Playing Baseball
Baseball is a game of skill and for that reason the best athlete is not always the best player. Baseball involves thrilling, pitching, catching, baserunning, fielding, and hitting. If you want to improve in all of these areas and skills then you must practice regularly using drills. Practicing must be fast and include jumping from one drill to the other. A good baseball player must always focus on making the most out of every drill session instead of just ... - Divisional Outlook For July - Al West By : Jay Nault
Although there was a shakeup at the top of the AL West standings during the past 30 days, this is a race that may be too close to call up until and including the final days of the 2006 season. Only four games separate first place from last, and none of the AL West teams have put together that “big streak” and sustained it.
Oakland A’s
Currently:
The A’s took over the top spot in the division during the past few weeks, going 17-10 in the past 30 days. They started the m... - Tips On ESPN Fantasy Baseball By : Joseph Kenny

Have we really gotten past the big market/small market dichotomy that defined baseball for the past 15 - 20 years?

Arizona Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks have taken the lead in the NL West due to their strong month, pos... - Practice Is What It Takes To Become A Complete Baseball Player. By : Robert Michael
Baseball is primarily a game of skill and therefore the best athlete doesn't always make the best baseball player. This is especially true if they don’t have the skills needed to be a complete player. Baseball is a game of pitching, catching, base running, throwing, and hitting. If you want to improve in these areas you must practice, practice, practice. It can be particularly helpful to practice very quickly going from one drill to the other. But you must stay focused on get... - Barry Bond, Steroids and Major League Baseball By : David Maillie

Well, we’re looking like geniuses based on our last report on this division. It’s still more than the traditional two-horse race, as the Red Sox and Yankees have a party-crasher still hanging on to hopes of a division title in the form of the Toronto Blue Jays. Although the standings are the same as last month, there have been more than a few twists and turns since we last visited the AL East, and it still looks like any of the top three teams could emerge as the champ come O... - Divisional Outlook For June - Al West By : Jay Nault
Form held in the standings over the past month in the AL West as each team looked to make a move before heading into the “Dog Days” of summer.

It is often difficult to compare the legendary players of Major League Baseball in that by making comparisons based on statistics, the focus generally falls on the sheer performance on the field.

Other players, no matter how individually successful, are too often viewed in an also-ran status because of the per... - The Babe Ruth Story - The Fierce Rivalry Of The Red Sox And The Yankees By : FR Penn

The AL West is shaping up as a division that will come down to the wire. Every team is lumped together in the standings, as the separation between first and last place as of this writing is only 5.5 games. None of the teams have been extremely hot lately, and everyone sits near .500 for the season. As of now, this race is way too early to call, and this will probably be the case throughout the season. It’s going to be a very interesting season in this division.
