If a playoff contender picks up Zack Greinke, would they then have what it takes to beat the Phils?


















I mean, what better way to beat 4 Aces than a Royal Flush?


depends on the contender
and who is on his no trade list (Yanks and RedSox on it for sure).

he's had some anxiety problems, and isn't real interested in being in a big market. conversely, some of the big teams are shying away from him as well.

On this day in sports history in....



FWIW, $167,000.00 in 1973 had the same buying power as $929,404.12 in 2016.

The Major League minimum salary will increase from $507,500 in 2016 to: $535,000 in 2017; $545,000 in 2018; $555,000 in 2019; and be subject to a cost-of-living adjustment in 2020 and 2021.

This actually happened.....

One of the most famous photos of you is when you wore that wig. Whatever happened to that wig?

I have no idea. Larry Andersen might still have it. I doubt if he does, that’s 1985. So that’s over 30 years ago.

Mike Schmidt appears on the field wearing a long hair wig and dark glasses at the start of a game vs. the Chicago Cubs in Philadelphia on July 2, 1985 in an attempt to hide from the fans.

Probably could use a good cleaning…

Yeah, I imagine it’s disintegrated. I don’t know where that wig is but yeah, that wig saved me one night. We were expected a pretty rough night when they introduced the club. Back then, that year, they introduced the club by position … and you ran out to the position when you were introduced. I was playing first base that night. They did that every game for a few years back then. I was playing first base at the end of that year, the last half of 1985. We had a game that started the whole thing, a rain-delayed game that went way into the night. It seemed like there were only a 100 people left in the stands when it ended and I had a bad game. We lost the game. A lot of kids hanging over the dugout, yelling obscenities and things that weren’t too pleasant to us. I said something about the Philly fans – I lumped the Philly fans (together). And it was a very small percentage (that night) and I lumped them all together. [Laughs] The word got out the next day and no one wanted to stand next to me. So after batting practice, we were all talking about it in the clubhouse, trying to figure out a way where I could diffuse the negatives that were about to happen and it was a big crowd that night, we were playing the Cubs. So I put the sunglasses on, the wig, and the hat and ran out to first base. It sort of stunned the crowd and turned into cheers rather than boos.
