Welcome to Off the Radar

A little background I've been writing on the internet in some form or fashion for the last eleven years mostly about pro-wrestling. I have always wanted to branch out and write about sports, especially baseball, but could never get fully invested in the idea. I would always either lose interest or have something else take my attention away shortly after I would start writing. I have grown up a fan of baseball and I do feel like I would have enough of a working knowledge of other sports that would allow me to write a clear and descriptive article about even sports I don't pay much attention to. 


A few days ago I was sitting around pondering my daily life and the thought came to mind why not start slow and just work the foundation into place before getting crazy. Either way though this has been something I've wanted to do for a while and think of this as a bit of a test run to see if I can finally get fully invested in writing about sports like I have been invested in writing about wrestling for the last decade. 


Note: 

There will be a bit of a learning curve as writing about sports and writing about pro-wrestling are two totally different things. I tried to figure on a name that was all encompassing and I feel like I found that with Off the Radar Sports. As off the radar will be where we begin for right now until we can make our way forward, but time is on our side.

The Reverse Boycott

 Earlier this year the Oakland Athletics seemingly signed the deal to move to Las Vegas officially ending the teams history in the city of Oakland. However, the move will not happen right away as the new stadium will have to get built first. According to an article in USA Today the stadium took a positive forward take a look at the quote below  "Nevada's state assembly passed a bill Wednesday to provide $380 million in public funding for a $1.5 billion stadium on the Strip, paving the way for the A's to relocate from Oakland ― their home since 1968 ― to Las Vegas." The full article can be found here  The Oakland A's have been the league's most puzzling team for years at this point as it seems like the team doesn't even want to try anymore. The current payroll for the A's is last in all of baseball at $60 million seven million behind the next closest team who is the Orioles who have an excuse. The excuse for the Orioles is that they have the second best...

One Door Closing Another Opening

In previous decades, it was commonplace for a player in pretty any sport to remain with a team his entire career. It was extremely common in baseball especially when it came to star players like Hank Aaron, Mike Schmidt, Mickey Mantle, Chipper Jones, and others. In my opinion, one person that has flown under the radar is Yadier Molina who is a throwback to a bygone era as he has been with the St Louis Cardinals for the last 19 seasons. Last August, Yadi announced that the 2022 season will be his last, commenting "I was thinking about going to Cincinnati and hearing all the boos there, going to Chicago, hearing all the boos there. It’s going to be awesome,” Molina said. “It’s going to be a great time going there and getting the boos.” Yadier has flown under the radar, because he isn't always at the top of the leaderboards or in the running for an MVP. Never been a superstar in terms of the grander scope of baseball, but if you ask the Cardinals players or fans I think the pres...

On this in Sports History

  On this day in 1907, legendary pitcher Walter Johnson would begin his MLB career at 19 years old. His career would span twenty-one years and would lead to a future Hall of  Fame induction. Walter would finish his career with the second most wins in baseball history among starting pitchers behind only Denton "Cy" Young. Walter would be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1936 alongside Cy Young, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and others as members of the first Hall of Fame Class in Cooperstown.  Moving forward a little bit it was on this day in 1921 when eight White Sox players were acquitted after being accused of throwing the 1919 World Series on purpose. This scandal would do massive damage to reputation of baseball and would become known as the Black Sox scandal. The following day all of these players would be served a lifetime ban from baseball including legendary player "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.  Some other interesting notes from this day in sports history. In 1959, PGA ...
