Gary, Joe, and Gil
It was bound to happen, and after it happened, no one reported it. Gary Sheffield dropped a fly ball in the third inning of yesterday’s game when the ball hit the middle of his glove, which was next to his left hip, and popped out. Fortunately for the self declared Yankees’ team leader, the Texas Rangers had a runner on first, enabling the quick witted, never give in, “I don’t strike out when I don’t want to” Sheffield to fire the fallen baseball to Robinson Cano, who in turn fired to Derek Jeter to force Kevin Mensch at second.

The 1969 New York Mets
To say that the New York Mets were mediocre would have been kind. They had, after all, been pretty darned lousy during their brief history. That all changed in 1969.

When fans think of the Brooklyn Dodgers they usually think of Ebbets Field and Brooklyn’s devastating home run power. The Brooklyn Dodgers' last decade, the decade of Jackie Robinson, PeeWee Reese, Duke Snider, Gil Hodges, Roy Campanella, Carl Furillo, and Don Newcombe has left an indelible association between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the home run, but it was not always so.

The Year Was 1950
The year was 1950, the date was September 19 and the Philadelphia Phillies led the Brooklyn Dodgers by 9 games with 15 left to play. When the season dwindled to a precious single game, so too had Philadelphia’s lead. The last game of the season would be played in Brooklyn and if the Brooks won, they would tie the Phillies for the pennant.
