The general manager is one of the most important people in any Major League Baseball organization. The GM builds the roster, makes the trades, hires the manager, oversees scouting and player development, and ultimately answers to ownership for whether the team wins or loses. It is one of just 30 such jobs in the sport, … Read more
It is the rarest individual feat in baseball: a pitcher takes the mound, faces 27 batters, and sends every single one of them back to the dugout. No hits, no walks, no errors, nobody on base, ever. Across nearly 150 years and hundreds of thousands of games, it has happened exactly 24 times. More astronauts … Read more
