  • LINE DRIVES the NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No
    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No. 3, Apr. 17, 2009) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Joe Dier NCBWA Membership: With the 2008-09 hoops season now in the record books, the collegiate spotlight is focusing more closely on the nation’s baseball diamonds. Though we’re heading into the final month of the season, there are still plenty of twists and turns ahead on the road to Omaha and the 2009 NCAA College World Series. The NCAA will soon be announcing details of next month’s tournament selection announcements naming the regional host sites (May 24) and the 64-team tournament field (May 25). To date, four different teams have claimed the top spot in the NCBWA’s national Division I polls --- Arizona State, Georgia, LSU, and North Carolina. Several other teams have graced the No. 1 position in other national polls. The NCAA’s mid-April RPI listing has Cal State Fullerton leading the 301-team pack, with 19 teams sporting 25-win records through games of April 12. For the record, New Mexico State tops the wins list with a 30-6 mark. As the conference races heat up from coast to coast, the NCBWA will begin the process for naming its All- America teams and the Divk Howser Trophy (see below). We will have a form going out to conference offices and Division I independents in coming days. Last year’s NCBWA-selected team included 56 outstanding baseball athletes, and we want to have the names of all deserving players on the table for consideration for this year’s awards.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • A's News Clips, Sunday, May 30, 2010 Brett Anderson Sparkles In
    A’s News Clips, Sunday, May 30, 2010 Brett Anderson sparkles in return for A's By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune The A's understandably had Brett Anderson on a short leash Saturday night. Therefore, it was a surprise when the bottom of the sixth inning rolled around and Anderson's workday wasn't done. The left-hander marked his return from the disabled list with 52/3 scoreless innings as the A's blanked the Detroit Tigers 6-0 before a crowd of 39,750 at Comerica Park. The A's won their fourth straight, reclaiming sole possession of first place in the American League West for the first time since May 5. Mark Ellis homered and had a season-high four RBIs, and Gabe Gross made an over-the-fence grab in left field that may rank as the A's defensive highlight of the year. But Anderson's surprising dominance, after he missed five weeks with a strained left forearm, had manager Bob Geren smiling in the clubhouse afterward. "That was very, very impressive," Geren said. "Considering the time he'd been off, to have that sharp of command and that good of stuff "... you couldn't ask for a better start." Anderson allowed Johnny Damon's one-out single in the first and then retired 16 in a row until the sixth. He was pulled that inning after Damon's double put runners on second and third with two outs. Brad Ziegler entered and retired Magglio Ordonez on a lineout to third to preserve the A's 2-0 lead.
