight against the Tigers, the Yankees trotted […]

Tim Lincecum celebrates his no-hitter with Buster Posey. I didn’t watch the entire game. I was too busy watching the A’s beat the Red Sox. But I switched over just in time to see Tim Lincecum throw a no-hitter. No-hitters are always fun, no matter who throws them. It’s a sign of a great accomplishment […]

Where should the security guard go? Last night in MLB Network, they spent an entire segment dedicated to ball etiquette. Why? Because of the above incident. Here’s the video. The way the ball came down the line, the initial reaction was smart by the security guard. Get away from the ball. That’s normal protocol. But […]

Manny Ramirez is looking for one last run in the big leagues. The Texas Rangers have signed Manny Ramirez to a minor league deal with their Triple-A affiliate. Ramirez will be activated in a few days, will cut his hair to comply with team policy, and hope for a chance to latch on for one […]

A cafe at a ballpark? On the surface, it sounds stupid. But digging deep into it, it makes the most sense. I heard about this over the weekend but really didn’t pay much attention to it. Then this morning, I decided to look more into this new cafe AT&T Park is putting together at the […]

Bud Selig has not been good to the A’s with his inability to take any action in regards to the new stadium. The A’s have lost three of their last four games. The stadium is reeking of a smell that can’t be escaped. And now, the city of San Jose is suing Major League Baseball […]
