Springsteen and an Atlanta Shave

Posted on December 31, 2012 by Joe Posnanski

Don’t ask how this New Year’s post will lead to Bruce Springsteen … I’m just kind of hoping it does before the clock strikes midnight and it’s done. Start with this odd opening sentence: I’m not sure when I stopped caring who cut my hair. Well, I’m not. I don’t think I was ever particularly…

Pitcher v. Pitcher

Posted on December 28, 2012 by Joe Posnanski

So, this guy wrote in with a complaint about Curt Schilling. I should say: I’m a Curt Schilling Hall of Fame guy. I think he’s a Hall of Famer, and I don’t think it’s an especially difficult call. I mean, no, he didn’t have the perfect career. He’s not one of the 10 best pitchers…

The Tango Option

Posted on December 28, 2012 by Joe Posnanski

On Friday I plan to post this thing about Curt Schilling, Jack Morris and pitchers facing pitchers … but first, I just got an email from Tom Tango that hits upon a brilliant Hall of Fame idea that, by pure coincidence, I’ve been pondering the last few days (kismet!). This idea is, in fact, so…

The Boog Powell Card

Posted on December 25, 2012 by Joe Posnanski

My mother, as I have written many times before, knows and cares nothing about baseball. She used to care nothing of any sport outside of the Olympics, but in recent years she has become more interested in these silly games, and every now and again she will want to talk about Tiger Woods or LeBron…

Prospects 2006

Posted on December 24, 2012 by Joe Posnanski

Bill James wrote a piece the other day about the possible difference between pitching and hitting prospects … and it reminded me of this project I’ve wanted to do for some time. I wanted to go back through Baseball America‘s excellent prospect handbooks and see how the best prospects turned out. How often do they…
