Talking up Thomas and Maddux while slapping down Sosa
So, I guess 12.5 percent of the Hall of Fame voters actually believed Sammy Sosa’s cockamamie Flintstones vitamins story. But 87.5 percent believe he cheated, and the voters kept him out and will forever. The amazing thing about the way the...

If the Cubs want to bridge the gulf between them and their career home-run leader, as Tom Ricketts hinted at the Cubs Convention over the weekend, Sammy Sosa says all they have to do is call. "I saw that the owner said he wanted to reach me, speak to me,...

Jeff Jacobs: Reign Delay - Nobody Gets In Hall This Year, And That's Good
The Hartford CourantIn the 144-year narrative of our national pastime, five men have hit 60 home runs in one season. Henry Aaron never did it. Willie Mays never did it. One did it three times.

Move over Lance Armstrong, Magic's greatest season also tainted by PEDs

They belong in the Hall of Fame
Did Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and pitcher Roger Clemens miss election to the Baseball Hall of Fame because the writers don't like them rather than their alleged steroids use? The sportswriters and other purists adamantly say the three don't belong in...Tags: National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Bud Selig, College Baseball, Barry Bonds, Baseball

We're not perfect, but there is a way for writers to handle Hall of Fame controversy
The Baltimore SunWhen it was announced that no candidate had received the 75 percent inclusion on ballots needed to be inducted into this year’s Baseball Hall of Fame class, I can’t say I was surprised.

Giants leave fate to Zito
ST. LOUIS — Six years. That's how long it has been since Barry Zito has pitched the kind of game he's going to need Friday night, and he hasn't been cryogenically frozen in the interim. He has been getting older, losing velocity off his fastball...
