1). Strange Exchange By : J Square Humboldt
Just when you think the sports world has produced every possible bizarre trade imaginable, they still manage to top themselves ... A broadcaster for a rabbit. And a cartoon rabbit, at that. When baseball journeyman Harry Chiti got dealt to the New York Mets for a player to be named later, little did he know that player would be him. The Chicago Cubs could spare a backup catcher during the early season, and apparently, the Mets saw enough of Chiti afterward.

4). Phillies Ticket at Face Value By : Jay
On opening day for the Philadelphia Phillies, my wife and I were anxious to attend but we did not have tickets. The night before the game, we decided to arrive at the ballpark early with a cooler full of tailgating food and drink, and try to find a scalper that would give us a deal on some good seats. Much to our surprise, there was not a scalper in sight.

I think I have the answer, but of course, it is just my opinion.

8). Making All City By : awallad
Toward the end of my junior year at Weequahic High School in Newark New Jersey, I started hearing from my friends that I was going to make All City. How did they know I asked myself?

9). Off To See The Wizard By : Sharron Myers
Do you remember the story of “The Wizard of Oz”? In this story we saw the characters of Dorothy, who had wanted to run away from home because she thought there was a better place somewhere. We also met the scarecrow who believed he had no brain, the lion who thought he had no courage, and the kindly tin man who assumed he had no heart. Together the four of them set off to the Emerald City to find the wizard in hopes that he could bestow upon them these virtues and find a way for Dorothy to go back home.

13). Mister Runs Batted In Lou Gehrig By : awallad
The production company called Lou Gehrig was a thriving business in the late 1920's and throughout the 1930's. No man had more of impact for me of driving home runs than Lou. Production is what Lou was all about. He had seven years where his business surpassed 150 RBIs in that year. A record for most times knocking in 150 or more runs in a year.
