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.

    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!

Four at 25 homers

There's a four way tie at 25

We're just past the halfway point of the 2014 season and we have four players with 25 home runs.  J. Abreu who earlier spent two weeks on the DL has come back better than ever and is on track to win the HR title.

The four players with 25 homers are:

          JOSE ABREU.   # 79 / 1B 

Plays for the CWS who have 80 games left to play. He has played in 68 games and has a PHR of 54.411

          jOHN LINDSEY.  # 46 / 1B

Plays for Diables Rojos Del Mexico who have 71 games left play. He has played in 64 games and has a PHR of 52.307

          NELSON CRUZ. # 23 / L

Plays for the Baltimore Orioles who have 82 games left to play. He has played in 79 games and has a PHR of 50.949

          EDWIN ENCARNACION  # 10 / 1B

Plays for the Toronto Blue Jays who have 71 games left to play. He has played in 82 games and has a PHR of 49.087

This is the tightest race we have had in ten years with no clear leader, but I look for ABREU to take the lead after the All Star break.

At Santa Anita Ron Ellis as two great horses running:

Race 3. Post 6 Seeking the West. 3-1

Race 7. Post 1 Wonderful Union 3-1

In the Belmont I will bet aginst the 3-5 California Chrome ( he is not bred for 1 1/2 miles) and hope he runs out. I only bet $24 this race, a $1 trifecta box:

Ride on Curlin. 5-1

wicked Strong. 9-1

Samara at. 20-1

General a Rod. 20-1

If CC wins I will have a $24 souvenir, if he runs out I may have a huge payday.

Good luck at the races

PHRs are at there lowest in years. No one will hit 60 homers this year. Only two players have PHRs of 50 and history tells us that means no one will hit 50 this year. This has sofar been a very bad year for home run totals. Sounds like drug testing works.

N. Arenado streak and PHR standings

Nolan James Arenado streak now at 28, only a dozen games to go to pass join Frosty Kennedy on the 40 consecutive game hitting list. Frosty was the 19th player to hit in fourty consecutive games (1953). He since has dropped to 23rd on the list. Look for Frosty's name to once again be in the news if Arenado can make it to 40.

Nolan was born in Newport Beach, CA. And went to El Toro H.S. He was a 2nd round draft pick by Colorado Rockies in 2009.

JD Martinez is still with Detroit, J. Abreu back on track to hit 60 homers and J. Bautista now has nine homers and I think is about ready to take a run at the lead, I still fell he is the best HR hitter playing today. He leads all players in walks, great eye.

MiLB Home Run Contenders For 2014

MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS WHO MAY CONTEND FOR THE 2014 HOME RUN TITLE.
NOTE: Minor leagues play 144 game season and are mostly owned by a MLB club.

Jorge Canto- now playing for TIG in the AAA Mexican League. He has been playing since 2005. He has played in 615 MLB games and hit 73 homers. In 2013 his 162 game PHR was 60.

Joey Gallo- now as he did last year he is playing for the Hickory Crawdads in the single A Dov. He has no MLB exp. He hit a total of 40 home runs in 2013 and his 162 PHR was 58.

Japher Amador- Now playing for the Oklahoma City Redhawks. In 2013 he played in the AAA Mexican League. His 162 game PHR was 56

Ruben Mateo- Now as last year he is playkng for CDC of the AAA Mexican League. He has been playing since 2000. he has played a total of 243 MLB games with 14 home runs. His 2013 162 game PHR was 54.

PLAYERS TO WATCH- Mauro Gomez, Zack Borenstein, Ryan Rua and Barbano Canizaras.

Unless there is some red hot rookie out there I think one of these players will lead the MiLB in home runs.

Next I will have the MLB contenders. STAY TUNED!!!!!

2014 HOME RUN TITLE RACE IS ABOUT TO START.

IT’S LONGBALL SEASON AGAIN. TIME TO PUT UP SOME NAMES THAT MIGHT MAKE A RUN FOR THE 2014 HOME RUN TITLE.

For starters it was nice to see the league finally take a strong stand against juicing and give quite a few players 50 games off for bad behavior, and a solid 162 games off for that A0Rod dude. This should go a long ways to deep the juicers to just a few.

We all know that Sosa, McGwire and Bonds won’t be inducted to the Hall-of-Fame any time soon, but do you think their stats should be there either? Let me know who you think should be the MLB home run record holder should be.

IS IT HANK OR IS IT BARRY?

In the next few days I will be putting a list of longballers together for us to consider for this years title holder, if you have some suggestions let me know and why. At the end of March I will put my preseason offs for who will hit 60 homers and who will win the HR title. Stay tuned.

DEEP INTO THE SEASON AND DAVIS IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE IN HIS QUEST TO JOIN THE 60 HOMERS CLUB. IT WOULD BE VERY EXCITING TO SEE IF IT CAME DOWN TO LAST GAME OF THE SEASON.
 FROSTY KENNEDY HAD 59 HOMERS GOING INTO THE LAST DAY OF THE SEASON IN 1956, HE WENT 1 FOR 4 IN THE FIRST GAME OF A DOUBLE HITTER. IN THE SECOND GAME HE HAD A SO/BB/FLY OUT/SINGLE/ AND HIT HIS 60TH HOMER ON HIS LAST AT BAT OF THE SEASON TO PUT HIM INTO THE RECORD BOOKS OF BEING ONLY THE 10TH PLAYER AT THE TIME TO EVER HIT 60 OR MORE IN A SEASON IN ORG. BASEBALL. HIS STATS ARE ON DISPLAY IN COOPERS TOWN IN THE BABE RUTH WING OF THE HALL OF FAME.

ROGER MARIS SET THE MLB MARK OF 61 IN 1961 TO BECOME THE 11 PLAYER TO DO IT AND THAT RECORD STOOD ABOUT 40 YEARS UNTIL THE JUICE IN THE ARM GANG SHOWED UP AND DID IT FIVE TIMES IN JUST A FEW YEARS. I WAS VERY GLAD TO SEE MLB TAKING THE ACTION IT DID THIS MONTH WITH THE DRUGI ES.

Frosty Kennedy has made a list of baseball greats.

.Home Sports .Former local player ‘Frosty’ remembered

Former local player ‘Frosty’ remembered,

A baseball player with Plainview ties has made a list of baseball greats.
Forrest "Frosty" Kennedy, who played for Plainview's minor league team in the 1950s, was included on Terry Cannon's list of All-Time Southland Baseball All-Stars.

The story appears on the Los Angeles Times' Web site, www.latimes.com.

Cannon is the executive director of the Baseball Reliquary, which celebrates pioneers and trailblazers, and often emphasizes cultural contributions made by ballplayers over statistical accomplishments. Therefore, his list of all-stars includes both well-known and obscure figures.
Cannon's information on Kennedy, who was born in Los Angeles, says he "never played in the major leagues, but was considered by many to be the Babe Ruth of the minor leagues.

"He hit an astounding 60 home runs for Plainview, Texas, in the Southwestern League in 1956. No one in the majors has hit .400 since Ted Williams in 1941; Kennedy hit .410 at Riverside in the Sunset League in 1949 and .410 at Plainview in 1953.

"Kennedy had a few chances to go up to the bigs, but he opted to stay in the minors because he was making decent money and ‘in the little towns where I played, the people always wanted to buy me dinner, buy me drinks. I made out real well right where I was at.' "
