About me and this blog:

The aim of this blog is to put a spotlight on players and teams that play the game the "right way" and respect the traditions of the game of baseball. I like guys that hustle, get their uniforms dirty, and give 100% day in and day out. I also realize that many players are great people and will attempt to give due respect for their humanitarian efforts off the field.
