All-time hits leader Pete Rose was banned for life from baseball twenty years ago after a major league investigation that included allegations of betting on baseball. AP Baseball Writer Ben Walker said Rose will eventually be reinstated.
I don't care if he is ever officially "reinstated"; but the guy belongs in the Hall of Fame as a player!
None of Charlie Hustle's questionable behavior accured as a player. The all time hit leader MUST be in the Hall!
Congratulations to "The Big Unit"! Well done!
San Francisco's Randy Johnson won his 300th game Thursday. Johnson is just the 24th big league pitcher to reach that plateau. The Giants beat the Nationals, 5-1.
A Little League pitcher in New York, Colby Gage, threw a perfect game and struck out every batter he faced. The 12-year-old needed just 81 pitches to accomplish the feat. That's 4.5 pitches per batter.
Colby Gage: sounds like a true baseball name! Remember the name in about 10 years!
President Obama announces that he nominates District Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace Justice Souter to the Supreme Court. In doing so, he refers to her injunction in the 1994-95 baseball strike. "Some say Judge Sotomayor saved baseball."
He later added that he hopes Sotomayor's allegiance to the New York Yankees "will not disqualify her in the eyes of the New Englanders in the Senate."
Yuck yuck yuck; nothing funny at all about this SCOTUS pick!
I'd rather have this guy on the bench!(Pun intended.)
