Ozzie's Auction

I read about this several months ago and I seem to recall Ozzie saying he was selling now rather than waiting for his kids to do it. Not sure about the rationale; I don't think he needs the money.

The auction closes in a few days. It includes all Ozzie's All Star rings and World Series rings, including those presented to him by the Cards for the 2004, 2006, and 2011 series. Bids for those exceed $20K; AS rings are going a lot cheaper and some haven't received the minimum bid.

Ozzie's career set of 13 consecutive NL gold gloves brought $519,203. Wow!

Two items which apparently weren't included in the auction were his 1982 World Series Championship ring and his 1987 NL Championship ring. He did auction off his 1985 NL Championship ring ($37,610) and the World Championship rings from the 2006 ($42,448) and 2011 ($51,364) World Series which were provided to some former Cardinals players.

Also among the lots sold was Ozzie's personal copy of a Brooks Robinson statue, for $2,886.

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
