A Second Time through the Order

One interrupted month into the season and it’s the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Cardinals with the early lead. The Cardinals are in front in a little more dominant fashion as Bob Gibson leads the team. Cleveland has three of its starters listed atop the ERA leaderboard for the American League. It is no surprise that [...]

If you think about it, four new baseball teams will exist due to the decision of one man. Charlie Finley took the Athletics and left Kansas City six months ago. So now, not only does Oakland have the A’s, but the Royals will be in Kansas City, the Pilots in Seattle, and two new National League [...]
