  • It is Gunnar Henderson’s Time to Prove

    Gunnar Henderson is a former 2019 second-round, 42nd overall pick out of Alabama. He has the five-star making tools of an everyday shortstop.

    He has recently come out and said that Henderson will be participating in his first-ever Team USA World Baseball Classic which seems to get better by the year. Last time, it came down to the final out between Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani.

    Trout, as ruthlessly hard he worked, struck out in the waning seconds of the 2023 World Baseball Classic, between Japan. This year is a new collection of talent other than Trout.

    Henderson has grown leaps and bounds by becoming AL Rookie of the Year and 2024 MLB All-Star. Last year, was not so much the Baltimore Oriole’s year and how could they be blamed with the reconstruction of Camden Yards, Corbin Burnes, and injuries.

    (I really feel like Burnes was the devil of all stingers).

    But, look what Baltimore did to set themselves up for 2026, ‘27, ‘28. They acquired Shane Baz!

    Baz is the type of leader with a high-enough ceiling to his resume to catapult— the Orioles successes at sealing or delivering. Baz adds to the starting rotation of Trevor Rodgers and Kyle Bradish to vigorously compete with his average pitching velocities tapping out to league averages.

    Most of all, eyes will be on Gunnar Henderson to prove what he is capable of March and into three years under team control.

    Did you know? Tom Brady did not start his freshman year of high school football.

  • Philly Kingdom is Cancelled

    Philly Kingdom will be cancelled for the foreseeable future. I would like to thank Michael Mani for taking the time and cooperation.

    As for Philly Kingdom, i hope people enjoyed it. However, it is safe to say sports is always at the heart of it all and I will still air here and YouTube.

  • Audi Crooks Chasing History

    Audi Crooks is chasing history as a 6-foot-3 center out of Iowa State. She has the potential to do wonders.

    She is a 2025-All American that recently tied Caitlin Clark’s Iowa record for 37+ points accounted four times in a single season. She has been working with two penetrating scorers on Iowa State’s offense and shooting the ball back up.

    There is no proper back up for Crooks. She currently leads the nation in scoring and has scored in double figures 79 consecutive times.

    Crooks deserves merit to her credit as she continues to lead Iowa St. 10th in the nation.

  • Remembering Greg Biffle

    Greg Biffle, one of NASCAR’s 75 greatest drivers, passed away Thursday in a plane crash. It was not immediately known why the plane crashed.

    Best known for his No.16 Ford, Biffle started his career winning the 2000 Truck and 2002 Xfinity series. After winning the Homestewd series three times, he would go down to eventual favorite Tony Stewart.

    No matter what, Biffle went down as a two-time NASCAR series champion with 19 career wins. Even off the race track, he would aid to the North Carolina hurricane relief effort and give back to those that suffered.

  • Buy or Sell: Adolis Garcia

    Adolis Garcia, last season, batted .227, 19 home runs and 75 RBI. It was a go-figure after missing back-to-back World Series with Bruce Bochy.

    Although, Garcia was a primed hitter once in his career and grew a huge impact in Texas. Garcia is now a Philadelphia Phillie and what is the main reason?

    Less cash? Better defense? Hopes he outwits Nick Castellanos?

    None of that matters. What does is his ability to play the everyday position or compete highly with prospect Justin Crawford. Crawford hit a record best .863 OPS in the minors last year.

    Season odds are he will win out the position and finally put this distaste to a restful end in right field. He will have a chance to work with the 40-man roster in spring training to decide the outcome.

  • Edmonton Oilers Acquire Tristan Jarry

    The Edmonton Oilers have acquired Tristan Jarry for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second round pick.

    Jarry returns to his home country as he, also, played for the CHL Edmonton Oil Kings and led them to the Memorial Cup. He is off to a fantastic start this season.

    Jarry has a 9-3-1 record to go with 2.66 GAA and .909% save percentage (top-15). This deal makes absolute sense for the Pittsburgh Penguins since Kyle Dubas managed to extend Jarry inadvertently.

    Much can be said for the consignment of where this leads. The Oilers are off its worst start since entering the Stanley Cup race and they need Jarry more than Skinner right now.

  • The Mets Must Deliver on Kyle Tucker

    Have you ever heard of the movie: John Tucker must die? Well, the Mets must deliver on Kyle Tucker to sign a hefty contract.

    They just lost Pete Alonso to the Baltimore Orioles and for what? Because they did not offer Alonso a contract.

    As reported by Ken Rosenthal, the Baltimore Orioles have acquired not only Alonso’s services, but Taylor Ward and Ryan Helsley. This will definitively add more power to the Orioles lineup and strike up pitching.

    The Mets are the most important subject. They have a chance to add speed and power, too, in Tucker. Tucker is a former World Series winner, who knows how to play in tough, critical situations.

    He did not play to his absolute best last season. It did not matter. What mattered was his ability to return from injury and still do average under the conditions in Chicago.

    With Juan Soto, they can put to rest some of the clubhouse tension between Alonso and the team last year and sign a nice payday by owner Steve Cohen.
