    Bill Mazeroski was the embodiment of stellar defense, winning 8 Gold Glove Awards, playing his entire 17 year career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, while setting the record for the most double-plays turned and assists in baseball history. But he is most remembered for arguably the greatest home run ever hit in the game. Almost every kid who has ever swung a bat at a competitive pitch has fantasized about coming up in the bottom of the ninth inning, during game 7 of the World Series, and hitting the championship clinching home run. Only one person in the long history of the game has ever realized this dream, and his name was William Stanley Mazeroski. This is his story #BillMazeroski #Maz #PittsburghPirates #BranchRickey #RalphTerry #ForbesField #NewYorkYankees #DickGroat #GeneAlley #DickSchoefield #DaveCash #WheelingWestVirgina #YogiBerra

    Rogers Hornsby; The Rajah
    Mar 2 2026
    Off the field? Rogers Hornsby was undiplomatic, uncompromising, and outspoken. On the field? He is arguably the greatest all-around right-handed hitters to ever play the game. Hornsby, whose modern-era record of a.424 batting average in 1924, and his .358 lifetime mark after a 23 year career, firmly establishes him as a standard for right-handed hitters of any era. He won 7 National League Batting Titles, including a mind-numbing 5 year stretch of offensive prowess that has yet to be equalled or surpassed. From 1921 to 1926 he compiled a gaudy .402 BA during that span. The winner of two League MVPs with two Triple Crown seasons, he was all about the business of terrorizing National League pitching. This week we take a look at this self-made superstar and his incredible baseball journey. #RogersHornsby #EdHornsby #MaryRogersHornsby #Rajah #WintersTexas #BobConnery #StLouisCardinals #MillerHuggins #BranchRickey #SamBreadon #JohnMcGraw #FrankieFrisch #NewYorkGiants #BostonBraves #ChicagoCubs #StLouisBrowns #BaltimoreOrioles #SeattleRainers #FortWorthCats #DenisonRailroaders #KikiCuyler

    Feb 10 2026
    The return of the Cold War between the United States and Cuba has only exacerbated the tide of baseball defectors from the communist nation. In October of 2012, for the first time in over 60 years, two million baseball crazy Cubans could listen to a World Series game on the radio, just as Tony and his father were able to listen to the 1955 World Series between the Dodgers and Yankees, at the old sugar mill in Camaguay, Cuba. In 1960. Tony Perez took advantage of safe passage to the United States, as did 14,000 other Cuban children, over a two year period, during Operacion Pedro Pan, a reality that could never take place in today's political climate. The re-lowering of the Coconut Curtain, between the two nations, stunts youth and imagination on both sides of the 93 mile (150km) wide Straits Of Florida. This week we follow the improbable baseball journey of The Big Dog; Tony Perez from the streets of Havana, Cuba to the Pantheon Of Immortals in Cooperstown, New York. #AtanacioRegalPerez #TonyPerez #BigDog #Doggie #CincinnatiReds #BigRedMachine #LeeMay #JohnnyBench #PeteRose #JoeMorgan #SparkyAnderson #MayorOfRiverfront #GeorgeFoster #KenGriffeySr #CaesarGeronimo #MontrealExpos #BostonRedSox #TonyPacheco #BobbyMaduro
