     Baseball has been a huge part of my life since I was little. I started playing baseball in little league and played up until I was a junior in high school. I've also been a very big fan of the Chicago cubs for as long as I can remember. Over the past months I have written a variety of different blog posts and pages on various baseball related topics. I'd like to use this post to highlight a few of my posts and pages that I wrote which I think are the most important or most fun to read.      The first post of many posts that I want to bring to light more is my "White Sox Have Set the MLB Record for Most Losses in a Season" post. This post highlighted several key factors about this year's Sox season like:         - How the White Sox only won 41 of 162 games         - How the White Sox managed to beat the previous loss record of 120 losses set by the Mets         - Wha...

     In baseball, equipment arguably plays the key role in sport. It allows baseball players to succeed at what they do and plays a crucial role in both performance and safety. Baseball helmets and gloves stand out for me for their distinct but critical functions. The question is, however, which is more important?     First, I'll dive into the argument for helmets being the more important piece of baseball equipment.

A direct hit to the head of a batter with a ball going this fast could cause severe trauma to the head, significant brain damage, or even death. Helmets are essential for protecting the batters' heads and preventing these types of serious head injuries.      Helmets aren't just important for batters that have to face fast pitches, but they also protect the heads of any baserunners that are on base. In recent years,...

     Baseball has been around for a long time, making it an easily recognizable game with distinct rules. What if you were to add an additional rule that would change the very fabric of the game? I'm referring to having the baseball players continuously rotate positions every inning.      If baseball players had to continuously rotate positions throughout the game, it would completely transform the sport in fascinating ways. Not only would it add layers of strategy, skill requirements, and excitement, but it would alter the game tremendously making it unpredictable.      Having players rotate positions would increase the emphasis on versatility. Baseball players would need to be skilled in multiple positions. The teams would start to prioritize the concept of versatility more than ever before, favoring athletes who can do well in various positions both in the infield and outfield. Players that can do it all would become essential, and scout...
