My Top Five Red Sox Hall of Famers of All Time

Hey baseball fans!

In case you don't know, I'm a huge Yankees fan. That means that I am literally forced to hate the Red Sox. However, I don't hate some of the Sox's past players. In fact, by the end of this post, you will know my top five favorite Red Sox Hall of Famers of all time, starting with number five.

Number Five: Ted Williams
Why? Ted was a great player, in fact sometimes he's considered the "greatest player that ever lived." He would be higher on this list if he hadn't done some of his better hitting against the Yankees. However, he hit well off every team, considering he batted .344 lifetime. He was a great player, just not good enough to get to the top spot on this list.

Number Four: Tris Speaker
Why? The Grey Eagle was one of the greatest players of all time. The best part was that he was in his prime when the Yankees were the laughingstock of the American League! Anyway, the 3,000+ hit club member batted .345 lifetime, won two Fall Classics with Boston and became a great manager as well.

Number Three: Jim Rice
Why? For one thing, Rice didn't pummel the Yankees every chance he got, but he was still a great player and is in the Hall because of it. The eight-time All Star outfielder was a two-time AL Champion for the Sox, but never won a World Series, because he played in the midst of the Curse of the Bambino, which was ironically started by a guy who went from the Sox to the Yankees. Anyway, the 350+ homer club member may not have been the best that there was, but he isn't in the number three slot on this list for nothing.

Number Two: Carl Yastrzemski
Why? Besides being the only Triple Crown winner with a last name consisting of ten of more letters, Yaz is one of the best all around hitters of all time. With 3,000+ hits and 450+ homers, Carl was one of the best players of his era in the Majors. To top it off, he went to 18 All Star Games! That's amazing, if your last name isn't Aaron or Mays.

Number One: Carlton Fisk
Why? I know you are probably thinking, "Why not Cy Young?" Well, if you check back to my Dream Team, you will see that Fisk is my favorite catcher of all time. To go along with that, the 11-time All Star won Game Six of the '75 World Series with a dramatic homer and hit 376 homers. He also had to survive the wear and tear of kneeling behind home plate for 20 years, so you got to give him some credit.

Well, that's my list. If you have a comment about it, comment about it in the comment section down below. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading it. Check back in a couple of days for more of "all the buzz on what wuzz."

My First Ever Movie Review

Hey baseball fans!

I'm sure you've all heard about the movie "42" that recently came out in theaters. Well, I decided to do a movie review of it!

The movie "42: The True Story of an American Legend" is the story of how Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and joined the major leagues, the first black man to do so. (To learn more about Jackie Robinson, just click here.) The stars of the movie were Jackie Robinson (played by Chadwick Boseman), and Branch Rickey, the owner of the Dodgers at the time (played by Harrison Ford). In the movie, Jackie overcomes adversity when he becomes the first African-American ballplayer in the MLB after he gets signed by Rickey. He is brought up to The Show in 1947 and a lot of people don't really like him because of the color of his skin, including Phillies manager Ben Chapman, who was very mean to Jackie. However, as the movie continues, the hate starts to turn into respect as people like Chapman and other players realize that Jackie is as good, if not better at baseball than them. In the movie and in real life, Jackie marries his college sweetheart, Rachel, the Dodgers win the National League pennant, and Robinson wins the first ever Rookie of the Year Award.

The movie provided some amazing special effects, as ballparks such as the Polo Grounds (Giants) Ebbets Field (Dodgers) and Forbes Field (Pirates) all looked so realistic. Also, every time a ball came out of the pitcher's hand, the camera view was as if the audience was the catcher, so I was bracing myself from getting hit with the ball. The movie wasn't even in 3D and I was scared out of my pants from getting beaned!

All in all, it was a great movie and if you haven't seen it, you really should. Well, I hope you enjoyed this movie review. Thanks for reading it and check back in a couple of days for more of "all the buzz on what wuzz."

The Little One Via Santa Barbara

Hey baseball fans!

I’m sure you know who has the most career home runs (Barry Bonds with 762), who has the most career wins (Cy Young with 511), and who has the longest consecutive hitting streak in baseball history (Joe DiMaggio with 56). However, do you know who holds the record for most games played in as a pitcher in baseball history? I’m sure Mets fans of the 1980s know but, in case you don’t, let me tell you some things about Jesse Orosco.

Orosco, like I said just before, provides played in the actual most game titles as some sort of drink pitcher throughout hockey historical past, totaling some sort of massive 1,252 games made an appearance with, from 1979-2003 with the Mets, Dodgers, Indians, Brewers, Orioles, Twins, Cardinals, Padres, and Yankees (interesting, he performed the particular same years seeing that Rickey Henderson). Orosco may well be many renowned regarding winning three games of your 1986 NLCS for your Mets to send the crooks to the entire world Series. Because Collection, Orosco finished off the Sox in the ninth of Game Seven to risk-free the second World Series win in team history. Other than those moments, his career will be pretty average: a two-time Many Star, 144 employment will save, a great Time involving Several.16 and a Blow of 1.263. On the other hand, he is usually far adored by Mets lovers, who received an elite reliever for most involving the ‘80s.
 All in all, Jesse is not in the Hall of Fame, but I don’t think anyone will come close to his record of most appearances as a pitcher in baseball history. He was a great closer and should be respected for his work on the mound.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading. Check back in a couple of days for more of "all the buzz on what wuzz."

Hey baseball fans!

 My partner and i ever published my own first publish concerning your Useless Ball Era and exactly how Infant Ruth altered the action of baseball. Rrt had been very meaningful because the idea was my own very first actual post. The actual next post in which My partner and i really liked seemed to be the particular just one on Harvey Haddix, the guy which lost any perfect game right after 12 innings. On May 6th, I posted my personal Fantasy Workforce, which was very enjoyment to produce simply because your good deal regarding men and women did not precisely consent together with my personal selections. Summer along with Come july 1st were being focused by simply the particular Play name Review, in which usually the particular supreme success was the particular Sultan regarding Swat, Babe Ruth (just click in this article to be able to see the post inside which often your success seemed to be reported). However ,, perhaps Babe is actually a nickname of the company's unique. Anyway, the next post that really sticks out is my first ever interview with a former player -- it was with Red Sox All Star Fred Lynn. It was really fun writing and I really wanted to continue doing interviews. In fact, here's a list of all the interviews that I've done on the blog this past year: 

• Aaron, Hank
• Albert, Kenny (sportscaster)
• Appel, Marty (famous sports author and public relations person)
• Attanasio, Mark (Brewers owner) [Mark was the first owner that I've interviewed]
• Berra, Yogi
• Blomberg, Ron (first DH in baseball history) [Ron was my first ever in person interview]

A fun post that I wrote was the one about baseball injuries. That was really interesting to research about. I also wrote about baseball's weirdest superstitions, something I think we all enjoyed. Five days later, on October 15th, I wrote about who I think would be on Baseball's Mount Rushmore, a very controversial post, which made it so fun to write about. On February 3rd, I posted my top five World Series ever. I just love doing these countdown posts because I get to speak my opinion. February was also really great because I was on TV twice (first on the Fox 5 News and then on the greatest network ever, the MLB Network (on the MLB Hot Stove show with Greg Amsinger and Harold Reynolds)).

All in all, it's been a really great year and I can't wait for another year of baseball history. It's going to be a fun year and I hope you are all ready for it. So, thanks for reading this blog, hope you enjoyed it, and check back soon for another edition of "all the buzz on what wuzz."
