The Toronto Islands, just south of the city in Lake Ontario, are currently flooded. Open to the public in dryer times, they might be closed for another two months because water levels in the lake remain stubbornly high, city officials said. Still, an enterprising imgur user recently managed to gain access to the islands—presumably with a boat of some sort—and found that some carp were happily living on what used…

Oregon State clinched the Pac-12 Conference championship and swept the Civil War series at Oregon in a banner week, and retained its top spot in the Baseball America Top 25, powered by Louisville Slugger.

Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer remained in the game after being hit by a line drive in the fourth inning. (Mark Tenally/AP) When the line drive hit his knee, sending one of the toughest players on the Nationals to his knees, then to his back, writhing in agony, everything seemed to crumble. Max Scherzer spun and stumbled and fell to the ground, got up, stumbled, and went down again. The…

On more than one occasion, I have interviewed Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. In each of these, he has always struck me as willing to answer the hard questions, and do so intelligently. In each of the last two interviews I have had with him, the topic of fan safety has been discussed, namely around increasing safety netting past the dugouts. When asked what premium Manfred placed on the…

Mention the name of Steve Palermo around baseball and those who worked with him, knew him or had only heard of him usually bow their heads, lower their eyes and simply nod. An umpire with Hall of Fame potential, all cut short on that summer night in Texas a long time ago. Palermo, whose accomplished career ended when he was shot trying to break up a robbery in 1991, has…

In fact, my mother is the reason I love baseball, but you might have already known that because I talk about her a lot. I have many stories that I could tell…

It looked like Nebraska’s ninth-inning lead against Michigan State was about to go away with one swing of the bat Sunday. The Huskers led 8-7 with two outs in the top of the ninth when the Spartans’ Marty Bechina drove a ball to deep left-center field. It would’ve been a game-tying home run if it wasn’t for freshman left fielder Mojo Hagge. Hagge tracked the ball down and made a…
