    2014 World Series: game 3

    Byyankeebiscuitfan October 25, 2014

           vs  Where game one and two were rather one sided, game three was a nailbiter from the start. Tim Hudson who started for the Giants allowed one run in the first inning when Alcides Escobar, who had hit a double and had advanced to third on a ground out by Alex Gordon…

    History of Dutch baseball: 1940-1960

    Byyankeebiscuitfan October 23, 2014

    After the Germans invaded Western Europe, the Netherlands surrendered after five days of fighting. During the German occupation baseball in the Netherlands went through a hard time, just like the Dutch people. Many supplies were claimed by the Germans for their army and war industry. So wood and leather were materials that were hard to…

    Minor League Baseball’s poverty wages

    Byyankeebiscuitfan October 21, 2014

    I love Minor League baseball as you may know by now. To me it is the more honest version of baseball. Sure these players hope to break into the Bigs one day but they play for the game itself. This is what I kept telling myself for years. Now it appears that this isn’t all…

    Worst World Series ever?

    Byyankeebiscuitfan October 21, 2014

    ESPN published this article on the upcoming World Series. According to ESPN the 2014 edition would be the worst World Series ever…. Why?

    History of Dutch baseball: 1869-1939

    Byyankeebiscuitfan October 17, 2014

    About ten years ago I wrote a piece about the history of Dutch baseball for the baseball forum baseball-fever.com. Through the years it has literally been copied and placed on Wikipedia. This is an updated version of my piece. 1869-1939 Long it was considered that J.C. Grase, an English teacher from Amsterdam was the person…
