All in all, 2021 offered optimism for the Boston Red Sox. Very few expected them to be competitive with the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, or Toronto Blue Jays. Even fewer imagined Boston would find itself in the ALCS against the Houston Astros.
The San Francisco Giants came into the season with below-average expectations. With the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres coming into the year as World Series favorites, no one thought the Giants would be anything special.
Rookie outfielder Jose Siri fueled a second-inning scoring parade against the Atlanta Braves in Game 2 of the World Series. This early surge gave the Houston Astros more than enough runs needed for a comfortable lead and eventual win, tying the series at one apiece.
The Pittsburgh Pirates finished 2021 with a 61-101 record. It was their third straight losing season as the rebuild continued.
The Oakland Athletics missed the postseason for the first time in four years. Let’s take a look at their season and hands out a few awards.
The Arizona Diamondbacks tied the Baltimore Orioles for the worst record in baseball. Nevertheless, let’s hand out some awards to put a positive spin on a dismal season.
The Atlanta Braves will meet the Houston Astros in the 117th World Series. Three of our top baseball writers give their keys to victory and drop their predictions.
Like their ‘next-door neighbor,’ the Washington Nationals are a franchise attached to another city. Formerly the Montreal Expos, this franchise has had some great players yet mediocre results on the field. Who makes their All-Time Roster?
Things looked bleak for the eventual NLCS champion Atlanta Braves when All-Star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. tore his ACL on July 10. At the time, the Braves were just 43-44 and couldn’t seem to get out of their own way. Now Cinderella has a date with the Houston Astros in the World Series.
Tied for the worst record in baseball, the Baltimore Orioles did have a few bright spots. Let’s take a look at their 2021 season.
The Halos have been blessed with some of the biggest names in the sport during their first half-century plus. Hence, the exercise of examining the Los Angeles, Anaheim, California Angels all-time 26-man roster.
The Toronto Blue Jays were projected to be contenders as recently as a few seasons ago. No one thought that the projection would be the 2021 season. In a powerhouse division that includes the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, and the Boston Red Sox, the Jays more than held their own. Toronto went 91-71 and even held first place in the AL East at times.
