- So oldschool Goldpanner Bill "Spaceman" Lee won his outing for the indy Brockton Rox this past week and has apparently become, at 63 years of age, the oldest player to win a professional baseball game. It took him only -- wait for it -- 63 pitches in 5 1/3 innings to pick up the victory, and he did not walk a man. Here's one little article on the event.
- In some pro prospect news, former Anchorage Bucs reliever Matt Gorgen has been sent packing to the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. He was a "player to be named later" in the Chad Qualls trade, and was leading the class-A Southern League in saves this year with 22. Matt was previously with Tampa Bay.
- Considering that it's the off-season and things have slowed down a bit, and we've got some time to figure things out before the next season, I'd like to open up the floor to any suggestions or comments about how to improve 49thStateHardball.com. Tell me what you like, tell me what you don't like. Tell me something you'd like to see that I don't do. Tell me something that I do do, that you don't want to see. It can be about the content of the site, the layout, a specific type of article, whatever. One specific idea I've been toying with since, well, the beginning of this site has been moving from a classic blog format to something more like a news-style website as far as the layout and organization is concerned, so any comments in that department would be much appreciated!
