  • I Ran Into Pete Rose in Philly Airport a Couple of Months Ago
    I ran into Pete Rose in Philly airport a couple of months ago. Not like he ran into Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game though - because that would hurt. More about that game later. Pete was at his gate waiting for a flight to Cincinnati. (Naturally) But he was wearing a Phillies ball cap. (Interesting!). As a Canadian, I saw no need to approach him for any reason whatsoever. Canadians and Americans deal with celebrities differently. I went back to the restaurant and informed my American wife of nearby celebrity, evidently also informing the eavesdropping lady at the next table, and both of them practically dropped their forks to head over to the Cincy gate. I had actually met Rose before, as he signed baseball cards in a Vegas sport collectibles store. I remembered feeling sad for him. Which was odd, because his life has been such an incredible story - the fluky way he first got to the Majors; how he became one the greatest players ever, and still holds Major League records for games (3562), at-bats (14053), hits (4256), and singles (3215). Three World Series wins later he gets accused of betting on baseball games, including ones involving the Reds - while managing the Reds. He denies, denies....and then, 15 years later, admits to it in his biography. He got a life-time ban from baseball, and from consideration for the Hall of Fame. He was then relegated to a life of card signing, reality shows, and stunts. There were allegations of sexual relations with a minor, and he also did 5 months of jail time for failing to report income from memorabilia signings, receiving a conviction for tax evasion.

  • Blocking the Plate
    Rule 7.13: COLLISIONS AT HOME PLATE. (1) A runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate). If, in the judgment of the umpire, a runner attempting to score initiates contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate) in such a manner, the umpire shall declare the runner out (even if the player covering home plate loses possession of the ball). In such circumstances, the umpire shall call the ball dead, and all other base runners shall return to the last base touched at the time of the collision. • Score as Offensive Interference, per rule 10.09(c)(6) (2) Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score. If, in the judgment of the umpire, the catcher without possession of the ball blocks the pathway of the runner, the umpire shall call or signal the runner safe. Notwithstanding the above, it shall not be considered a violation of this Rule 7.13 if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in order to field a throw, and the umpire determines that the catcher could not have fielded the ball without blocking the pathway of the runner and that contact with the runner was unavoidable. • Obstruction (Decisive Error) may be scored, but only if the blocking of the plate call changed what was going to happen – in the opinion of the scorer – if there had been no blocking of the plate, per rule 10.12(c) Comment.

  • Stepping Into Coaching 3 Coach and a Parent, and Think About How Those Roles Relate to Each Other
    chapter 1 SteppingStepping IntoInto CoachingCoaching If you are like most youth league coaches, you have probably been recruited from the ranks of concerned parents, sport enthusiasts, or com- munity volunteers. Like many rookie and veteran coaches, you prob- ably have had little formal instruction on how to coach. But when the call went out for coaches to assist with the local youth baseball pro- gram, you answered because you like children and enjoy baseball, and perhaps because you wanted to be involved in a worthwhile commu- nity activity. Your initial coaching assignment may be difficult. Like many volun- teers, you may not know everything there is to know about baseball or about how to work with children. Coaching Youth Baseball will help you learn the basics of coaching baseball effectively. To start, let’s take a look at what’s involved in being a coach. What are your responsibilities? We’ll also talk about how to handle the situa- tion when your child is on the team you coach, and we’ll examine five tools for being an effective coach. 1 2 Coaching Youth Baseball Your Responsibilities As a Coach As a baseball coach, you’ll be called upon to do the following: 1. Provide a safe physical environment. Playing baseball holds an inherent risk, but as a coach you’re responsible for regularly inspecting the practice and competition fields (see the checklists for facilities and equipment in chapter 6). 2. Communicate in a positive way. You’ll communicate not only with your players but also with parents, umpires, and administrators.

