“There, but for the grace of God, go I”

We spent a lot of time on this site analyzing Mike Mussina’s career, and if he’d done enough to make Cooperstown. Through it all, while we believe he’s worthy of the honor now, we knew that the voters might have needed another year or two; another twenty wins; another 200 strikeouts.
We wondered if Mussina made [...]

Old-Timers day getting a little…young?

Call me a hater if you must, but when I saw that Mike Mussina was at Old-Timers day at Yankee Stadium, I was a little disappointed.
I know that OTD is supposed to be a celebration of Yankees from the past, and that’s  the problem. Mike Mussina’s not from the “past”. He’s a guy who could [...]

The Class of 2014

We can all look forward to the winter of 2013 when Mussina will again make headlines.  The hall of fame class of 2014 will be debated and analized to a great extent.   The elections will be made public during the first week of Janaury 2014.  It’s going to be an amazing contending class.  The headliners [...]

Moose vs. Maddux: Coming in 2014

Greg Maddux will announce his retirement from professional baseball on Monday.  This means he’ll be on the same ballot as Mussina in 2014.  This is another way of saying Mussina’s chances of being a first ballot guy, which were small anyway, just got a whole lot smaller.
Voters don’t like to vote for more then two [...]

Well played, sir

According to CBSsportsline.com, Mussina knew all year he was going to retire and had made up his mind in January of this year.
How do we feel about the Moose pulling one over on us? I can’t speak for Ryan, but to me, this once again fits Mussina’s personality perfectly. He didn’t want every start to [...]

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over….

Well my friends, the day has arrived. The day we all feared, the day we knew was coming, even if we didn’t want to adimt it.

“As expected, New York Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina has decided to retire, according to a baseball source [...]
