If nothing else, the annual Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners remind us that most voters probably don’t actually watch much baseball.

If you saw any baseball on this same day in 2011, you undoubtedly remember at least some sense of euphoria or bitter disappointment, or maybe even both simultaneously. Game 162 for a good portion of the teams in MLB usually amounts to either one last opportunity to see prospects in game action or a chance […]

Since “Gr33nazn’s 2011 Fantasy Baseball Guide” was incredibly popular with all 3 of our loyal readers, I felt compelled to do another one. Actually, that does not mean that I’m doing another 2011 guide, because that would be silly. No, I’m updating the guide for 2012, and this time there will indeed be more cowbell. […]

If you love baseball’s “silly season” during which baseball players routinely have the opportunity to injure themselves patting themselves and each other on the back, then the inaugural “Rawlings Gold Glove Awards Show” is just the thing for you. That’s right. ESPN has set aside a whole hour dedicated to an announcement that really shouldn’t […]