  • 3 Fielder Drills by Position
    3 FIELDER DRILLS BY POSITION 42 Chapter 3 3-1 PITCHER FIELDING DRILLS The pitcher is the fifth infielder covering the middle of the diamond. The highest percentage of batted balls go through the center of the diamond. Hitters are told when they fall behind in the count, shorten the bat and think "middle." If the hitters are thinking middle and are hitting that way, the pitcher must work hard at being that fifth infielder. It is scary to think that the pitcher is only 60 feet from the hitter, consequently, his reaction time to the batted ball has to be better than that of the third baseman. The third baseman's position is called the "hot corner," the pitcher's defensive position probably should be called "suicide alley." In pitching mechanics drills we placed a great deal of emphasis on the pitcher's glove hand and the finish position in the delivery of the ball. The glove hand must be in front and ready for the ball. If pitchers are careless and let their glove hands fly behind them, they are going to get seriously hurt somewhere along the way. Pitching absolutes are: • have good control • keep the runners on 1st base by having a great pick-off move • be an outstanding fielder • concentrate • concentrate some more These "absolutes" can be taught by emphasizing the following drills. P-1. DRILL: TWO MAN PEPPER Purpose: To continually play the ball off the bat. I believe that if it is played properly pepper is the best drill in baseball. Players and Equipment Needed: Two pitchers, gloves, a bat and several baseballs.

  • MLB Baseball Weekly --- Friday, April 14Th, 2006 by MATTHEW HATFIELD
    MLB Baseball Weekly --- Friday, April 14th, 2006 BY MATTHEW HATFIELD Welcome to our first edition of MLB Weekly for this season on Good Friday. I’m very excited that spring has come, the temperature is beginning to warm up on a more consistent basis and baseball has begun. A lot has already transpired early on in this 2006 baseball campaign so lets get to it…. Bonds, Barry Bonds: No Laughing or Lying Matter: It never ends with Barry Bonds, does it? Third on the all-time home run list, trailing only Babe Ruth and Henry ‘Hank’ Aaron, Bonds has been the center of attention for the baseball media and sports media. No surprise either. Just look at all the stuff revolving him; he’s a human lightning rod for public interest. The latest thing in the Bonds timeline: a federal grand jury investigating whether or not he committed perjury in 2003 when he testified in 2003 that he never used steroids. The news was first broken on Thursday night by CNN. What’s it all mean? That spotlight is only going to shine brighter, and maybe not all for the better. Barry Lamar Bonds is still stuck on 708 home runs for his career, an illustrious one at that I might add. (AP) Lets take a closer look at all the happenings surrounding the man chasing the Babe as well as Aaron’s mark of 755 career dingers. Before the season, Bonds dressed up as Paula Abdul, garnishing more than a few laughs. However, the steroid allegations and the release of the book ‘Game of Shadows’ was no laughing matter for the Bonds party.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, April 4, 2020 * The Boston Globe When can sports resume? Attempts by Asian leagues provide valuable insight for Major League Baseball Alex Speier Half a world away from home, two healthy former members of the Red Sox sit in two-week quarantines while waiting for baseball to resume in their Asian leagues. In Newburyport, another ex-Red Sox player contemplates the possibility of his own two-week quarantine if he wants to pitch in the coming months. The three players — former top pitching prospect Casey Kelly, first baseman/outfielder Jerry Sands (a member of the organization for roughly four months who never played for the team), and former big league pitcher Justin Haley — serve as reminders of the many challenges that await the resumption of sports leagues in the wake of a global pandemic. While all of the major US sports leagues remain in shutdown as part of the public health response to the COVID-19 spread, three professional baseball leagues in Asia are in varying states of operation. Efforts in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to conduct games offer insight into the challenges sports leagues here will face. Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have established a loose date of April 10 by which to have discussions about the resumption of play. Those conversations will be informed by what’s happening in other countries’ efforts to restart. Among those early lessons: ▪ A single positive test can disrupt an entire league Little has changed in the three weeks since Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus, an event that served as the lead domino for the shutdown first of the NBA and then all US leagues.
