Baseball Player Name of the Week

Pittsburgh Pirate John Wesley Van Benschoten, who, thanks to the Mets, is currently sporting an ERA of 27.00... and who sounds like he could actually have been a literal pirate. Didn't I once read about some fabled sea battle between him and Sir Francis Drake?




Also, here's an extremely promising NotW prospect, via a blog called We Got A Guy There: Oklahoma State's Rebel Ridling.


God, I'd give anything to get him on the same team as Cody Ransom one day.

Baseball Player Name of the Week

Cody Ransom.

Well, that’s just flat-out awesome. Cody Ransom. Ransom will be the Yanks’ third baseman at Scranton this year, and I only hope they let him play while wearing a cowboy hat and a six-shooter as God so obviously intended. In fact, is there some way he can play third base on horseback?


Cody Ransom was born in Mesa, Arizona and actually went to Grand Canyon University. Honest. I'm not even going to look up photos of this guy because it can only be disappointing.
