There have been a lot of huge home runs hit in the postseason, some more famous than others. This week’s Friday Stuff edition is about some of the less famous ones that deserve their share of love. Friday Stuff, by @pdubinkc

A lot of players lost time to service in World War II, but few stars lost a shot at the Hall of Fame. Washington Nationals shortstop Cecil Travis was one of the unlucky ones. Baseball Remembers: Cecil Travis, by @pdubinkc

Remember bunting? We don’t see it much anymore, but it used to be a big part of the game. Even our greatest sluggers would do it, and apparently Starting Lineup wanted us to never forget that. Forgotten Treasures: Bunting Griffey, by @pdubinkc

Fox Sports decided to publish an all-time team for the National League. That should have been a fun little exercise, but unfortunately they seem to have mostly forgotten that the league has existed for 150 years. Fox Sports' NL Dream Team, by @pdubinkc

In 1981 baseball had its first mid-season work stoppage and a third of the season was wiped out. Then the powers that be somehow managed to make the situation even worse. The Split Division Titles of 1981, by @pdubinkc

Look at this ahistorical crock.
Steve Garvey is not in the baseball hall of fame for one reason. He’s a conservative politician. He’s a ten time all star, and hit .338 in the postseason. These writers need to get over themselves. He should have been in years ago.

We’ve got managers being hired, fired, born, or passing away, some who got too much credit for winning and some who didn’t get enough. It’s all packed into the managerial comings and goings edition of Friday Stuff. Friday Stuff, by @pdubinkc

Today’s post is free to all, and I hope you’ll forgive the fact that it has nothing to do with baseball. It’s about McDonald’s, of all places, and a guy named Eugene, and basic human kindness. Personal Milk, by @pdubinkc

Roy White had an anonymous name and a pretty anonymous career because he was good at many things but not great at any. The exception was his defense, which, like his overall career, deserved more attention. First Gloves: Roy White, by @pdubinkc

If you’re a ballplayer and a living legend like Connie Mack calls, you go, no questions asked. Even when you’re already a local legend in your hometown, like Joe Pate was. Late Bloomers: Joe Pate, by @pdubinkc
