Lots of beer flowing at the game is a baseball tradition. But SHOULD it be?
How much better could the experience of a baseball game be WITHOUT beer? And how much money can be made cutting off from the beer wagon?
Plus my first Hamstersdam reference from The Wire.

My 2011 Video about Drunks at the ballpark.

John Smoltz has a great case for the Hall of Fame. Hopefully the numbers game won’t push him off.
Meanwhile the best way to see Bonds and Clemens inducted is for them to keep living and a few other people to die off.
It is a life and death episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Orioles fans might be disappointed with their Christmas haul. But guess what? They were last year as well and they got to the ALCS.
The team is already better and the other teams in the AL East are getting worse.
There is reason for the bird on the hat to smile in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is December 25th. HAPPY RICKEY HENDERSON’S BIRTHDAY!
The second best leadoff hitter of his time, Tim Raines, deserves to join Rickey in the Hall of Fame in 2015.

I had to do some last minute shopping for Christmas.
While wandering from store to store in San Jose, I wondered which teams should be doing last minute shopping for themselves regarding James Shields and Max Scherzer.

I swear I am not obsessed with the Padres.
But they ARE having the most interesting off season in baseball. And if they acquire Cole Hamels, it would finally make sense.
It is yet another San Diego episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball Best and worst ballpark renovations. (In light of the one happening at Wrigley.)
— Werner Herzog’s Bear (@wernherzbear) December 20, 2014
The point of a renovation is to keep the memories and connection of an original ballpark intact. 2 have done it wonderfully.
2 others? Not so much.
Hear which ones I picked on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball Now Jimmy Rollins? What do the Phillies have to do? Rebuild from ground up? New management? New ownership? What say you?
— Susan Magee (@PSUMagoo) December 12, 2014
The Phillies had a lot of work to do and they aren’t doing it right so far!
They need to make a major change right now.
And somehow I tied it into the movie Enchanted.

Dick Allen was kept out of the Hall of Fame by a single Veterans Committee vote.

@sullybaseball why do the ‘stros think they need a singular closer? I’m a firm believer in closer by committee.

Buster Olney wants to take a stand on the Hall of Fame vote. Really? Just cast a vote or not. It isn’t a brave stance.
