This Oral History Of The Doug Mirabelli Trade Is Delightful

Let’s go back to 2006, a simpler time when Trot Nixon and Matt Clement roamed the earth.

Jake Arrieta Throws First No-Hitter Of The Season

The Cubs might have to break out the pajamas again, because Jake Arrieta has thrown another no-hitter, blanking the Reds in a 16-0 blowout win on only 119 pitches.

Gerardo Parra Nabs Jay Bruce With A Laserbeam From The Wall

Gerardo Parra’s reputation as a defensive wizard might be a bit out ahead of his actual production since his historic 2013 season, but man, the Rockies outfielder’s still got plenty of highlights in him.

Billy Hamilton's Home Run Trot Was MLB's Fastest
