How Mark McGwire's hitting lessons helped a Cardinals closer to All-Star form

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:42:30 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Mark McGwire, once one of the most revered sluggers in all of baseball, helped many St. Louis Cardinals teammates with hitting as he chased home run history. But it's his work with one former All-Star pitcher that's recently caught attention. After he retired in 2001, McGwire acknowledged he used PEDs throughout his career, but he apologized and wanted to come clean with a second life in baseball. McGwire joined the St. Louis Cardinals' coaching staff from 2010-2012, developing relationships with players that eventually fostered a World Series Championship in 2011. The Cardinals averaged around five runs per game each season and improved in run production in each of their three years with McGwire coaching, so clearly something clicked.

Peach cobbler as you’ve never seen it

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:42:30 GMT

Whether it’s a fancy apple tarte Tatin, a robust pineapple-ringed upside-down cake or a saucy flan, there’s something thrilling and suspenseful about turning your homemade dessert on its head.Any of these acrobatic dishes would taste fine served right-side up from the pan. But it’s that stunning reveal that adds a little drama and puts the fruit right on top, where it can shine.That’s the inspiration behind this upside-down peach cobbler.In traditional peach cobbler, you mix peaches with sugar and sometimes butter, hide them with rounds of biscuit dough, and bake. Spooned out of the baking dish and served in bowls, the cobbler’s modest simplicity is part of its charm. But, however delicious this might be, it doesn’t do much to show off the peaches.Throw in a gilding of caramel and an elegant flip, though, and you’ve got a confection to win oohs and aahs.Most of the effort of this recipe goes into simmering the caramel, which is what makes this truly special.
