BASEBALL PING LIST

If you would like to be on the ping list let me know.

This will be a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.

One of the most overhyped baseball record achievements of all time, which is taking nothing away from Jeter's excellence on the field. The major reason for it being overplayed is because of the Damn Yankees factor.

What's being overlooked is that (1) Jeter has virtually no chance of getting close to Pete Rose's all-time record or even Ty Cobb's AL record and (2) Jeter would still have a long way to go catch Gehrig's Yankees record had Gehrig not been stricken by the disaster of ALS. (I am unaware of any other player in MLB history whose career was cut short by ALS. It is generally a disease of individuals in their 50s or 60s.)
