Few articles published by SABR over the past half-century were not improved by Len Levin’s eagle eyes. He brought his experience as a journalist and teacher to the baseball research community and made an outsized impact. He died at 95 on Monday.

“I just had a certain feeling Barry had a better chance in that situation.” My latest for the SABR Games Project remembers a Pirates-Cubs game that began 40 years ago in April, ended in August, and resulted in an oddity on Barry Bonds’ Baseball-Reference page.

Obituary: Bill Mazeroski (1936-2026)
Even if Bill Mazeroski had never played in the postseason, he deservedly would be remembered as one of the greatest defensive second basemen ever. It just so happened that this fielding whiz also hit the most dramatic home run in World Series history -- the only one to walk off a Game Seven. He has…

The Dave Giusti story is about more than a great 1970s closer. It's about overcoming your self doubts and believing in your own abilities, and it's about standing up for your principles when you have nothing to win. Giusti, a 15-year MLB veteran, died at the age of 86 on Jan. 11.

Obituary: Dave Giusti (1939-2026)
RIP to Dave Giusti, one of the most valuable players on the 1971 World Champion Pirates. He was the team's closer and was nearly unhittable in the postseason. Giusti, a 15-year veteran of the majors, died on January 11 at the age of 86. He played for the Houston Colt .45s/Astros (1962, 1964-68), St. Louis Cardinals (1969), Pittsburgh Pirates (1970-1976), Oakland Athletics (1977) and Chicago Cubs (1977). David John Giusti (pronounced "JUST-ee") was born in Seneca Falls, NY, on November 27, 1939. He played numerous sports at North Syracuse High School and was named to the Onondaga County League All-Stars as a football player in 1955 and a basketball player in 1956.
