It’s time for the Royals to honor George Spriggs

Our only alumni The Royals have made some significant moves this spring, inducting Bo Jackson, John Schuerholz and Cedric Tallis into the team’s Hall of Fame. Now that Tallis has been inducted, I’ll need to find a new windmill to tilt at.

The Griffey name is legendary around these parts, and you can rep it now, too

Photo by Daniel Shirey/MLB Photos via The latest from our friends at BreakingT... The name Griffey stretched across the back of Cincinnati Reds uniforms for parts of 21 different seasons. Reds jerseys sporting that name swatted nearly 2200 hits, 281 dingers, 1068 ribbies, and swiped 173 bags in over 2100 games for the club, as both Ken, Sr. and Ken, Jr. mashed their way into the club’s Hall of Fame. One a Hall of Famer in Cooperstown, the other a key cog of a pair of World Series titles and an icon of the Big Red Machine. Both father and son repping the same...
