I once hit a walkoff homerun. It was in Little League. We were trailing, 8-7, in the last inning when I came up to bat with the bases loaded. I ripped a line drive just inside the first base line and managed to touch ‘em all before they got the ball in for a game-winning, inside-the-park grand slam*. *Truth be told, it was Little League, and I wasn’t the World’s Fastest Kid.

Now Pitching For The Cincinnati Reds…
Some might argue that Homer Bailey doesn’t deserve a “Now Pitching For…” post; after all, it is an honor typically reserved for prospects who are just arriving on the major league scene, not ones who appeared in nine games and pitched 45.3 innings in 2007.

Though I’m a Red Sox fan and would welcome the chance to see youngsters like Clay Buchholz and Justin Masterson for a far more reasonable price than a trip to Fenway, this trip wasn’t about them.

Is Jay Bruce Gonna Go Bats To Start The Season?
Last fall, Eric and I spent some time on here talking up Jay Bruce, the 20-year-old Cincinnati Reds prospect who lit up three minor league levels in 2007 (26 homeruns, 89 runs batted in, .319 batting average, .962 OPS, 46 doubles in 133 games). In the early stages of spring training this year, Bruce seemed to have the inside track on Cincinnati’s centerfield job, but that might have changed with today’s news that the team...
