In other words, all conditions being equal, a long fly ball that reaches the warning track in April might be a home run on a scorching day in July. Which brings us to Arlington, a neighbor of Dallas, and home of the Texas Rangers. There, temperatures routinely reach the 90s throughout the summer. This past August alone, the thermometer topped 100 on 12 different days. Former Rangers head trainer Danny…

The governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike, is heading for a confrontation with the International Olympic Committee and the organisers of the 2020 Olympics over a warning that the Games could cost 3tn yen (£23bn) – four times the original estimate – and a proposal to cancel the construction of three new venues. A panel of independent experts formed by Koike to review venues and costs recently proposed renovating existing venues…

After finishing with the best regular-season record in the North American Soccer League the previous year, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers endured an atrocious start to the 1978 season. They were a sorry 0-3 and outscored by an astounding 13-2 margin. So for their next home game at Lockhart Stadium on 22 April, the team decided to do something about that. A pre-game funeral procession was held. A hearse was driven…

Slowly but surely, the Zepp Labs is taking on every sport known to humankind. And the latest is a biggie. The company is set to start shipping Zepp Play Soccer tomorrow here in the States (hence the name, footy enthusiasts). As with the rest of the Northern California startup’s offerings (which also include baseball/softball, golf and tennis at present), the soccer pack is built around a series of sensors designed…

A job in software sales and consulting gave Steve Arhancet a car and house. Quitting that position and moving across the country to Culver City to become a professional video game player might just buy him a mansion. Last week, Arhancet and business partner Victor Goossens announced they sold a stake in their e-sports club to a multifaceted investment group that includes Dodgers co-owners Peter Guber and Magic Johnson. Terms of…

The small wearable device, which pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth, fits inside a leg sleeve that’s part of the retail bundle. In fact, there are two sizes of sleeves included in the box: small-medium and medium-large. Unlike its other sensors, Zepp says the Play Soccer version isn’t about the company helping you train with video tutorials or tips from professional athletes. Instead, you’re supposed to use the raw data…

Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email print comment A strange yet joyous thing happened to me as I watched the debut of NaciónESPN last Monday: I realized that when it comes to the sports media I consume as a native Spanish-language English speaker, I was always a fan who could never be boxed into a simplistic Spanish-only or English-only rigidness. And for the first time in, like, ever, I was watching three…

It’s going to be a pantheon week in the world of sports, on a level with the first week of April (MLB Opening Day, Final Four and the start of Masters Week—Chris’s personal fave) and the third week in June (NBA and NHL Finals, U.S. Open, and soccer tournaments like the European Championships and World Cup every couple of years—Mark’s choice). Perhaps you’ve heard that Tom Brady will return…

Jevans put the failure of NGBs to comply with the previous goal down to “subconscious” resistance. She said: “I think people default to their comfort factor and their comfort factor is what they’ve always known, what they’ve always been comfortable with and the people they’ve enjoyed working with. It’s the group-think. “Rather than it being consciously discriminatory, it’s just easier to carry on as it’s always been and not question…
