Blue-Collar Baseball
http://blue-collarbaseball.blogspot.com/
The aim of this blog is to put a spotlight on players and teams that play the game the "right way". I like guys and hustle and give 100% day in and day out. This blog will often focus on the unsung heroes of baseball, not the high-paid superstars. I also realize that many great players are also great people, and will attempt to give due respect for their humanitarian efforts off the field.
