San Diego’s Petco Park is the best ballpark in baseball – For The Win
SAN DIEGO — This place rules. I know what you’re thinking: I’m saying that because I’m here right now, enjoying myself in the beautiful Southern California sunshine for All-Star Week and falling victim to the trappings of recency bias. But in fact, I am on record naming Petco Park my favorite in all of baseball during last year’s All-Star Week in Cincinnati. I’ve attended games in 28 of the 30…

Northrop’s Garrett Schoenle is News-Sentinel’s Prep Baseball Player of the Year – News Sentinel
Northrop High School pitcher Garrett Schoenle can testify to the reality of a sophomore slump, and how to turn it into a junior jump. Schoenle burst onto the season as a freshman in 2014, proving to be one of the top pitchers around. His sophomore season didn’t go nearly so well, as he struggled to match his debut season. “As a sophomore, he over-thought the process,” Northrop coach…
A former porn star has become one of DC’s loudest sports fans on social media – Washington Post
Think, for a second, about the most famous fans of D.C. sports teams. There’s Wolf Blitzer and Chris Wallace, Luke Russert and David Gregory, Alan Greenspan and Chuck Todd, Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid, Charles Krauthammer and Ben Bernanke. These are household names in many cases, important and serious men from Official Washington. But they’re not exactly Jack Nicholson or Spike Lee. Which isn’t to say D.C. teams have no celebrity supporters. The…

13 ways to spend the worst sports day of the year – FOXSports.com
The two days after the All-Star Game is what’s known in my household as the worst sports days of the year. None of the four major professional sports leagues based in the U.S. have regular-season games scheduled (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL). With due respect to soccer, I’m just a casual fan of the U.S. national teams — a silly American if you will. Probably a dozen times between Monday and…

The 2016 MLB All-Star Game ushered in baseball’s new era amid a farewell – FOXSports.com
Forget “This One Counts.” Forget the fan voting. Forget the Home Run Derby and national anthems (please forget that) and pregame ceremonies. Tuesday’s All-Star Game wasn’t just an exhibition game — it was a delineation point, a clear juncture between the old guard and the next era of baseball stars. The man who bridged the gap was the last holdout of the prior era’s greats. Jeter and Rivera are retired,…

NFL and NBA players, respectively, populate HBO’s Ballers, returning for a second season Sunday (10 ET/PT) and Starz’s Survivor’s…

ENLARGE On a Friday in October 2009, a delegation of golf executives and players arrived at the Copenhagen Marriott hotel to make one last pitch to members of the International Olympic Committee. Already, golf luminaries from Tiger Woods to Jack Nicklaus had sent video testimonials expressing their support for the sport’s return to the Summer Games. Now, on the day the IOC would vote on golf’s fate, two prominent professionals—Padraig…

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn will not be in attendance at the summer games in Rio this year. “I was going to, but I think with the Zika and everything, it’s probably just better that I watch from home,” Vonn, 31, told PEOPLE while celebrating Under Armour‘s debut of the UA Crossback Bra in West Hollywood on Tuesday. The Under Armour athlete says other Olympians she has spoken to have mixed…
