In order to pay off a debt he owed to a Reds teammate, Ken Griffey Jr. saved & scrounged every penny he could find - and stuffed 60 boxes of the loose change into the guy’s locker.

Texas Gal (sole proprietor of OUT IN CENTER FIELD) and her crack team of commenters have recorded the single most important team-building exercise to occur on the field all season.

Phil Mushnick of the NEW YORK POST has some of the latest, priceless memorabilia being belched out offered by the fine folks at Steiner Sports.

“2005 Opening Day Batter’s Box Dirt Collage” for $120 (call me cynical, but the dirt looks suspiciously similar to 2006 Opening Day batter’s box dirt). Ian Kennedy’s “Yankees New York Yankees […]
