Text of the page (random words):
t okay okay i know that it is a spectator s responsibility to pay attention at all times it says so in the disclaimer on the back of every game ticket it is announced at the beginning of every baseball game at every stadium it would also seem that it is just plain common sense that if there is a possibility of a baseball or a shattered bat making a bee line for your unprotected melon that you might want to pay attention but that is not the world in which we now live how many times does the average person look at their center of their universe cell phone over the course of their day think about it the answer is astonishing i actually researched this question and found that the number landed somewhere between 110 to 150 times per day that s incredible right people are so wrapped up in text messages e mail instagram snap chat and facebook that it is a wonder that they have time for anything else that is our world of today social media rules the day and sadly for so many people it has replaced the real world with that said the average length of a mlb game is 2 hours and 58 minutes in our social media text message centered world how many people do you know that can simply shut the damn phone off for almost three hours if you are honest with yourself you will find that the answer is probably close to zero that is hardly the only distraction at the old ballgame if you made the trip to the ball park with your family in tow guess what you have that distraction did you notice the huge new multi million dollar scoreboard distraction do you like peanuts popcorn and cracker jacks or hot dogs beer ice cream or or the person carting them around distraction there is yet another factor and it is this there is the possibility that even if you are paying attention you may not be agile enough to protect yourself against flying objects from the field how many times have we seen a batted ball or a broken bat go sailing into the stands and strike a fan who was paying attention quite a bit i m afraid a foul ball is still a batted ball and a ball can leave the mlb bat at well over 100 mph is the average fan quick enough to get out of the way maybe or maybe not we have all seen both my point in all of this is that for most people it is not as easy as just pay attention it really isn t so with that said do mlb venues have a responsibility to ensure fan safety no organization wants to have an unsafe environment where fans are afraid to attend the games there is no revenue in empty seats so isn t in mlb s best interests to make things as safe as possible even if there is no legal obligation to do so i believe that they should if mlb is all about the fan experience shouldn t fan safety be a part of the experience lastly about the netting does anybody really believe that it will somehow degrade the view i submit that if you are not sitting in the very first row with the netting tickling your nose the netting will make absolutely no difference in your ability to see the action on the field if you are sitting 20 rows back is the average fan even going to notice even if you did notice the nets when you first got there the nets will quickly just fade into the visual background people ultimately have the responsibility for their own safety and a huge part of that is being aware of your surroundings and people should be prepared to react to the ever changing landscape however sometimes they are not i think that it is prudent and reasonable for mlb and it s teams to do whatever they can to keep the game safe for the fans share this share on

mlb ballparks safety netting social media apr 09 rip yogi posted by eanxdivr 1 rip yogi i hate writing articles like this every time i do it us because we have lost another piece of our baseball past our baseball memories yes i know that it is inevitable just as the sun rises every day people die lawrence peter yogi berra was born on may 12 1925 in st louis missouri he broke into the major leagues in september of 1946 and played through 1963 with the new york yankees he finished his playing career in 1964 as a member of the cross town rival new york mets plating in just 4 games for them he had reasonably good statistics over his career he played in 2 120 games scored 1 175 runs had 2 150 hits 358 hr s and 1 430 rbi he had a career batting average of 285 looking slightly past that was something more yogi berra had an excellent eye at the plate so good in fact that he only struck out 414 times in his entire mlb regular season career that is pretty impressive yogi berra was an excellent defensive catcher as well he had a fielding average of 989 as a catcher yogi berra was the american league mvp 3 times and he was elected to the baseball hall of fame in 1972 by the time that his career in baseball was done he had participated in 21 world series and won 13 championship rings 10 as a player alright enough statistics yogi was famous for his yogi isms as much as he will be remembered for anything else to coin an old phrase he had a million of em i will not give examples here simply because there are so many of them that i will never finish this article yogi was a character and in a world that is sometimes too sterile and politically correct we could use a few more yogi berra s yogi berra was not a big guy standing only 5 8 but he weighed 194lbs he was incredibly strong in every way that you want your catcher to be personally i share a lot of those physical similarities with him he was a little taller and a little heavier than i was when i played but as a fellow catcher he was a player who i studied and emulated along with carlton fisk i could relate to yogi berra as i was short stocky strong defensively and could be a bit of a character too even though he played for a team that i dislike intensely i had a tremendous amount of respect for yogi i don t want to get into his acrimonious split with the george steinbrenner yankees and i am not going to rehash the countless stories about him as a player and a manager coach everybody who knew him or knew of him has their own individual memories of him yogi berra was not only a baseball icon but he was an american icon as well when you mention the name of yogi berra everybody instantly knows whom you are talking about just a little factoid here did you know that yogi berra served in the u s navy during world war 2 and that he took part in the allied invasion of normandy well he did also he was in fact the inspiration for hanna barbera s famous picnic basket stealer yogi bear as his health deteriorated over his later years he was moved into an assisted living facility and he didn t speak very much but in the case of yogi berra he really didn t need to r i p yogi share this share

