Baseball Dollars vs. Baseball Sense: The Orioles' and Marlins' Offseasons
Sometimes baseball clubs do things that make no real sense. Take the Orioles, for example. This off-season their highly respected General Manager Pat Gillick has made a number of moves that at best can be termed bizarre.

Here Comes The Season...
I was in the Orioles store on Farragut Square on Friday, and I heard a man complaining because his Opening Day tickets are too high. Too high. The man is going to be in the stadium, not at work, just enjoying a baseball game, possibly a beer, and he’s complaining because he’s going to be too far from the grass?

It Really Is Offensive
Great pitching and defense often create excruciating tension which can be released with almost no warning at any time. In a 1-0 game in the eighth inning, every pitch and every play is important. A two run home run by the team with the lead puts the game out of reach while a two run home run by the trailing team turns the game around.

On the Radio
Of greater significance was the discovery that I could actually listen to games that were being played elsewhere. Speak about opening a case full of worms. At about dusk, it becomes possible to receive clear channel, 50,000 watt AM radio stations. Clear channel simply means that at sunset, less powerful stations must sign off the air, leaving the frequency to the most powerful stations.

Predestined?
Part of baseball’s magnetic appeal is that in almost every game there are unique variations on familiar themes. Fortunate fans see things they have never seen before while even more fortunate fans may experience seeing things that no one has ever seen. On April 10, 2005, fans at Yankee Stadium saw a play that led some to wonder about the predestined hit, only the hit wasn’t a hit.

Twenty Game Loser? Hall of Famer
Baseball’s Hall of Fame is the home of the best players in the history of the game, but even some of the best have had problems. One mark of a top flight pitcher is winning 20 games in a season, and quite a few pitchers have even won 30 games in a season, but what is remarkable is that many Hall of Fame pitchers have lost at least 20 games in a season.

Birds, Fish and other Baseball Observations
The Diamondbacks' walk of Barry Bonds with the bases loaded the other night was certainly a unique event. According to Rob Neyer of ESPN Sportszone, no major leaguer had been walked with the bases loaded in over 40 years - but, ironically, the intentional walk probably made a lot more sense in that situation than in most situations in which it is used. So it really shouldn't be considered controversial or questionable.

Brown Rage
Kevin Brown is as intense as they come. When the Yankees obtained his contract from the Los Angeles Dodgers, they knew what they were getting. They were getting a pitcher who wants to win as much as anyone who ever played the game.

It Might Have Been

A Tale of Two Leagues
The World Series was viewed as the primary test between the leagues. It was difficult for one league to claim superiority over the other if its representative lost the World Series. The All-Star became the second most important method to compare the leagues. During the first half of the 20th century, the World Series and the All-Star game were the most important sporting events in the country.

No Pitching?
The New York Yankees won their first pennant in 1921 and last won the World Series in 2000. While the Yankees have had many outstanding pitchers, almost all of the greatest of the great pitched elsewhere. Despite that fact, the Yankees may be the team whose pitching has been the best and most consistent of the modern era.

We Have Met the Enemy and He Has Become Us
George Steinbrenner would serve the Yankees best by allowing those who can evaluate players and understand how winning teams are put together make the decisions. The Yankees have too many needs to fill in one off season. Steinbrenner must give those who can produce a winner enough time and autonomy to do so. Right.

Welcome Home, Nationals!
If you’d asked me a year ago if we’d ever get baseball back in Washington, I would have said no way, no day. Baseball? In Washington? It still seemed like a total pipe dream. But baseball did, in fact, return to the nation’s capitol on April 14, the night of the Washington Nationals’ home opener at RFK Stadium.
