The MVP of Yesterday is a easy choice: Adrian Gonzalez, who had 3 HRs and 8 RBIs.
Standings, as always, after the jump.
The MVPs of the weekend?
August 19: Kendall Graveman
August 20: Robbie Ray
August 21: Noah Syndergaard
Standings after the jump, of course.
5-for-5, 2 home runs, 2 doubles. Kris Bryant is the MVP of Yesterday.
Standings, as always, after the jump:
There have plenty of weird finds on eBay of tangentially-related-to-baseball memorabilia. Cy Young’s coffee pot, a Mr. Peanut costume that hung out with Reggie Jackson, Lefty Grove’s tax returns, and, of course, STAN MUSIAL’S WALLET AND IT’S CONTENTS!
And to this, we add another piece of memorabilia that has been touched by a Hall of Famer: a padlock owned by Cy Young!
Yes, for the low price of $149.95 (plus shipping), you can own this padlock that was owned at one point by the winningest pitcher of all time. Of course, you may “need a locksmith to open it,” says the listing, but how can you say no to “a rare piece from the Pitching Legend.” I mean, never mind that it had nothing to do with baseball whatsoever and is probably like countless other padlocks around the world… Cy Young’s fingers touched this thing. And that’s gotta be worth almost 150 dollars, right?
Right?
Anibal Sanchez was brilliant yesterday, taking a no-hitter into the 7th. Of course, the Tigers blew the lead, but Sanchez is still the MVP of Yesterday. Standings after the jump.
Chase Utley’s return to Philly was a great one, as he homered twice (including a grand slam!) and had five RBIs (and a walk) in the Dodgers’ shellacking of the Phillies. Standings, as always, after the jump:
Over at Hall of Very Good, “Wisdom and Links” has finally returned! It looks at the meaning of Olympics baseball. Check it out.
Surprising probably everyone, Chad Green pitched a gem yesterday, so he’s MVP of Yesterday. Standings after the jump.
