2015 HALL OF FAME

Congratulations to the new members of the HOF.

Randy Johnson- had a 22 year pitching career with 303 wins and 166 loses.  He hit 411 home runs and got the most votes (534) and 97.3% on his first time on the ballot.

Pedro Martinez- 18 year pitching career with a record of 219-100. He had 500 votes (91.1%) and 239 HRs, 1st time on ballot.

John Smoltz hit 288 home runs in a 21 year pitching career with a record of 213-155. He received 455 votes (82.7%) on his first time on ballot.

Craig Biggio received 454 votes (82.7%) this was his first time on ballot. In a 20 year career he hit 291 homers, had 1175 RBIs and BA of .281.

Some members of the Juice-IN-THE-ARM Gang also got some votes:

Player.........................votes..%...YOB

Roger Clemens...........206...37.5...3

Barry Bonds................202..36.8....3

Mark McGwire..............55...10.......9

Sammy Sosa................36....6.6.....3

Players need 75% of the vote and can only remain on the ballot for 10 years as long as they get least 5% of the vote the previous year. Bonds has one year left to make it and Sosa barely held on with 6.6%. These juicers will never get in, let's hope.

World Series prediction

Tonight game one of the 2014 WS will be played. SF (88-74) and KC (89-73) both made it to the Fall Classic as wildcard teams with almost the same w/l record.

  Don't look for a lot of longballs to be hit in this series, only B.Posey of SF made the top 50 home run hitters this year.

        60 Homers Club pick to win WS

        SF

The top five starters when adjusted for a 162 game season hit for a total of 112 homers and 395 RBIs.

        KC

Top five starters when adjusted for a 162 game season hit for a total of 76 home runs and 357 RBIs

  60 homers Club will pick SF to win the WS with the following odds.

Win in No. of games

SF 4  3-1

SF 5. 8-5

SF 6  3-1

SF 7  4-1

KC 4 10-1

KC 5 8-1

KC 6 6-1

KC 7 9-2

I think SF will take it in 5

In all of baseball these may be the two worst teams ever to play for a world championship.

Home Run Standings as of 09/13/2014

Note: this year Joey Gallo of Las Vegas NV leads all players sofar with 42 homers, but with two teams so his total will not count for HR title.

Joey hit 21 homers for Myrtle Beach of the A. Adv. Carolina League in 58 games and then he was traded to the Frisco Roughriders of the AA Texas League whose parent club is the Texas Rangers.

I'm still waiting for someone to hit 40 HRs in MLB.

Here are the players with 35 or more Homers:

N. Cruz. 39 Amr.

M. Olson 37 Calif.

G. Stanton 37 Nat. May be out for season.

C. Carter 36 Nat.

S. Moya 35 Eastern

Only Cruz and Carter have games left to play on the list.

20 MLB games left, the race to 40 HRs

Top five home run leaders.

N. Cruz  39

M. Olson. 37

C. Carter. 36

G. Stanton. 36

S. Moya. 35

I see C. Carter is making a strong late bid to repeat as Home Run Title Holder.  I say first one to hit 40 wins title.

Congrats to the Angles for having the best record in baseball. It is so close at the top of the Home Run leader board that I think any of the top six PHRs can still win it.

PHR standings as of 8/17/14

All players 30 or more home runs are listed with their pre-season odds.

1. J. Lindsey PHR 42.  Odds. 80-1

    33 homers in 105 games. 30 left.

    Mexican league- AAA

2. G. Stanton PHR 41.  Odds 4-1

       32 homers in 124 games. 38 left

     National league- MLB

3. N. Cruz  PHR 41.  Odds 20-1

   31 homers in 120 games. 40 left

   American League - MLB

4. J. Abreu. PHR 41. Odds 5-2

       31 homers in 109 games. 38 left

        American League - MLB

5. M. Olson - PHR 40.  Odds 80-1

    35 homers in 123 games. 19 left

     Calif. League - AA

6. S. Moya - PHR 34  Odds 80-1

    30 homers in 120 games. 17 left

    Eastern League - A. Adv.

Closest race in 15 years with the minor leagues still in the running with less than 40 games to go. Very real chance that 40 home runs will not happen this year.

If the MLB playoffs were to start today...

My team the LA Angels took over first place in the ALW today. Here are the teams with the best win percentage;

LAA...595 ALW

OAK..593 ALW

BAL..570 ALE

WAS..562 NLE

LAD...560 NLW

MIL....556 NLC

KC.....549 ALC

DET...545 ALC

STL...533 NLC

Play off picture would look like this:

  AL

LAA vs KC

OAK vs BAL

NL

WSH vs STL

LAD vs MIL

Next closest wild card is DET in the AL, but really has no chance.

If Angles make playoffs and are 3-1 to win the WS, I'm going to Vegas baby!

And look who's knocking on the door

Mike Trout of the LAA has 22 homers in 90 games, Congrats on being named MPV of the 2014 All Star game.

It was 100 years ago this month that Babe Ruth played his first MLB game and would go on to be the first member of the 60 Homers Club.
