The other leagues, NFL, NBA, NHL have had different uniforms for their All-Star games for years. MLB just catching up. Now they can gouge consumers for those "special" All-Star game uniforms.

Just hope none of the players come down with Covid. Looks like it was a mini-spreader event, and as only Keith Olbermann can put it, something needs to be done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_vRBXpkn_g

All that Cleveland Indians stuff just became collectors items: https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/23/us/cleveland-major-league-baseball-name/index.html

Next time you're at a Dodgers game and all those beers you had tell you it's okay to run out onto the field, never mind the security guards, but watch out for the ball girl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL5F9lZKUHc

For just the second time in the last five years, no Dodgers in the World Series. It's the Braves, a team I have never liked, versis the Cheatstros, a team I iwll NEVER like. Good thing football, basketball, and hockey have all started.

Looks like the Dodgers will be retiring number 14, Gil Hodges FINALLY makes the Hall of Fame.

Hall of Fame announces 2022 inductees

The Baseball Hall of Fame will officially have six more members via its committee voting.

Here are the names, with a quick resume, announced by Hall of Fame president Josh Rawitch on Sunday via MLB Network:


Minnie Miñoso: A nine-time MLB All-Star and former Negro Leagues All-Star who became known as Mr. White Sox for his years with the team.

Gil Hodges: A longtime Dodgers (first Brooklyn then Los Angeles) first baseman who won two World Series with the team and also oversaw the Miracle Mets 1969 championship as manager.

Jim Kaat: A Minnesota Twins southpaw known for his longevity and fielding, both evidenced by his 16 career Gold Glove awards, tied for second-most overall behind Greg Maddux.

Tony Oliva: Another Twins star who became the first rookie to win a batting title (which only Ichiro Suzuki has done since) and also earned a Rookie of the Year award, two more titles and eight All-Star nods, plus two World Series titles as a coach.

Buck O'Neil: A Negro Leagues player and manager who became the first Black coach in AL/NL history and helped create the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.

Bud Fowler: The earliest known African-American player in professional baseball.

Kaat and Oliva are the only players who are not receiving the honor posthumously.

What an injustice that it took so long to induct Buck O'Neil.