56 posted by eanxdivr 0 7 16 41 56 when we think of records that seem to be unbreakable one invariably always comes up that would be the 56 game hitting streak of joe dimaggio on july 16 1941 joltin joe extended his hitting streak to that magical number of 56 games unbelievable so unbelievable that in that same year there was s song joltin joe dimaggio by les brown sung by betty bonney written about it since that time there have been many noble tries to eclipse that mark but in reality no one has really come close i remember watching pete rose take a hitting streak to 44 games in 1978 it was enthralling stuff to a 14 year old baseball infatuated teenager my friends and i used to watch this event unfold on a daily basis and we were disappointed when it ended in august 1st of that season of course this has got me thinking what other mlb records are untouchable before mcguire sosa it was thought that the home run records of babe ruth 60 in 154 games or roger maris 61 in 162 games was unbreakable well wrong in the summer of 1998 mark mcguire of the st louis cardinals and sammy sosa of the chicago cubs gave us an unbelievable fireworks show with both of them eclipsing ruth and maris in fact between mark and sammy they would surpass the 60 or 61 home run mark 5 more times this would stand as the gold standard of slugging until 2001 when barry bonds hit 73 dingers of course now i have to ask if the 73 mark will ever be broken let s give the pitchers some love also the modern era post 1900 record for strikeouts is 383 set in 1973 by one nolan ryan a close second is the 382 k s by sandy koufax in 1965 randy big unit johnson came close in 2001 with 372 and there have been several other worthy mentions but in my humble opinion i don t see anyone breaking ryan s mark as good as clayton kershaw and madison bumgarner are and as good as i think jacob degrom may become breaking ryan s record is a tall order and now on to mount olympus lou gehrig was considered to be the iron man his 2 130 straight games played was thought to be unbreakable until cal ripken jr did just that on the night of september 6th 1995 ripken became the all time iron man ripken would go on to set the new consecutive game record at 2 632 i also do not ever see this record falling whenever i think of records and how they are considered untouchable i am reminded of one roger bannister you may have heard of him roger bannister is the first human being to ever break the 4 minute mile on may 4th 1954 bannister accomplished what many experts considered to be a physical impossibility it was believed that the human pulmonary and respiratory systems were simply incapable of supporting such an effort and that the human heart would just explode the experts were wrong and since that historic day the sub 4 minute mile is almost routine oh my original point on this day in 1941 joe dimaggio etched himself in the mount rushmore of baseball immortals with his 56 gamne hitting streak many have tried to equal it all have failed it is a record that i do not see ever being broken joltin joe dimaggio share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new

baseball all star game is now in our rearview mirror kudos to the city of cincinnati for hosting a great event for the baseball world there are some elements of the two day baseball fest that i want to discuss let s start with the home run derby i generally do not watch the skills competition in any sport which would explain my revulsion at the shootout in the national hockey league as well as the compulsory 4 on 4 and 3 on 3 in their overtimes but that is a debate best left to another forum the home run derby had become this tedious almost mind numbing exercise i was not sure that an imposed time limit would help but i was pleasantly surprised and quite happy to be wrong i have to admit that it is better now i am not going to say that the ending felt scripted but really todd frazier the hometown kid winning the competition by one home run with precious little time left on the clock you be the judge next up the pete rose saga if mlb wanted to instill a sense of insane frenzied emotion why didn t commissioner manfred announce that he was going to reinstate rose it would have been appropriate given that the game was in cincinnati at least that is what i thought at first glance but then i thought about it a little more and i drew a very different conclusion if the commissioner had done that it would have basically allowed the spectre of the whole pete rose debate to hijack the entire event and that would have been wrong it would have taken the attention away from the people who truly deserved it and that is the players on the field rose got some love and a 1 minute 20 second standing ovation by being allowed to participate in the franchise four ceremonies and he was on one of the television promos that should be enough for now the pete rose soap opera will be best left to another time and now for the game itself i ll get right to it how did mike trout win the mvp award in this game yes he opened the game with a leadoff hr off of zach greinke sorry baseball fans but i was not impressed trout was the first batter greinke faced his adrenaline was pumping he was not dialed in yet and he had not settled down into his normal pitching rhythm it is not a huge surprise that trout took him over the wall if you look at how greinke pitched after the trout bomb it is a very different story my point is that a single home run at the very beginning of a game should not an mvp make there were other performances that were much more worthy how about lorenzo cain he had a great night going 2 for 3 with an rbi prince fielder had a pretty good night with the stick as well but thinking a little outside the box a little bit an argument can be made that zach greinke could have been the mvp if we break down what mvp actually is about it is for the player who was the most valuable to his team the hr that greinke allowed had no bearing on the outcome of the game it was also the only hit that he allowed and that goes along with the 4 k s that he rang up pretty valuable if you ask me how about jacob degrom of the mets he strikes out three hitters on ten pitches 9 is the absolute minimum in the all star game impressive no who does that don t misconstrue my meaning mike trout is a great player he is possibly okay probably the best player in the major leagues now he is deserving of all the accolades that he receives almost in my opinion he was not the mvp of the 2015 all star game but trout has become the face of mlb and mlb needs to sell that image who will sell more merchandise and tickets for mlb trout or lorenzo cain duh in a time of sky rocketing contracts and other distractions mlb needs a fresh faced 23year old stud outfielder like mike trout to be its representative it is great for the game to be sure in the wings are players like kris bryant alex gordon andrew mccutchen brock holt joc pederson and many others but today it is mike trout a great player i am just not sure that he deserved the asg mvp this year share
