This is what the Cardinals used to neutralize Ted Williams. The .350+ hitter during the season was able to muster a 5-for-25 World Series (.250). Make all the complaining you want but if it works and helps win games, do it.

Here is my attempt to identify the Top 25 players in College Basketball this season. #25) Nigel Hayes, F, Wisconsin – He is a good perimeter shooter with 39% from 3-point land. He can go inside if needed. In the past, he yielded to Sam Dekker and Frank Kaminsky but now they are gone….
Just a note about the last time the Cubs won a World Series. Seems a bit backhanded The 1908 pennant races in both the AL and NL were among the most exciting ever witnessed. The conclusion of the National League season, in particular, involved a bizarre chain of events, often referred to as the…
