2015 Hall of Fame Inductees
There is lots of discussion on MLB TV about the 34 HOF candidates. I wanted to start a new thread to see what you guys think. I’m categorizing my 10 unofficial votes as lock, got a shot, longshot and not in my lifetime due to PEDs. Lock: Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, and Mike Piazza. In my mind, these guys clearly separated themselves from others. Piazza was the best offensive catcher ever. Pedro and Randy were both dominate for a long time. Got a shot: Tim Raines, Edgar Martinez, John...

A simple way to show why line drives rule.
For those of you looking for a way to convince your hitters that line drives are the best way to go, try tracking your hitters so you can get the minimal information on BIPs of name, ball trajectory, and whether it’s a hit or not.
