Sure, it's been nearly 20 years since the 2004 ALCS, but David Ortiz was still able to inflict a bit more pain on Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Yankees' fans.
The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are both bad this season. How bad, you may ask? Well, a 30-year old streak could end if these results continue.
Each year, as the Major League Baseball trade deadline comes and goes, many fans are left disappointed, as they watch their favorite player or players shipped to a new city. These days, most of those deals are done to save a little money or to buy into the team's future with prospects.
Finally! The Major League Baseball owners realized that their product was grinding to a dull-stop. Teams were losing their younger fanbases exponentially, year-by-year. In spring training, this year's rule changes have definitively increased the pace of play. Does everyone like them? No, but I like most of them and you probably will too!
Boston Red Sox fans are livid with the treatment of their favorite team's roster, and specifically its star players, and are searching for answers this winter.
Losing in the ALCS is one thing. But watching highlights from the 2004 ALCS, in which your own franchise blew a 3-0 series lead to your enemy, is so much worse.
Things went from good to great for New York Yankees' fans following their win over Cleveland Tuesday, as Alex Rodriguez got the best of a rival star in a prank.
As the New Yorkers began to gather to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the horrific attacks on the city and the nation, a former Major League Baseball pitcher who became a police officer in New York City, was killed Sunday morning on his way to work. The assignment he was heading towards was the September 11th memorial ceremony in lower Manhattan.
When you want to find out who is the best at something, you ask people that are in the same business. You ask people that compete against that person or business. When it comes to great Major League Baseball players, a guy like former Boston Red Sox star, Los Angelas Dodgers' outfielder Mookie Betts is probably a solid reference. Betts dished out some hefty praise on a New York Mets pitcher on Wednesday night and that player had nothing to do with Timmy Trumpet.
