You’re less likely to picture the man himself, and certainly unlikely to imagine him dressed for a baseball game, wearing a catcher’s mask and a chest protector. But that’s how he was captured, in the nineteen-seventies, by the photographer Mike Mandel. Then a graduate student at…

Between 6 and 7 p.m. Thursday evening, Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper will probably be named the National League’s most valuable player. Nothing is certain. Perhaps Harper’s outdated reputation as a precocious but petulant starlet swayed some voters away from him.

Harper wanted…

LETS…

Yet during baseball’s steroids era, roughly from 1991 to 2003, game results were tilted, records got tarnished, and rival…

My daughter is two years old and chances are she’ll never experience many ordinary things of my youth — hearing a dial tone, putting a stamp on a letter, going to Tower Records and smelling that weird hemp smell or listening to a VCR ever-so-slowly rewind a video.
