Ten years ago today, my twin sons were born.
So much has happened in baseball in the decade since they arrived. So many amazing names, careers and moments have transpired.
I can only imagine what the next ten will bring.
It is a proud pappa episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Spring Training Games have begun. A change in the baseball schedule can make the Cactus and Grapefruit League games valuable in selecting the All Star Team.

The Anti A-Rod vitriol has got to the point where facts and reality no longer matter.
Meanwhile, should baseball’s schedule be shortened to 154 games? Maybe.

Yoan Moncada is with the Red Sox! I have never seen him play. I don’t know what he looks like. I am not sure I am pronouncing his name correctly. And I don’t care. I love that he is on the Boston Red Sox

What are match ups we can hope for in the 2015 World Series?
An all expansion team World Series? That has never happened before.
A World Series in Seattle? That has eluded history.
Or what about match up between original franchises that we have never seen?

The Dodgers have a shot to win the World Series this year. But will they fix their bullpen? Should they make a big move? Recent World Series winners suggest maybe they shouldn’t.

Newsflash! Pablo Sandoval is not a thin man.
Maybe Red Sox fans should have made a mental note of that before freaking out after Steve Silva of Boston.com posted the picture seen above.
Also, evidently, Yankee fans did not cheer when A-Rod homered in the 2009 post season. Who knew?
That and other surprising facts on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Can you imagine how the 1990s and 2000s would have unfolded had George W. Bush aspired to be the commissioner of baseball while owning the Texas Rangers?
It would have tugged that the very fabric of the universe.

10 years ago, Jason Giambi gave one of the strangest press conferences in baseball history. Even though I am a Red Sox fan, I found the surreal presser to be oddly endearing and sympathetic and made me see Giambi for what he was: A big dumb lovable lug.
Meanwhile today, A-Rod is apologizing to the Yankees, who SHOULD be welcoming him with open arms.
Over in Boston, their outfield is crowded as hell. Don’t worry. Time will sort it out.
East Coast Bias? Maybe for today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Still in Georgia, I turn my attention to Turner Field.
With only a few more seasons left at the “Ted”, the memorable moments on that field are kind of scarce.
Meanwhile the drab “Cookie Cutter” old Fulton County Stadium was the home to the best Atlanta baseball moments and some of the great baseball highlights of all time.
