This is our third column that documents Mike Mussina factoids we’ve found on Twitter. Previous versions here and here. Every so often a baseball fan or writer will tweet something interesting or insightful about our favourite Pennsylvania native. Sometimes they link to an old column about Moose or a current player accomplishes a feat that…
If you follow us on Twitter (like 600+ wise souls do) you’ll know that we often retweet interesting tidbits about Mike Mussina. If you don’t follow us or don’t use Twitter or can’t keep up with all the content on Twitter (and the repetitive ads that appear in the timeline) this post is for you. These…
It’s hall of fame week! On Sunday, the HOF will welcome four new members to its illustrious membership (though our beloved M. Mussina is not among them…this year). The only hitter in this year’s class is Craig Biggio. Biggio faced off against Mussina for only one game during their long careers. This is due to…
I wanted to post this last month to coincide with the date of the report, but got too busy and forgot about it. Twenty-seven years ago this week Bill Blitzer, a scout for the Chicago Cubs, who covered for the northeast portion of the country, reported back to his bosses about a young Pennsylvanian right-hander…
Twitter’s search function is awesome. It allows you to see what thousands of people around the world are saying about a specific person at any given time. About once every other day I type in “Mussina” and see what the Twitterverse is saying about our favorite player. Here are some highlights from the past two…
I stumbled across a fun tool on espn.com today. It’s called Career Assessments and allows you to project the rest of a player’s career. Now this is obviously meaningless because Mussina retired. But if you are very bored, as I was, you can project Mussina’s career had he chosen to make a run at 300 wins. James…
Merry Christmas Moose fans. And a very happy belated birthday to Mr. Mussina. Our beloved future hall of famer turned 40 back on the 8th of December (soon to be a national holiday on par with the Yule-tide festival now in full swing). Have a safe and festive holiday season from mussinahof.com
…At least that’s what the voting for this year’s AL MVP would have us believe. Mussina recieved 3 points for MVP, 1 more then he did for Cy Young. This is because voters can list 10 people for MVP and only 3 for Cy Young. Moose finished 19th in the voting, his best finish ever…
So this is a debate Illustrious and I had over Mussina’s retirement possibilities. Feel free to chime in with thoughts: Illustrious: I said this on River Ave. Blues (through which I originally found that article): If Moose’s wife is really giving him an ultimatum to retire, then I think she should have to give back…
It’s still too raw to talk about. I cannot believe the Patriots lost that game. I wanted to see perfection so bad. I wanted to be able to tell my sons about it some day. Wanted to look at them and tell them that I saw the greatest team that ever played. I wanted to…
