  • How Lucrative It Is To Be The Mvp

  • There's A Baseball Bat Out There For Every Player
    By: Sebastian Marders | - It'd be a nice thing if there had been one equation to help every one of us choose what the ideal baseball bat would be. A formula that takes into account the basic stats, height, age, ability level and strength. The power in my grip, for example, is way better than some and worse than others.

  • Dating And Dealing With Rejection
    By: Marc Jordan | - The top three home run hitters of all-time are Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. Bonds hit 762 home runs, Aaron hit 755, and Ruth hit 714.

    Interestingly, each one also struck out twice as many times as they scored. Bonds struck out 1,539 times, Aaron struck out 1,383 times, and Ruth struck out 1,330 times.

    My point, of course, is that they failed twice as many times as they succeeded. And yet today they remain at the pinnacle of baseball success.
