Going to the Cubs Hall of Fame is Kerry Wood. Additionally, the former Chicago pitcher received unique information regarding the honour.
Unaware of their purpose, Wood and former Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramírez stood near the stage during last week’s Cubs Convention. Subsequently, the tones of their kids, Aramis Ramírez Jr. and Justin Wood, appeared on a video declaring that the two athletes would be honoured with inductions into the Cubs Hall of Fame this summer.
According to Wood, “I was so caught off guard,” the Twin Cities Pioneer Press said. “You’re trying to compose it before you go out (on stage) and then you start hearing your son’s voice as you’re watching the video,” the speaker said.
Wood played in the major leagues for 14 seasons, the most of them were spent with Chicago, though he also had stints with the Yankees and Cleveland. In 24 relief appearances for New York in 2010, he went 2-0.
With 63 saves, a 3.67 ERA, and an 86-75 career record, Wood, 46, concluded his career. He was a two-time All-Star and had more over 200 strikeouts in four of his first five seasons. After battling injuries (he was placed on the disabled list 14 times during his career), he made the switch to a relief position in 2007.
The Mets could challenge the Yankees for a bullpen weapon.
Juan Soto of the Yankees is not perfect. According to a coach and Jason Dominguez’s rehab partner with the Yankees, here’s the fix: Martian is expected to start throwing next month and hit in March.
MLB Insider claims that the Yankees cheater’s rising Hall of Fame vote is a “nutty” double standard.
Former Yankees pitcher who returned to MLB last year signed with the Twins
Since I don’t have any significant Cody Bellinger news to report to you today, I figured I’d use this piece as a kind of all-purpose catch-all for a few items.
Firstly, I apologise for the confusion caused by my error in Thursday’s jersey poll. It is being repeated again, with the absent players added and Miguel Amaya deleted because he received no votes in the prior version.
Second, I wanted to briefly discuss the recently disclosed plans for the South Loop White Sox ballpark. It was mentioned by Ashley in today’s Outside The Confines. An story on it from the Chicago Sun-Times is available here. From the article, we now know the following:
The Chicago Sun-Times was informed by “serious” sources familiar with the talks that they are in the process of negotiating a baseball-only stadium. All of these sources spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Frank Bilecki, CEO of the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, the government organisation that owns and finances Guaranteed Rate Field, states that the authority has not participated in the talks. The stadium authority would eventually have to decide what would happen to Guaranteed Rate Field and, if it were publicly funded, perhaps even build a new ballpark.
Oh, please. The parking lots south of Soldier Field are the property that Warren is referring to. That venue, Soldier Field, has problems as well; getting there is somewhat challenging. To be honest, the Bears need to just construct on the Arlington Heights land they acquired for over $200 million. For what they have in mind, that is the ideal place.
