Much is made about the 300 Win plateau for pitchers. Hall of Fame credentials for starters has been almost strictly linked to it. And now, many people say the number will never be reached again. I disagree. Anyway, baseball historian and close friend of 60ft6in, Josh Robbins, wrote a summary of the history of the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Trevor Hoffman announced his retirement from Major League Baseball today after a spectacular 18-year career. The majority of fans will remember Hoffman as the master of the changeup that enabled him to set the all-time record of 601 saves. However, this baseball enthusiast will remember Hoffman most for entering the eighth inning of Game 3 of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The mainstream media loves to create a headline that sells newspapers, increases website visits, and produces fodder for sports talk radio hosts to fill their time slots. With all due respect to the Philadelphia Phillies starting rotation, the quartet has not thrown a single pitch in the regular season. Before the Phantastic Phour, the Phour […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
During the past two years, MLB has seen a quartet of legendary hurlers retire. Greg Maddux, Randy Johnson, Tom Glavine, and Trevor Hoffman personified pitching greatness throughout their Hall Of Fame caliber careers. However, which current pitchers are most likely to gain enshrinement into Cooperstown? There are five pitchers that quickly come to mind: Mariano […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Tommy John has become synonymously linked to ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) surgery. In 1974, renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Frank Jobe completed the first procedure, saving the left-hander from a career ending injury. Amazingly, John earned more victories following the revolutionary procedure. Upon missing the entire 1975 season, the left-hander returned to action and completed some […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As the pitching in Major League Baseball continues to improve, or the hitting continues to decline, a number of pitchers have put together fantastic seasons so far in 2011. In the National League, I’m looking at a four man race between Clayton Kershaw, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Cole Hamels for the Cy Young Award. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Three Hundred and Fifty-Five Wins. On this date in 2008, Greg Maddux started the final regular season game of his Hall of Fame career.
