Guy Zinn played five major league seasons between 1911 and 1915, including a stint as a New York Highlander (later the Yankees). (Wikimedia Commons) Even if you’re a baseball history buff, you’ve probably never come across the name Guy Zinn. The major league outfielder played only five seasons between 1911 and 1915 for teams in New York, Boston and Baltimore and compiled a very ordinary .269 career batting average (to be fair, it’s…

Don’t count out Ryan Howard just yet. The former National League MVP may be 37 years old and unemployed for the first time in his major-league career, but he’s not ready to walk away either. That was evidenced in a new video posted by Whistle Sports titled ‘No Days Off.’ The video takes us behind the scenes in Howard’s rigorous offseason training, which his training partner says is aimed at…

Sometime in the not-so-distant future, nobody will blink about what Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey announced he was doing on Monday – skipping the team’s upcoming appearance in the Sun Bowl. Why is he doing it? “So I can begin my draft prep immediately,” McCaffrey said in a statement. McCaffrey had already declared he was turning pro after his junior season. That was earlier in the month. This was the realization that…

9.36am EST09:36 Summary So it took a while but Brailsford finally gave us some clarity about what was in the package that was delivered to Bradley Wiggins at the Dauphiné in 2011. Questions will inevitably be asked as to why Team Sky and British Cycling went to such lengths to deliver such a trivial-seeming medication (fluimucil) and why something that it is advised should not be used to treat an…

BURLINGTON, Vt.—A 32-save performance from senior goaltender Alex Sakellaropoulos and a timely Jeff Taylorpower-play goal lifted the No. 12/13 Union College men’s hockey team to a 2-1 win and a weekend sweep against No. 10/11 Vermont, Sunday evening at Gutterson Fieldhouse.

9:00 AM ET Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email print comment Sometimes in baseball, we need to look down, not up. We need to look south, not north. We need to turn our gaze away from the usual suspects — the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, the … aw, you know who we mean. So today, let’s stare at the basement. We know there’s hope for…

Over the next few weeks, college football’s bowl extravaganza will sweep the nation. Which, in addition to storied traditions like the Rose Bowl, means we’ll get not one, not two, not three but four games held in MLB stadiums: the Miami Beach Bowl at Marlins Park, the St. Petersburg Bowl at Tropicana Field, the Cactus Bowl at Chase Field and the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium. Of course, this is hardly the…

If you’re a little sick of the quarterback controversy talk out of Dallas this NFL season, you now at least have someone to blame. Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott has been a major weapon for the Cowboys this year. He played well enough out of the gate to steal the starting job from Tony Romo while the veteran recovered from a back injury suffered in preseason. With only a few weeks left…

Unveiling the survey and the blueprint, Sarah Troughton, the SCSTG’s chairman, said: “Our vision for Scotland’s fishing, shooting and stalking industry is that it will become the global country sport tourism destination of choice known for its sustainable, premium quality and diverse Scottish offering, unsurpassed by any other country in the world.” The report said the industry’s strengths included the heritage and long tradition of country sports in Scotland, its…

Anyone But Murray, eh? The ABM meme could hardly seem more tatty and irrelevant now, seven years after it was spawned with spite and ignorance, before the difficult Scot had proved Little Englanders and other snipers wrong with his eloquent tennis racket. Instead, the question that is now being asked – and answered in the affirmative – across nearly every media platform is an uplifting one: is Andy Murray this…

There are all sorts of ways to lose to the Packers, and the Bears have experienced most of them during the past 25 years. But it would be hard to find one as Bear-ish as the way they lost Sunday. Thirty-six seconds left in the game, the score tied after a valiant Bears comeback and the Packers at their own 26-yard line on third-and-11 without a timeout left. In literature,…

I have just got off the phone with BT “customer services” in South Shields and, as usual with BT, I am fuming. I decided to check my latest BT bill online – I opted for paperless bills many months ago – only to discover I am being charged £6 a month for access to BT Sport. This is odd, as I never watch it, and nor did I ever agree…

HEBRON, West Bank –  For over a week, Palestinian soccer fans have been enjoying a special Christmas-season present: the first visit by Chilean soccer club Deportivo Palestino to the West Bank. Two-time winners of Chile’s Premier Division and quarter finalists in this year’s Copa Sudamerica, Palestino was founded in 1920 in the capital city Santiago by Palestinian immigrants. The team has a huge following among Palestinians and President Mahmoud…

The rivalry between #CR7 and Barcelona’s Lionel Messi has gone back and forward for close to a decade since the two players finished second and third respectively in the voting for the 2007 Ballon d’Or. The intense rivalry has also been played out through the lens of their respective clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona and to a lesser extent their countries, Portugal and Real Madrid. Each has pushed the other…
