The Last Hurrah
Bumbry and Singleton, in particular, had worked hard to come back from injury-plagued campaigns in ’82. As soon as January arrived, the pitching staff began throwing under the supervision of bullpen coach Elrod Hendricks in the tunnels beneath Memorial Stadium. In fact, for the first time in a decade, the notorious slow-starting Birds got off to a winning record in April.
Then, the typical ups and downs of a 162-game baseball season arrived. Palmer spent much of the season out of commission. Mike Flanagan, who’d won the Cy Young in 1979, had gotten off to a 6-0 start, but was lost for a long period due to injury. Dennis Martinez, who had won 16 the year before, struggled all season. Star reliever Tippy Martinez missed three weeks with appendicitis. Ford, hitting .281 in mid-June, missed 25 games with an inflamed knee injury. Twice, they lost seven games in a row. None of it mattered—they battled back through it all.
Twenty-one-year-old Storm Davis, among others, rose to the occasion, logging 200 innings and going 13-7. Ultimately, it was two guys not with the team at the start of the season who solidified the pitching staff and defense. Boddicker won 16 games after joining the team in May.

The best MLB player from every country & territory
February 15th, 2023
Baseball may be America's pastime, but its popularity spans the globe. Fifty-seven countries and territories have provided at least one Major League player throughout the history of the game.
So let's rank them, from most to least populous by MLB standards. Let's also put a little spotlight on the bWAR leader from each part of the world. Ties are broken alphabetically.
There are just a few notes before we jump in:
- Territories are listed independently.
- There are 922 players in the Baseball-Reference database who have an unknown birthplace. They are obviously not included.
- A quick, special recognition of Ed Porray, who pitched three games for the Buffalo Buffeds of the Federal League in 1914. He was raised in the U.S. but birthed on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. As such, he is the only MLB player whose official country of origin is displayed as "At Sea."
1) United States: 18,902 players (277 HOFers)
WAR leader: Babe Ruth (183.1)
Before anything was described as "Ruthian" or anyone was lauded as "The Babe Ruth of" their respective field, the Babe Ruth was one of the most legendary figures in 20th-century America.
