Hawk Harrelson says GM is the worst job in baseball – Chicago Sun-Times
Ken “Hawk” Harrelson made more than one questionable decision during his one year as White Sox GM in 1986. The announcer-turned-general manager famously fired Tony La Russa and Dave Dombrowski and traded rookie Bobby Bonilla (a six-time All-Star) to Pittsburgh for pitcher José DeLeón. Taking this all into consideration, it’s no surprise that Harrelson called GM “the worst job in baseball.” Speaking at Sox Fest 2016, Harrelson – currently a…
Omar Minaya’s son tearing up HS hoops — but made one baseball vow – New York Post

As Dodgers ticket prices rise it’s fair to ask: Is baseball pricing itself out of the family market? – Los Angeles Times

And then, one day, something makes you go, “Huh.” This was my “huh” moment on Friday: $48 for a seat in the left-field bleachers at Dodger Stadium? Not every seat, and not every game. But, if you want to sit in the front row of the…

A few more worthy nominees for baseball’s Wing of Amazing – FOXSports.com
Five years ago, with a bizarre (to me!) groundswell of support for Omar Vizquel as a Hall of Fame candidate, it occurred to me that what we really needed was another way to honor Vizquel. It seemed to me that Vizquel, (then) still playing shortstop at the age of 47 or something, inspired a striking sense of admiration and wonderment amongst our nation’s baseball writers. And without an appropriate outlet…

1:07 PM ET print Once upon a time, a baseball team constructed its pitching staff the way your contractor constructs your hallway — from the front to the back. Boy, life in this sport sure was a lot less complicated then. You didn’t just need starters. You needed great starters. You needed innings from your starters. You needed horses. You needed men who could take a lead and hand it…
