A blog analyzing Major League Baseball through the lens of Astrology
Welcome to Astrology Baseball, a project where I arrange MLB players into teams based on their astrological signs, and then pit those teams against each other in mock fantasy seasons.
WBC 2023 Japan
Japan’s victory in the 2023 World Baseball Classic showcased the number one reason to be excited about Cancer Crabs baseball: two-way superstar and tournament MVP Shohei Ohtani. It’s rare that a player so completely captures the hearts and minds of baseball fans like Ohtani has, and I’m extra excited that he shares an astrological sign with your humble narrator.
WBC 2023 Venezuela
When Taurus second baseman Jose Altuve suffered a fractured thumb from a hit-by-pitch in the World Baseball Classic, broadcaster John Smoltz was quick to defend the tournament. “He would have been at Spring Training, and do you know how many players get hurt in Spring Training? A lot!”
WBC 2023 Dominican Republic
In my last post, I asserted that Team USA had the most star-studded roster in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. I would argue that the Dominican Republic comes in second, despite the fact that they didn’t make it past the Pool Play stage of the tournament.
WBC 2023 Team USA
The World Baseball Classic is moving into the Quarterfinal Stage, with the best talent from around the world representing their countries of origin! With Team USA advancing to the next round of the WBC, I’m looking at the astrological implications of the tournament’s most star-studded roster.
