Yankees vs Royals Game Last summer I went to a Yankees vs Royals baseball game at kauffman stadium. Half of my family and I are huge Yankees fans, but the other have of them are Royals fans. So we all decided to pack up and head to the big game. Half of us had our Yankees hats, shirts, and jerseys on. The other half with their Royals clothes on. Throughout the years there's been many arguments on which team is better, when we got into the cars and started heading to the game the bets began to…

Moneyball The 2011 motion picture Moneyball is based upon the Oakland Athletics 2002 baseball season. The movie opens with a quote by Mickey Mantle, “It’s unbelievable how much you don’t know about the game you’ve been playing all your life” (as cited in De Luca, Horovitz, Pitt, & Miller, 2011). His words set the tone for movie as it focuses on the management side of baseball and the relationships of those involved with building a team. Faced with the lowest budget in the industry, Billy…

Eight members of the Chicago White Sox were banned baseball for losing the World Series on purpose. These eight players became known as the Black Sox. This left baseball in need of a hero and baseball found a hero in Babe. Babe hit 54 homeruns that season, which was more than the individual total of twelve other teams. This made the fans forget about the Black Sox. The game of baseball was forever changed. Babe’s stats soared in 1921; he hit fifty-nine…

pitcher but soon became known for his immense power as a slugger. He appeared in five games for the Red Sox, pitching in four of them in 1914 and won his major league debut on July 11, 1914. As a result of a loaded roster, Babe was optioned to the Red Sox minor league team, the Providence Grays, where he helped lead them to the International League pennant.

He soon caught the eye of the Boston Red Sox and was traded to them. He started his career at the Red Sox as a pitcher. However, when the managers saw how good of a batter he was, he was moved to the outfield so he would have the opportunity to bat more and have a bigger and better impact for the team. Even though Ruth was such an important part of the team and such a good batter, the owner of the Red Sox, Harry Frazee, sold him to the Yankees so he could fuel his performing…

began when Cincinnati became deadline sellers last season. The Reds’ first move was shipping pitching ace Johnny Cueto to the Kansas City Royals for three pitching prospects with a lot of upside. After the Cueto trade, Cincinnati moved another big part of its rotation, Mike Leake, who the Reds traded to the San Francisco Giants for two more prospects. Although moving the two big names is a sure sign that Cincinnati is rebuilding, the Reds took a lot of heat for not moving other veteran players…
