His Name is Alec Bohm
It all starts with third baseman’s name, Alec Bohm, of the National League, Philadelphia Phillies. He does reside from Omaha, Nebraska but, also loves the city of Philly with his new girlfriend, Erin Dolan.
The city smells so much whether it is Jalen Hurts’ ringing and wearing a newly brand and worn Super Bowl ring with Chicago Bulls legend, Michael Jordan. Or, the touch of saying I dislike this city to do nothing and redeem himself with impressive numbers from the start of 2024 until now.
Bohm has put together a likable, impressive stat sheet with .283 AVG, 6 HR, and 72 hits. That is very impressive. It is cunning to understand the nature of Bohm. Somedays he looks like an All-Star from the previous year or understands the game unlike any of the online critics.
Bohm has reduced the amount of errors this year and looks poised to be a better fielder entering his prime. It remains to be seen how he will fare hitting wise but so far Bohm has not let up.
He has consistently hit grounders into the outfield assuming, a base hit, and growing. He can certainly continue to grow. It is just a matter of time before Bohm extends his bat for home run opportunities.

Why Paul Skenes is Problematic
Paul Skenes is extremely talented. He is known to some to be the next Rodger Clemens based off polarity. What is defining or characterizing is his team background.
He does not like ownership and makes that evidently clear. And, also, what is the deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates teammates?
They are not rallying behind Skenes sometimes and that is a problem despite the fact. He is an adept fastball pitcher.
It is interesting to note that Skenes is talented and social media sometimes affect the outcome of baseball games. Well, Skenes was present to an extent this off-season with his girlfriend Olivia Dunne and I think it has a tendency to do with the Pirates 15-29 start.
Something has to be said for this uncalled milieu. Skenes is better than and he knows it. I think the Pirates will trade him because of the depth he brings and riddance of a tremendous woman’s gymnastics athlete who has crossed sports to baseball social media and the cleated shoes of former top prospect, Skenes.

Baseball Got it Right with Pete Rose
It took a while but MLB has now officially lifted the ban of Pete Rose and we can all rejoice. Rose was an integral part of the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies and throughout that time, he served the bravery of three World championships, 17-time all-star selections, and 1973 NL MVP.
He was a classic to watch as the committee also reinstated shoeless Joe Jackson from further ago and leaves question to the Hall of Fame eligibility of Rose. Just how many roses will the termed ‘hit king’ receive now, deceased?
It is unfortunate that is the case but it will first take five to prove all the naysayers including ESPN’s lead contributor Tim Kurkjian who came out ruthlessly about the United States president intervention with Rose’s reinstatement.
There are people within the game simply upset about Article 21 but at the end of the day. It is about accolades in any sport and even though gambling should not be permitted at all. There should not be disrespect at all for a former player/manager such as Rose who was a joy to spectate.

Greatness has Gotten in the Way of Ohtani
As we enter a new dawn of an era with the likes of Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, and others aligning the stars in MLB. One, favorably has always attributed to mind and that is Shohei Ohtani. A 50/50 champ himself is reigning in is in one what is his second season with Los Angeles Dodgers after firstly safely winning the 2024 World Series.
The scope of it is Ohtani is not stopping and does not intend on stopping but if it were to be said that like many players in most recent past, selfishly cheated? ESPN Sports Reporters were talking highly in-depth on New Year’s Day about the jeopardy that Ohtani might have sustained after the interpreter incident.
And after turning the page to 2025. There is something to be said to MLB fans globally and commissioner Rob Manfred.
Ohtani deserves further investigation and possible punishment for how sloppy of a con act this truly is. Why would a cheap interpreter or store clerk for example even want to mess around with Ohtani’s legal team and expose such stupidity.
Ohtani and his wife announced their first child. Yay! How about announcing to the world anything else such as your pets, uncles, aunts, etc. Ohtani could be a theft but nonetheless is a tremendous baseball player.

Breaking: New York Mets Sign Juan Soto
Soto is a Met. It is official. According to Jon Heyman, the deal is 15 years, $765 million. After an action packed day of NFL football and forgoing the wait of the MLB Winter Meetings down in Dallas, TX, Soto decided to jump the move and sign with the New York Mets.
It is historic as it marks a record high compared to the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, and others.
The Mets made a quick turnaround last midway through and who knows what they will be able to accomplish next year in the NL East division but they won and captured the most prized free agent and that was Soto.
