  • Heroes and Rallies Baseball
    Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart.

  • Maryland Players Selected in Major League Baseball Free-Agent Drafts
    Maryland Players selected in Major League Baseball Free-Agent Drafts Compiled by the Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches Updated 16 February 2021 Table of Contents History .............................................................................. 2 MLB Draft Selections by Year ......................................... 3 Maryland First Round MLB Draft Selections ................. 27 Maryland Draft Selections Making the Majors ............... 28 MLB Draft Selections by Maryland Player .................... 31 MLB Draft Selections by Maryland High School ........... 53 MLB Draft Selections by Maryland College .................. 77 1 History Major League Baseball’s annual First-Year Player Draft began in June, 1965. The purpose of the draft is to assign amateur baseball players to major league teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick. Eligible amateur players include graduated high school players who have not attended college, any junior or community college players, and players at four-year colleges and universities three years after first enrolling or after their 21st birthdays (whichever occurs first). From 1966-1986, a January draft was held in addition to the June draft targeting high school players who graduated in the winter, junior college players, and players who had dropped out of four-year colleges and universities. To date, there have been 1,170 Maryland players selected in the First-Year Player Drafts either from a Maryland High School (337), Maryland College (458), Non-Maryland College (357), or a Maryland amateur baseball club (18). The most Maryland selections in a year was in 1970 (38) followed by 1984 (37) and 1983 (36). The first Maryland selection was Jim Spencer from Andover High School with the 11th overall selection in the inaugural 1965 June draft.

  • Fame Is the Name Within the Game
    Fame is the name within the game By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, April 9, 2013 A ton of things in life are compared to baseball, the mother game. Baseball metaphors are as common as failed closers on Chicago’s North Side. It cuts both ways. Each spring a new crop of distinctive names breaks into the game. Many of the names re- mind you of something, as baseball retains a hold on the populace like no other (in contrast to supposedly more popular, but gambling-oriented football). We love to chew over baseball names. Remember how Harry Caray tried to pronounce “Grudzielanek” back- ward. Good thing Harry wasn’t around when “Grud” was the Cubs’ everyday second baseman for two years. So as a public service, the Chicago Baseball Museum is relating the distinctive names in the game in a number of different categories. And just like the stretched strike zone for control masters like Maddux and Glavine, the “phantom” double play at second base, or bang-bang call at first base that doesn’t match the re- Frank Thomas not only has a statue at sult of the HD replay, we’ve taken some liberties, with U.S. Cellular Field, but also a Chicago spellings. side street in his name. Broadcasters and sportswriters are included. “Wringers” from outside baseball are included as honorary members. First names and nicknames apply in each category. Have fun. The game itself: Matt Batts; Art, Jeff, Jim and Neal Ball; Prince and Cecil Fielder; Scott and Thomas Diamond; Gary Glover; Josh Fields; Lee Walls; Bump Wills; Johnny Bench; Brett Pill; Dave Philley; Dave Chalk; Brandon Belt; Stan Hack and Justin Smoak.
