Here are the official position difficulty rankings: 9. DH No fielding means no difficulty. 8. RF Only lefties hit it to right field, and it’s pretty easy when they do. Unless the player is Nicholas Castellanos, this position is a cake walk. 7. 1B All you do you catch the ball, and once or twice…

Should Joe Jackson be in the Hall of Fame?
I recently wrote an article reviewing Field of Dreams, so that got me thinking. Should Shoeless Joe be in the hall of fame? The first thing to know is that he only got 1.0% of the vote in 1946. Obviously, baseball was still scarred from what he allegedly did. But if you just look at…
