I wonder how relative payroll spending across the two leagues effects the inter-league record? Maybe in aggregate, but surely not for Minn. and K.C. this...
While doing research online about Ty Cobb, I came across this entry. For those that were at the Hornsby winter meeting in San Marcos in January, it should...

Chuck-     I watched the game on TV. Cooper would have made a fool of himself if he had argued the play at second base. Loretta wasn't close to the...
What did the announcers say about Brocail. We didn't have television at our seats. I look forward to seeing Castro at RR. I think he's going to be a good...
Indeed, it is a story attributed to Falk, who liked to show his Longhorn players how to hit by stroking line drive after line drive. Bibb was in his 60's and...

I agree that the AL team wise and all is above the NL, but I do think the NL has better players. The NL has many more stars and exciting young players. The AL...
Jan, Brian, all: It seems to me that two of the keys to the AL's current dominance are: a - Payroll. That $14M differential over the average NL team has to...
