So let the tours begin. The Great American League Ballparks of the Past By : Michael Rosenthal I had an opportunity when I was in my late 20’s to visit several American and National League stadiums while on four summer vacations.

The Five Best from Sixty Feet-Six Inches By : Michael Rosenthal Sixty feet, six inches from home plate is where it all starts, first there’s a stare, then a unique wind-up, and then the pitch.

Michaels In the prior article on baseball’s commissioners, I explored the first to the worst, namely Kennesaw Mountain Landis to Bowie Kuhn, with Kuhn my obvious choice for worst commissioner ever. Although I must admit, given the current state of affairs in baseball, I may place Selig on the top of the worst list before all is said and done. Baseball’s First Commissioners – from Landis to Kuhn By : David R. Michaels From baseball’s humble beginnings prior to the Civil War until 1903, there was really no true governing body to oversee our national pastime’s operations.

This article is based on a list of the top 10 hitters based on the total number of hits they amassed in their careers. The Top 10 Home Runs in World Series History By : David R. Michaels Now that the 2007 World Series is over and major league baseball has shifted into the off-season, I found myself reminiscing about some of the greatest moments in the World Series that occurred in my lifetime --- namely the 10 most dramatic home runs of the fall classic. I recently found myself thinking about every World Series that I could remember in the 57 years that I’ve been around, and decided to dive into the 10 most dramatic home runs in World Series history that I saw on Yahoo Sports. The Top Ten Managers – Past and Present By : David R. Michaels It has often been said that managing a baseball team is no regular job. It’s multi-faceted and if you’re going to be remotely decent at it you’ll need more skills than just knowing the game. Having only played and never managed my recipe for success is merely an outside perspective. If I had to come up with an actual “recipe”, so to speak, it would look like this: • one part people skills • one part psychological skills • one part babysitting skills • one gallon of courage, guts, and patience Baseball’s Triple Crown – Will We Ever See another Winner? By : Michael Rosenthal The Triple Crown Award for hitting is given to a batter when he leads his league in the three major categories of home runs, runs batted in, and batting average. There is also one awarded to a pitcher when he leads his league in wins, earned run average, and strikeouts. However, since history has seen 36 pitchers win the honor, as opposed to only 14 batters (16 awards total), I felt that the batters who won the award deserved the time and ink for this article. What City Has Hosted the Most All-Star Games? By : Michael Rosenthal I caught myself reminiscing about Yankee Stadium the other day and the fact that 2008 is the last year to attend games there. The new stadium is well under construction and scheduled to open for the 2009 season. The fact that the 2008 All Star Game will be played there seemed a somewhat fitting farewell to one of the three remaining historical baseball sites. Of course Fenway and Wrigley were the other two. What Colleges Produce the Most MLB Players? By : Michael Rosenthal Have you ever wondered what college has produced the most pro baseball players? I have, only because I played at one of the schools that are on this list. I came up with the top ten colleges to have produced the most pro ball players and how long ago as well. In addition to that, I threw in the complete history of the college World Series record if that school had made any appearances in the NCAA championship. Where Do We Go From Here? – The Case for Speculation By : Michael Rosenthal In another baseball season clouded by doubts as to what upper management is going to do in the future, the New York Yankees have once again been given the boot in the first round of the playoffs. For most Yankee fans, what was one of the greatest turn around seasons in their storied history turned into bitter disappointment. And quite possibly, it may have been the bitterest disappointment of all, second only to the devastation of the 2004 post season. Where Will Barry Bonds Play in 2008? By : Michael Rosenthal It’s no secret any more. As of Thursday night, the 20th of September, Barry Bonds will not be returning to the Giants for the 2008 season. The announcement was made during a meeting between Bonds and Giants owner, Peter Magowan. According to Magowan, it was because the Giants have decided to head in a different direction.
