It's hunting season again in my small mid-western town, and around this time of the year we usually have several athletes who come to the area to hunt. Former major league catcher Charlie O'Brien usually organizes some kind of autograph session every year during this period as a fundraiser for local athletics. This year they had Wayne Krenchicki, Boo Weekley, Jake Peavy , and of course Charlie O'Brien....
I haven’t watched an episode of “American Chopper” since college a few years back. (Wasn’t it awesome when you slept till noon everyday and watched pointless TV all afternoon because you had nothing better to do besides drink and do it all over again the next day') Anyway, the basic premise of the show remains: the [...]
AP Photo/Jim Prisching While Sox fans didn't get another World Series trophy to polish and use to incur the jealousy of Cubs fans, one thing they can be thankful for is having one of the season's most memorable moments: Mark Buehrle's perfect game. (Aside: a moment within that moment has to be Wise's a-MAY-zing catch to maintain the perfect game.) And if you missed it the first time around, CSN is...
As nice as Mark Buehrle's perfect game earlier this year was, it doesn't quite measure up to one of the craziest athletic achievements: pitcher Dock Ellis throwing a no-hitter while tripping on LSD . No Mas and artist James Blagden have animated the story, set to Ellis' own words from a radio interview he did before he died last year. It's amazing. Thanks to our own Lauri Apple for passing this along....
Mark Buehrle, who is the 30-year old pitcher for the Chicago White Sox team, has had an amazing year so far in 2009. And now it appears that it has been made even better, when it was announced that he had been awarded his first Gold Glove of his career. And according to nbcchicago.com, it has [...]

AP Photo/Jim Prisching Maybe the entire season didn't quite play out how ace Mark Buehrle and the Chicago White Sox had wanted, but it wasn't too shabby for Buehrle. He finished the season with 33 starts, a 13-10 record with a 3.84 ERA, and one complete game. Of course, that one complete game was kind of a big deal : the Sox first perfect game since 1922. And now Buehrle has some nice hardware to...
Buehrle has gained a strong reputation around the league because of his ability to field his position and succeed without an overpowering fastball. Buehrle joins left-hander Jim Kaat (1974-75) as the only Sox pitchers to win Gold Glove awards.Despite his fielding prowess, Buehrle has seen the likes of Kenny Rogers and Mike Mussina, whom each have since retired, win eight of the past nine AL Gold Glove...
Derek Jeter has won his fourth Gold Glove at shortstop, joining New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira among the American League players honored for fielding excellence. Los Angeles Angels center fielder Torii Hunter and Seattle right fielder Ichiro Suzuki both won for the ninth straight year. First-time winners Tuesday included Rays third baseman Evan Longoria, Baltimore outfielder Adam Jones...

Mark Buehrle Wins Gold Glove But on Tuesday, Buehrle officially captured an award he had coveted since becoming a member of the South Siders' rotation in 2001.
