Baseball has been called the national pastime and rightly so because it stands for the fair play, clean living and good sportsmanship which are our national heritage. That is why it has such a warm place in our hearts.

-Franklin D. Roosevelt, August 5, 1936.

Nolan Arenado's Hitting for Cycle is Commemorated with a Silver and Copper Coin

On June 18 2017 the Colorado Rockies™ Nolan Arenado launched his team to a dramatic victory over the Giants™ with a walkoff home run that also "completed the cycle". This meant that in this one game Nolan Arenado had hit a single, a double, a triple, and a home run. Only four other players have completed a cycle with a walk-off home run, and Arenado was the first to do it while his team was losing.

Steve Moyer's Memorabilia

It doesn't actually seem like it was that long ago, but we lost Steve Moyer four years ago. There's an ongoing auction here that will go to supporting his daughters. If it's the sort of thing you have any interest in, I would encourage you to go take a look.

Mike Trout - Baseball Treasure

Los Angles slugger Mike Trout hit his 200th home run on September 29 2017. He became one of four American league players to reach this milestone before their age-26 season (the others were Alex Rodriguez, Jimmie Foxx, and Mickey Mantle). He also became the fourth and youngest Angel to hit 200 home runs. He would hit a second home run in the eighth inning to help lead the Angels to a comeback victory over Seattle.
