2026 Contemporary Baseball Era Committee Candidate: Fernando Valenzuela
Beyond his years as a star pitcher, Valenzuela’s cultural impact and role as a global ambassador are worthy of recognition in Cooperstown.

Jeanne Shaheen & Maggie Hassan what the actual fuck

New Hampshire yet again proving it’s the Texas of the north. Unbelievable.

Jim Kaat fWAR 70.9, bWAR 45.2

Paul Derringer fWAR 61.4, bWAR 39

I’m curious which WAR people use when looking at pitchers.

Taking 3 ballots to reach the hall is absolutely insane

I’m all in on Valenzuela. Murphy & Mattingly I’m meh on but not a def. no. The rest I’m a def. no at the moment.
My predictions.

🔹In this year: Murphy, Valenzuela
🔹Next time around: Mattingly
🔹Never (*): Bonds, Clemens, Delgado, Kent, Sheffield

* Recommending that MLB televise an event where these guys can at least receive "My Dawg" tee shirts from Big Papi.

Should win it imo but I think it’s going to Skubal again.
Absolute Beast.

On this day in 1882, John Preston “Pete” Hill was born in Culpeper, VA. The five-tool player was considered one of the first superstars in black baseball. Here’s an in-progress painting of him with the Chicago Leland Giants in 1907, facing the Cuban Stars of Havana at Logan Park.

We talk a lot about Cal's butt and Cal's dongs but we don't talk nearly enough about how Cal hasn't had a passed ball in 17000+ pitches

I’ve talked about the legend of Steve Dalkowski for many, many years. Mainly to deaf ears, sadly. This might be the best Foolish Baseball vid to date. Watch it.
