Why is it that the worst teams (Cubs, Dodgers, Orioles and Pirates) seem to play in the best ballparks? The product on the field is never reason enough to visit those stadiums. Rather, you’re going for the structural aesthetic wonderland that plays out before you as you first enter the park then take your seat […]

You may not know the 16-year-old kid in the picture to the right, but he just broke the biggest and most controversial story of baseball’s offseason. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Curt Hogg.

The Lake County Fielders may still owe rent on their office and money to their vendors, but at least they’re trying to do right by their employees.
