Saturday, December 31, 2011. BBA Hall of Fame Ballot.

Crum-Bum Beat: Kerry Wood, Post-Modern Mr. Cub
http://crumbumbeat.blogspot.com/2012/01/kerry-wood-post-modern-mr-cub.html
Saturday, January 14, 2012. Kerry Wood, Post-Modern Mr. Cub. Looks a lot like an 'M', or if you prefer, an inverted 'W'. Kerry Wood is still a Chicago Cub, signing a one-year deal for $3 million to set-up cardiac closer extraordinaire Carlos. Carlos Zambrano. And I thought for sure Kerry Wood would be the final link to that 2003 team of fantasy what-ifs* to be let go. And I was okay with that. For many reasons. As Dr Sam Beckett would yelp.*. We'll get 'em at the gate. It's the Cubs for chrissakes! Baseb...

Friday, September 30, 2011. 8220;It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart.”. Thursday, September 29, 2011. WOBA, WAR, and the MVP. Every boy in America dreams of one day winning an award with this mans face on it. There is no clear cut definition of what most valuable means. It is up to the individual voter to decide who was the most valuable player in each league to his team. Labels: Articles Joe Morgan wouldnt like. Tuesday, September 27, 2011.

Crum-Bum Beat: January 2012
http://crumbumbeat.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. Trader Frank vs. Trader Jack. A small part of the fun in delving through baseballs long, glorious history is the useless playing of the what if game.

What if Ted Williams and Joe Dimaggio had swapped places? 160; There are countless of these scenarios, and they are fun to postulate about in barrooms. But heres a silly one that surely wouldve created some exciting roster ins...160;Th...
