The 2007 Arquimedez Pozo Awards

Note - These were supposed to go up Friday, but then I was rushing to get to a wedding and forgot. So here they are, late but at least present. Enjoy.

That special time of year is here again - a time when we pause our examination of the game and turn our gaze […]

Pozos Coming Soon

It’s late August, and that means… well, several things, but among them that it’s time once again for everyone’s favorite late-August award honoring weird baseball names (unless there’s another I don’t know about): The Arquimedez Pozo Awards.

As I mentioned last year in the 06 award post, the official date of the Pozos has been set […]

2006 Arquimedez Pozo Awards

The wait is over! Tonight, I’ll present the 2006 Arquimedez Pozo Award for the Best Name in Major League Baseball. The competition this season was the best in recent memory, and I had to leave several excellent candidates on the cutting room floor to make way for our ten finalists and our eventual […]

2006 Pozo Award Announcements

I’ll be out of comission for the next week-plus, as I’ll be off to one of only two states without any MLB-affiliated baseball: Hawaii!

I had been planning to do the 2006 Pozo Awards over this year’s all-star break, but that’s not going to happen. Instead, I’ll announce the final list sometime soon after I […]

Opening Day

My father and I have arrived in lovely, scenic Arlington Texas, after a fairly ridiculous 4 hour plane ride that took 9 hours. Tomorrow, we head over to Ameriquest Field to watch the first game of the Red Sox’ 2006 season; tonight, we hung out in a hotel bar watching the White Sox dismantle […]

WBC Pozos: The Finals

Okay, so not quite midnight. Not that it turned out to matter; neither vote was anything even close to contentious.

Stubby Clapp and Bum Ho Lee handily defeated their competition, moving onto the final round over the heads of Gavin Fingleson and Dirk van Klooster. Here’s the final voting:

Semifinal 1 (26 total votes) Stubby Clapp, […]

The Arquimedez Pozo Award: WBC Edition

The utter inability of Joe Morgan and Jon Miller to pronounce non ‘Smith’ names last night reminded me that the WBC is fertile ground for a Pozo Award; sure, the MVP has been awarded, as has the all-WBC team, but this important issue remains undecided. The Pozo award, for those of you that don’t […]
