The Top Designated Hitters…Of My Lifetime
The designated hitter position was introduced into Major League Baseball in 1973. Until 2022 it was only available to American League teams. National League teams could only utilize a designated hitter in away games at an AL team’s stadium during interleague play or in the World Series. Throughout the years we’ve seen a vast array…

The Top Closers…Of My Lifetime

But throughout the years there have been several outliers stationed in left field. Some of the best players in the history of the game called left field home.…

The Top Shortstops…Of My Lifetime
Shortstop is the position that is nearest and dearest to my heart. It is arguably the premier position in baseball. It’s less of an argument that it is the premier position at the lower levels of baseball. It’s pretty standard for the best player or best athlete to play shortstop on most Little League, high…

The Top Third Basemen…Of My Lifetime
The hot corner has been home to a host of heavy hitters and a plethora of premier players who can pick it. But the best of the best could both mine a web gem at third and strike gold with the lumber at the dish. My list of third baseman encapsulates these types of players…
