Well, I’m finally back from the SABR 40 convention in Atlanta, where I had a great time visiting the city, the ballpark, and meeting new people. It’s something I most assuredly want to do again next year, and you’ll likely hear about it once or twice in the near future. I’m sorry for the lack […]

Alex Rodriguez finally hit his 600th home run this morning, in the first inning of the Yankees/Blue Jays game off of hurler Shawn Marcum. It was the 46th at-bat since he had hit #599 last week, and, if you had to judge things based off the reaction of the New York media, this might have […]

You’ve probably seen this in a few places now – Facebook, Twitter, etc – but I’m currently in Atlanta for the SABR convention and to present a piece on the career statistics seen in all 50 years of Peanuts strips. I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time now, and I plan on […]

This post may not be all that late, but: I made mention of it the other day, but I’ve been pretty busy this weekpreparing for the SABR conference on Thursday, and the Tater Trot Tracker posts are going to be late because of it. The posts will be brief, as well. Home Run of the […]

Sorry for the lateness of the post today. I made mention of it on Twitter this morning, but I’ve been pretty busy this weekend preparing for the SABR conference on Thursday, and the Tater Trot Tracker posts are going to be late because of it. I expect it’ll be the same deal tomorrow. The posts […]

Home Run of the Day: Brandon Phillips, Cincinnati Reds (Trot Time: 26.31 seconds) [video] For those who don’t know, every time the Brewers hit a home run at Miller Park, Bernie Brewer, the beloved mascot, slides down a yellow curved slide from his porch to the platform below (it used to be into a mug of […]

Home Run of the Day: Nelson Cruz, Texas Rangers (Trot Time: 24.34* seconds) [video] There wasn’t a whole lot of competition for Home Run of the Day yesterday – I guess we’re all still waiting for Alex Rodriguez to slug #600 – but that shouldn’t take anything away from Nelson Cruz. His tenth-inning walkoff blast […]

Home Run of the Day: Matt Joyce, Tampa Bay Rays (Trot Time: 20.73 seconds) [video] Detroit’s Max Scherzer and Tampa Bay’s Matt Garza had dueling no-hitters in the sixth-inning of last night’s game. After a couple of walks and a catcher’s interference, however, Scherzer found himself in a bad situation: bases-loaded with two-outs. If he could […]

Sorry for the delay in the post today. Busy day at work and all that… Home Run of the Day: Felipe Lopez, St. Louis Cardinals (Trot Time: 20.95 seconds) [video] Go-ahead home run in the eleventh inning of the Sunday Night Baseball game against your hated rivals (even if they do stink this year) for Felipe? […]

Home Run of the Day: Brooks Conrad, Atlanta Braves (Trot Time: 25.54 seconds) [video] For the second time this year, Atlanta’s Brooks Conrad walked up to the plate as a pinch-hitter with the bases loaded and, for the second time this year, he cleared the bases with a grand slam. The first grand slam was a […]

Home Run of the Day: Kelly Johnson, Arizona Diamondbacks (Trot Time: 20.72 seconds) [video] So it’s not exactly as shocking as Bengie Molina‘s cycle from earlier this month, but a cycle from the Arizona second-baseman seems worth celebrating. The home run part of the cycle was completed first, as he took the first pitch of the […]

Home Run of the Day: Derek Jeter, New York Yankees (Trot Time: 15.42 seconds) [video] As much as I’d rather put anyone else up here for Home Run of the Day, I don’t think I have much of a choice. Derek Jeter hit an inside-the-park home run in Yankee Stadium – that’s the Home Run of […]
