RIP Diego 'Chico' Corrales

After a weekend when boxing held the sporting worlds attention only days later it lost one of its best competetitors. Diego Corrales, a former champ was pronounced dead this morning after running his motorcycle into the back of a vehicle and being hit by the vehicle behind him. I'm never really overly sentimental about this kind of stuff, but it's just a waste when a 29 year old is killed because of the inherent risks of riding a motorcycle.

2 Years ago Corrales was the winner of what might have been the best fight I have ever watched. And the 10th round will go down as one of the greatest ever.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
