Batter Up----Let's Play Ball....
May 28,2005 Baseball Farming reports historic event of the year right here in our Baseball Journal. BARRY BONDS HITS NO. 715: Barry Bonds Hits Home Run No. 715 And Passes Babe Ruth For Second Place On The All-Time List For Career Home Runs. The homer on Sunday afternoon May 28th, 2006 placed him second to Henry (Hammering Hank) Aaron who stands at 755 total career homers. Bonds homer came in the bottom of the fourth inning off Colorado Rockies pitcher Byung-Hyun Kim at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, Ca. Bonds bats left handed while Ruth batted left handed but Aaron batted right handed. Now for history and the record for career total homers it's left handed hitter trying to overcome the mark of a right handed hitter. Myself being a left handed hitter I'm partial to seeing a left hander over take the right hander especially since my Great Bambino has been over taken. It's time the left handed hitters get a new lefty leading the way.
May 28, 2006 Baseball Spins---Everything in the Universe Spins. Tell me you were not taught that everything in our solar system spins around the sun? The earth spins, wheels spin, spinning wheel spins, flowing water spins, the wind spins and little baseball spins. The laws of physics will declare the habit of spinning objects and the effects of gravitational forces which causes an object to change in trajectory over it's travel distance. The direction of spin on an object dictates its direction of veer and change in direction. Spin this way, it goes this way. Spin that way, it goes that way. How do I know which way it's spinning ? The best I can tell you is that you will learn as a baseball player. The Baseball Journal may have you spinning from time to time. No spin and other physical forces take over and control the trajectory. Getting a little complicated, is it? Well! How about that? I never really considered little ole baseball was so educated as to how it should travel. It's not the ball which needs educationing, it's the ball player who needs the education. It would take me a month of writing to put into words just how the spinning baseball moves about in its travelling. A baseball player, once he determines the changes the ball makes because it spins, will shortly become a master of this flying, spinning, travelling object called a baseball. A ball hit well into the air has to come down. Gravity said so. The spinning ball does not come straight down. It veers to the north, south, east, or west, all because of two things, wind and spin. Stand still and the ball does not come to you. You must go with the flow. A right handed batter hits the ball into the outfield between the left fielder and the center fielder. Which direction does the ball curve? It will curve toward the left field foul line. Yea! Yea! Yea! I did not say you had to believe it but I promise you, if you play the game of baseball you will learn it. July 09, 2006 Bo Jackson one of Auburn University's great ball players and the Pride of McCalla,Alabama again garners an honor. On the occasion of Baseball America's 25th anniversary Bo receives another of his many accolades. Baseball America includes the former Auburn baseball great Bo Jackson among the '25 for 25; which is a collection of individuals deemed by the magazine "who have played a significant role in shaping the game of baseball." Baseball Journal is happy to report this honor being given to The Auburn Great Bo Jackson. This honor for Bo is simply added to his many such recognitions. Being a Heisman Trophy winner in college football, an a two sport athlete playing baseball. Bo Jackson not only played both sports in college where his accomplishments are legendary he continued his super talented quest into both baseball and football stardom as a professsional athlete. The amazing physical feats of this true natural athlete is almost beyond belief. He has truly carried his star athlete accomplishments with dignity and the state of Alabama and Auburn University proudly claim him as part of their legacy. May 2007 Late entry but it is a pleasure to report the two (2) playing greats inducted into Baseballs Hall of Fame for the 2007 class. Cal ripkin Jr. 46, The Baltimore Orioles "Iron Man'" who played in a record 2632 consecutive games. Tony Gwynn, 46, The San Diego Padres All-Star a 15-time chosen leader to play in the prestigeous All-Star Classic. The election of these two stalwarts of the game chosen by the Baseball Writers' Association of America to baseball's Hall of Fame. The voters overwhelmingly rejected nominee Mark McGwire, who posted 583 career homers and was the first to hit 70 home runs in a single season,but has been persistent refusing to address allegations of steroid use.
