Major League Baseball's season has already started...HUH??? And "opening day" is on Thursday...why? What is the MLB doing? Here is my plan to fix the MLB...
It's not too often when you play professional baseball that you get make a career out of it. For some it's one-shot-and-your-out. For some players, if they're lucky, they get to the majors out of the minor leagues for a few games. For some they have the talent to move into the majors and they make an impact on the game. One of those individuals will be honored by the St. Louis Cardinals on July 31. His name is Ted Simmons.
Is the glass half full or is it half empty? You've heard this saying before. Of course, it depends on whether you're an optimist or a pessimist. As far as the Kansas City Royals go this year, I'm optimistically looking at the the MLB Power rankings, and I'm feeling more like a pessimist right now after seeing them!
I guess you could say looking back to the year 1979, the Kansas City Royals had a part in sports history as two players they could have signed wound up with NFL Hall-of-Fame careers. So what would have happened if they chose pro baseball over pro football?
