Moxie Legion Baseball
By Travis 
After much urging by this site’s moderators combined with my future change of employment, I’ve finally joined the Loge Level. The hope is there will be periodic Major League Baseball perspective and mostly fantasy baseball input and minor league/draft prospect updates. Not that I’m an expert, but I’ve been told the site is lacking in hardball tidbits.
So, I’ll dedicate this blog to the Splendid Splinter, the greatest hitter ever even if fantasy baseball was still decades away from its creation while Teddy Ballgame was in his heyday. More importantly, there may have never been a greater endorsement sales pitch than The Kid’s order: “Drink Moxie,” because Ted Williams said so. Nevermind what Moxie is or, more appropriately, was.
Hopefully we can provide analysis on the importance of OPS, the relative declines or immergences of particular players. In the coming days, I’ll discuss the possibility of the New York Yankees (or MFY as they’ll be referred to from here on out) catching the Boston Red Sox in the American League East. The MFY have trimmed seven games off the divisional lead in less than three weeks, and the crux of the evaluation will be Bill James’ Pythagorean Winning Percentage, which is essentially the expected Win/Loss record for a team based on its runs scored vs. runs allowed.
But I’ll try to keep the Red Sox-MFY hysteria to a minimum. This won’t be a lovefest for Moxie Legion’s favorite team or a grinding axe of its most hated rival. Instead, it will be a broad scope of both the Senior and Junior Circuits. When it’s appropriate, there’ll be no hesitation to delve into some other interests: Kentucky basketball, recruiting, The Office, horse racing and Cincinnati-style chili.
I’ll try and leave the footballer analysis to A4H and Status Quo.
