Roy White averaged over 5 WAR per year for Yankees from 1968-1972 when team was a shade over .500. Why isn’t he loved as much as Mattingly?

@sullybaseball white was by far the best player on teams that didn’t have a lot of other talent. Very similar to Mattingly. — High Heat Stats MLB (@HighHeatStats) August 15, 2014
It is an interesting comparison but one that stats can’t quantify. Love cant be dictated solely by numbers.
It is an emotion and logic episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The blackout rules continue to shutout fans from enjoying baseball, never a smart business model.
Meanwhile the Giants should consider a strange suggestion I have about Barry Bonds.
That and my plea to ESPN to stop showing Red Sox and Yankees games in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I woke up this morning by a text from my Red Sox loving friend Kenny Mack that Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes were dealt to the A’s for Yoenis Cespedes.
Good morning.
Kenny and I discussed the move and the legacies of both teams. We sometimes got off topic.

@sullybaseball Rumors about Lester to Dodgers, do you think Red Sox should move him?
— Jim Furlong (@EWOKinLA) July 24, 2014
Jon Lester will probably not be a member of the 2015 Boston Red Sox. We all know that. So how should the Red Sox prepare for it?
And how will Red Sox fans react to Lester as a member of the Yankees NEXT year?

Every MLB ASG Going Fwd Should Have A Tribute To Those Fallen In Previous Year: A Comment On Sully Baseball’s Blog
Paul Sullivan’s Follow @sullybaseball brilliant tribute video – They should hire him to do one of these every year!
MLB Reports Lead Personality ‘Sully’ did a fantastic job of writing an article about the way FOX did not give any acknowledgement towards Tony Gwynn during Tuesday’s ALL – Star Game on a post for his own website. I was going to write a similar article, but he nailed it perfectly, and you should read it here
My 2 cents:
The MLB has had several baseball men die in the last year: Ralph Kiner, Tony Gwynn, Bob Welch, Don Zimmer, Jim Fregosi, Jerry Coleman, and former executive (MLBPA president) Michael Weiner.
I think it would be a great job by baseball – if they were to add a segment to the ALL – Star Game, in which they pay homage to the heroes of yesteryear. Read the rest of this entry
