    1. Who do you think is the best player not in the Hall of Fame? (Excluding players that aren't in because of PEDs and gambling)
    2. A Losing Team Wins Division: Is This the Year?
    3. After three consecutive 100-loss seasons, the Chicago White Sox focused their analytics on bat speed—and put themselves on the brink of the playoffs

    1. Omar Vizquel bare hands a high chopper over the mound to secure the no-hitter for Chris Bosio. April 22, 1993.
    2. Who remembers when Cincinnati Reds phenom Elly De La Cruz electrified baseball by stealing second, third, and home plate during a single top-of-the-seventh-inning sequence against the Milwaukee Brewers?
    3. On September 4, 1993, New York Yankees left-hander Jim Abbott, who was born without a right hand pitched an inspiring 4-0 no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians at Yankee Stadium

    1. Big brawl in the stands at White Sox vs Mets game
    2. A few years back Ken Griffey Jr. showed everyone on the WBC team that he still had the sweetest swing!
    3. Corbin Carroll hit one in the gap, so we all know he’s going to 3rd. As he’s rounding second base, his helmet comes off. As he’s sliding to 3B, the SS catches the relay and fires a throw to the third baseman. The 80mph throw goes off Carroll’s head and he ends up scoring on the error.
