Final Thoughts About the 2025 MLB Postseason
The 2025 MLB Postseason should've been called the Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani Lovefest, because those were the center of attention, selfishly overshadowing other teams who deserved to be highlighted more. There were some teams who truly deserved to be in the playoffs and others who I felt weren't October Ready. The Postseason isn't supposed to be about one specific player or team. Everyone deserves to be acknowledged and recognized for their performances. I blamed and accused MLB and these major networks for being heavily biased towards a single team and player.

Wesley's Favorite Forgotten Texas Rangers Players
2026 will mark 25 years as a Texas Rangers fan for me. Since 2001, I've enjoyed watching many Rangers players by attending my first game in person and on watching them on TV. For the following list, I'll be highlighting a few of my favorite players who you might know by name, either in passing or vaguely, but never heard of them in years. The following are not in any particular order. So, players like Hank Blalock and Yu Darvish will not be on this list, since we're already familiar with them. If you don't see a forgotten Rangers player that you loved on this list or if you have more than one player, please comment down below. Now, on to the list.

Somers Goes the Distance on Senior Night
See Photos at End On Thursday October 9, Somers hosted Eastchester and completely wiped out the Eagles in the first set. So an easy afternoon it appeared to be on Senior Night. But quick work doesn’t align with how much this team likes to play, according to Shari Marrero. “Our favorite thing about volleyball, that’s dragging out every match to five sets,” she joked, and the girl with the game winner was just as funny about why she adamantly called for the deciding set.

West Coast Swing
Coming off the big home win against the New Jersey Devils, which saw a five-point performance, as well as the best defenseman in the league picking up four assists, the Colorado Avalanche headed across the country to Pacific Division territory. First off, some big news broke entering that brief road trip: Martin Necas is staying in Denver. Eight years, $92 million. $11.5M/year cap hit. Necas was traded to the Avs last midseason; the deal that sent Mikko Rantanen to the Hurricanes, who quickly dealt Rantanen to Dallas.

Sean Williams: The Underrated Star of Zimbabwean Cricket. AI-Generated.
When cricket fans talk about modern legends, names like Virat Kohli, Ben Stokes, and Kane Williamson often come up. Yet, quietly and consistently, Zimbabwe’s Sean Williams has carved out a name of his own — not through flashy headlines, but through determination, leadership, and love for the game. His journey reflects the story of Zimbabwean cricket itself — full of challenges, setbacks, and unbreakable spirit.

What Canadian Pride Looks Like for a Dodgers Fan After a Grueling World Series Win Against the Toronto Blue Jays
Canadians love their sports, and with only one MLB franchise, the Toronto Blue Jays have become Canada’s team. Baseball fanatics and casual patriots alike flooded the streets, the sports bars, and Rogers Centre this October to celebrate their team’s first advance to the World Series since their 1993 win against the Philadelphia Phillies. To viewers north of the border, the breakthrough in their 32-year string of losses was not just a success in baseball, but a statement of Canadian unity and perseverance against American teams in an ongoing cultural, national, and even political fight between the two countries. Despite the majority of us feeling this way, what does it mean for a proud Canadian cheering for the Dodgers this year?

Thoughts About the Release of the 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot
Last year, I shared my thoughts about the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. There was a plethora of players that I recognized, and Ichiro was one of them. He eventually got inducted into Cooperstown, making him the first Asian-born player to do so. Major League Baseball recently revealed the candidates for the 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame. Shown above are eight players on the ballot, but two of those players aren't deserving of being on it: Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. It makes me give MLB and the Baseball Hall of Fame committee the huge side-eye. Why these two cheaters, because that's what they were, are on the ballot baffles me. I don't care how good they were as players. We shouldn't praise those who used performance enhancing drugs to gain an advantage and the "Everyone else was doing it, too" excuse doesn't hold up and it's a weak argument. Just because someone took PEDs, doesn't mean that it was right and it's acceptable now. That's why rules regarding the use of performance enhancing drugs exist today. I've said the same thing last year when Alex Rodríguez appeared on the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, but unfortunately, he wasn't selected to be inducted this past July. Baseball fans like me still care about the integrity of the game. There are plenty of players and even managers who were well-respected but still aren't in the Hall. One example being Atlanta Braves great Andruw Jones. I've seen his name pop up a lot in the comment sections of many baseball videos and videos about the Braves. I believe that he should've appeared on this ballot over Bonds and Clemens. Six months ago, Commissioner Rob Manfred lifted the lifetime bans of Pete Rose and 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson, among other players. Both men will be eligible for the Classic Baseball Era Committee as early as December 2027. However, it's not a guarantee that they'll be inducted into Cooperstown. The reaction to this news was mixed.
